Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

[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.

'm eating Speculoos spread. It's a spread made out of cookies. It is amazing.
I recall Kat saying it was the new Nutella. ;)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hey, Vortex, I have an idea for a belated birthday celebration... which reminds me I need to email you and Zenkitty.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Okay, I LOVE Cyndi Lopper!
She's so unusual.
Right now I'm torn between going to the store for some Pink Lady apples and finishing up the mowing of the lawn.
I promised Andi that I would pick up that kind of apple today, but the yard isn't finished and both dark and she will be here soon.
Argh.
Maybe some more mowing, then a dash to the store.

Happy birthday, Vortex! Slounge around with some premium booze for your ennuiday in some slinky nightie, sigh loudly a lot, and extra points for wielding a cigarette holder, even if there's not cigarette in it!!
I find Cyndi Lopper amusing also.
Woo! I am so pumped by the positive responses to the resumes. I WILL EMPLOY ALL TEH BUFFISTAZ!
It's a more achievable goal than cleaning all the things, really...
Note to senior who plagiarized her senior project (which we worked on for a month, and for which I taught many, many lessons on citations, quotes, paraphrasing and what constitutes plagiarism) necessitating three hours of research and documentation on the GIANT PARAGRAPHS OF TEXT she lifted, as getting a 0 on this project means she won't graduate (in 8 days). This is her second revision AFTER I showed her her paper in plagiarism checker and told her how she needed to cite and rework her paper:
FUCK. YOU. You are an idiot, and you will cause me a huge amount of time and grief dealing with blowback from your laziness.
No love, Me

The thing is? Citing is easy with word processors. That's a level of laziness that is impressive.

“Not dead yet!”
Jeebus H on a piece of burnt toast, Erin. Bitch got a second chance and still fucked it up?
She'll probably be president one day...

It wasn't just citing. Fully 3/4 of her paper was blocks of text lifted from places. And the other 1/4 I can't PROVE, but I KNOW most of it was uncited uncredited paraphrases.
She did TRY, though *saracasm*. She put in three parenthetical citations (AuthorLastName, publication date) at the end of four pf the 9 paragraphs she lifted entirely and didn't put quote marks around. Of course, for two, she cited the wrong damn author of the shit she stole. She just slapped a random author name from her (incorrectly formatted) Works Cited page at the end of the paras.
And she's not stupid. This was a cut and paste job.
I am FURIOUS. This girl was on homebound, didn't do the work, she and her mother have...exaggerated her medical condition, and she lies about shit to get out of going to class, but wants to "graduate with her class."
Then do the goddamned work, and quit your incompetent falsehoods. I don't care if you fuck yourself up at this point, but now she's fucking up MY workload. Which is strained enough, thanks.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've skipped madly to the end to ask cat-capturing advice: Sammie the Cat, after two days gone, has returned to my patio, and is pleased to see me. I found a bunch of pale fur in the driveway the morning he didn't come back and I was halfway sure he'd been eaten by something. It's been raining heavily the whole time, though, and I know he has some hidey-place he goes to when it rains, so that's probably where he's been. (I am certain he does not have a human.) After that little panic, I'm determined not to let him get away again. BUT! It's nighttime, and the vet doesn't open until 9am. Should I leave him in a kennel-box all night long? Presuming I can even get him in it. Should I bring him in or leave him outside? I don't want him inside until he's been checked by the vet and I know he's not bringing my inside kitties any diseases. I've never had to capture a cat before, and as friendly as he is towards me, I know he's not going to just walk into that box. What should I do? He's usually here in the mornings for food, but what if he leaves again and doesn't come back? fret
cross-posted with Natter because I want lots of advice. soonest.
