Frelling hotel internet has eaten 2 long posts.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Trying again.
Other than the hotel, I'm really enjoying this trip. I spent way too much today on bras at a wonderful little lingerie shop. It turns out my band size went down and my cup size went up. A perfect fitting bra feels so good!
Dinner tonight was at a tapas bar, and it was so yummy. Foie gras, duck proscuitto, and paella!
I also found out that we are right near Edith Wharton's house, so we're definitely going there this weekend. The literary geek in me is quite happy.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Pix, that is such bullshit! This cost $35 to replace.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
weather dot com tells me that grass pollen has been high and going to get worse over the next couple of days.
We've got wafting clouds of pollen going by today. Ugh.

The status is NOT quo.

Yep. And ND says he could replace the entire keyboard and inner casing for $300. I will ask them if there is any shot of getting my hands on the laptop for him to see if he can fix it, but I suspect it has been relegated to Apple heaven.

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.
bonny, I'm sorry you are having such a miserable time. Am I remembering there is some reason why Tylenol is not an option for you? I find it often kicks fever better than NSAIDS, but if you can't, you can't.
Hil, that sounds like a pain in the behind.
sj, I'm glad you are having such a nice weekend.
Pix, still boggling over the IT ass-y-ness.

Thanks, but I'm not sure that I'm at the point where I could really write more than a sentence or two. Also, I don't know how to email with the Hebrew alphabet.
Whenever you'll feel up to it. As for emailing in Hebrew - there's always the Hebrew virtual keyboard.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yay for impromptu getaways, sj!
I am awake. I went to sleep less than 4 hrs ago. And my sis is staying over, so I can't even get up and be productive, or try sleeping on the couch. ::grumps::

Heh. Happy progress in the laptop incident. Got an email from my US Director in response to my letter:
I knew nothing about this situation or the "senior admin" decision. I think it's an issue to be taken up with [jerky head of business dept].
This is very good news. The business guy has a ton of power and this may not matter in the long run, but it means that he acted on his own and then claimed the senior admin team made the decision when they did not even know about the situation. That means I will have advocates.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Argh. eHarmony kept matching me with people in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, which are both about three hours away, and trying to meet guys who live out there hasn't really worked, so I reset my preferences to say that I prefer people who live within 60 miles of me, and now the site is just giving me a whole ton of guys who spend their entire profile talking about how much they like hunting. There have to be guys living around here who aren't hunters.
