Cafe Gratitude is actually pretty good. The taco salad is very tasty, and the key lime pie is unexpectedly amazing.
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Cool! I am looking forward to one of their juice blends. I haven't decided on which one yet.

Erin, I bought mine on amazon.com. They run a bit small.

Shakey's Pizza is coming back to our region! Hubby still waxes poetic about the place.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I've had some good meals at Cafe Gratitude in Berkeley. I believe their chocolate mousse is pretty nom.
Holy small world, Batman. Just met my roommate for the next month, and googled him as soon as he walked out, and he played rugby for the University. Which means, if we didn't meet, we surely drank from the same keg (not a euphemism) at an alumni weekend. He seems quite nice.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Good to know, sj. I will get a XXL then, for Les Tittaes.
You guys have seen Forehead Tittaes, right? [link]
My training call for Shmoop.com (ooh, I went public with the Sekrit Name now that I'm all official-like) went well -- it was fun, they are right next to Google in MV, CA -- and if I rock this, I think there's a good chance I could get some gig work in the future from them! WOO.
This gig will be lots of work, but fun, I think.

“Not dead yet!”
I SO need that tshirt to wear to school on casual Fridays. My sis has it, and wore it to work at the bookstore a lot.
I have that shirt and almost always wear it on the Sunday of writers' conferences, which tend to be the most casual days. I've been told it's mean. I've responded "Have you met me?"

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Guys are confusing. I've been emailing a guy on eHarmony, and we seemed to really connect. Then he suggested meeting in person, and I said that I wasn't going to be free either of the next two weekends, but that we could talk on the phone and then meet later. I gave him my number. He said great. He said he'd call me early in the week. I said I looked forward to hearing from him. And now it's Thursday, and he hasn't called. I do not understand.

Punishingly Intricate
Many people have phone fear.
I really want Bob to get home. His plane has landed and everything. But I kind of hope I can finish this episode of ANTM before he gets here! The Traveling Husband Conundrum!

Hil, phone fear can be HUGE. No visual cues, no chance to edit your words, no chance to go to the bathroom and get a breath. Just talking.
Email is much easier. Has he emailed? You might want to email hi, if he hasn't and just be all "Ugh, my work week, or ooh, this show blah blah light chatter. Love to chat with you on the phone before we meet; I know some people hate talking on the phone -- you? I'd just like to maybe talk about places me might to, get a voice to go with your voice, just a quick convo" or something like that, maybe.
That shirt isn't mean, Barb! It's TRUE!
