Hello dolls! Busy day at work and I'm headed to bed now, but just wanted to pop in for a moment. Love and ~ma to all.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I have come to the conclusion that when trying to build an academic career (on in my case: when others' are making suggestions you can't refuse to and you're playing along), sex is something you only read about in fanfiction (that is, in the 10 minutes you have to yourself on the bus after finishing an article for class), and social life is the time you spend online with friends (between sending emails to professors).
Not that I'm complaining on my unbelievable academic luck (not sure if I've mentioned it, but now I'm the unofficial TA to Respected Professor (technicalities only, nothing fancy like grading and such - while I'm still learning for my B.A.)), and I squeeze a true social interaction every now and then, but man, I miss those things.
Started to watch more Buffy, though.

Things that are annoying me today:
1. The new cleaners that charged me $12 for a pants suit, then did not remove the stain on the leg (in fact, I'm not sure it was there when I put it in), which I did not notice until I sat down at work. Plus, they did not press the jacket properly.
2. People who try to maintain a relationship with text messaging or IM, especially when they bail on real life events because they're "tired" or "sick".
3. That I can't remember the third thing that was annoying me when I started typing this post.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
OK, that baby antelope is utterly adorable.

:: tap tap tap :: Is this thing working?
Let me get this straight. I skimmed a couple hundred posts. Then realized I was still over a week behind, and skipped to the end, only to discover nobody has posted since NOON board time? wow. That is rare.
Miss y'all. Hope everyone is good. Brackets as needed. New job keeps me way too busy during the day to keep up in here. Very sad. I guess that puts me unofficially grey. Humbug.
Just voted for f2f cities. Not sure if I'm too late to the party for vote to count. But the tbd dates look good for me to attend! :: crosses fingers ::

Hi omnis! It's DENVER!
...I'd say more, but I'm sleepy and only waiting for this show to be over in 5 min before I sleep. Stupid 7AM conference call, 8AM other conference call, and shit I gotta do tomorrow.

This.
Hope you're getting the odd break somewhere, Shir!
I'll go back and read 300 posts in a minute. Hi, all. I'm too busy and too tired. Productive and very happy, though. I currently love my PhD. (Research methods FTW. Seriously.)

Wait, I'm sensing a trend here. Shir goes to university. Seska is getting PhD. I work at university. All too busy to do much else. I think this university thing is a racket. It might be an alien control thing. Ooo! I get it now. They attract the brightest minds, then devoid them of life, suck the energy out of them, and BAM! They can conquer the world a lot easier! Be on the look out for big V ships invading a university town near you.

Omnis_Audis needs to stop falling asleep while watching sci-fi shows.

OMG.
That makes every kind of sense.
