I'm with Scrappy and Cass on the Groupon ad, although I can totally see how it offends.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Terry Pratchett is a badass.
Pratchett, believing the sword would not truly be his own unless it was made from metal he had produced, found a field with deposits of iron ore near his home in Wiltshire, west of London.
He gathered the deposits and smelted the iron ore himself.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Pratchett has been my hero for years. A gift to humanity.
Heh. Not only did Terry smelt the ore himself, he threw in meteorites for the magic of them.
However beautiful that sword may be, it can never be as sharp as his mind.

Our wings are not tired.
I used to think Terry Pratchett, Joan Miro, and Camille Pissaro were all women.

Count me among those who saw the Groupon ad and immediately went "SERIOUSLY??" I can see where they were trying to go with it...and I think they totally failed. As someone said on another site I was reading, if they'd used a FAKE cause, it totally would've worked. But using REAL causes was just shitty and didn't make me want to use Groupon (and be a smug douchebag) at all!

I was confused for a long time at Mass when the priest would call for us to pray for "'Michelle Saba', patriarch in Jerusalem" and I couldn't figure out why there was a girl patriarch. Nope, Michel, who I guess has a French name.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

this is where I'm at. I don't think I'll feel comfortable using Groupon again.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
there's something odd happening with my younger cat's ear. His left ear is slightly lowered/cocked at an odd angle i've never seen maintained for more than a few seconds right before a good ear scritchin. It's been like that for more than 20 minutes now. I don't see any sign of injury or mites...what else could it be?

Infection in the ear potentially.
