I would go get a history degree just to teach that text.
I got Emmett this history book for xmas and he loves it. (It's from the same guy at Cracked, and it's (a) very funny and (b) historically accurate.)
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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.

Oh, that's awesome! I've read all those Cracked articles, but I didn't know they came out in a book. I may get that for Dan's bday.

You guys. Mardi Gras season is KICKING MAH ASS.
Not from drinking, but just the marathon of it all. Holy crap.

Wooo. That was a total adrenaline dump. Still vibrating. Will post a link once it's up on the web. My parents said I did very well, and I think I managed to hit all the main points. Nora, I gave you a nameless shoutout - mentioned a friend who had moved down after volunteering and that I was getting to experience Mardi Gras through you.
And thanks, Ginger.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Wishing you luck on tv, smonster, that lots of people will see and respond to the fund raiser. I know you are lovely, smart, and passionate. You'll be great.

Well, darn. I was participating in an exercise challenge at work - to get at least three ten-minute periods of physical activity each day for six weeks. Active housework like vacuuming counted (I got some mileage from shoveling). I was hoping that after getting into the habit, it would be easy and automatic to keep it up. It ended Saturday (I was on track the whole 6 weeks), and yesterday, all I did was laundry. That's nothing to sneeze at, hauling the load down two flights of stairs, then hauling the wet load up one flight and hanging it on the drying racks - I figure, it counts, but as only one 10-minute slot. Well, today, at work, I will get at least 20 (doing range of motion exercises with a couple of people, plus they make laps around the house, and if I walk with them, that could add up to more). On the other hand, the local nature center is hosting a 5k run/1k walk in April, and I'm thinking about participating in the walk. I suppose I had better check if it is on a weekend that I'm working.
