I've also heard the bookstore holding the signing is absolutely AWESOME. ::iz jealous::
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

[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.
Well, T, who's a friend of two friends (he stayed with A and A after Katrina, and is friends with a fellow RPCV) works at the store and also does radio interviews with writers. So, you know, you come visit, I'll introduce you! I was thinking of you last night listening to The Stooges Brass Band - it was damn near a whole marching band horn line - three trumpets, three trombones, an alto sax, a tuba, and at least two drummers - and they had some horn angle choreography going on. Whapow! Talk about a wall of sound.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
There's certainly enough anecdata around the phenomenon. My VERY non-woowoo BiL's admittedly bs pet theory is that caring for a newborn exposes you to stem cells at a crazy rate. He's been surprised to see the arthritis he's struggled with since a brown recluse bite in his 20s easing considerably in the year + he's been a father. It makes evolutionary sense enough -- raising a small child is taxing as hell, its good if the little nipper actually physically benefits you in SOME way.
I have read actual research - somewhere - that fetal cells (stem cells, maybe, I dunno) migrate to the mother's brain during pregnancy. What they do, unknown. It is both fascinating and creepy. But if that's possible, then surely it's possible, even likely, that fetal stem cells could end up in other body parts and ... do something good, right? Hey, if sniffing babies is rejuvenating, I'm gonna hafta borrow some babies to huff.

I've been a sloth all freaking day. Tonight, sleep. Things will look better in the morning. But I need to solve dinner first.

Hah! I of course like the bad-ass meara, but would not have flinched at big-ass meara...in that context.

I can't raise one eyebrow, but I do VERY well at lifting one side of my upper lip for a nice snarl.
That says something about me, doesn't it?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Oooops. I totally fell asleep on the couch wand was asleep when the mom came to pick up the girls I'm watching. She laughed and said we must have had a good time at the pool. Which we did. All day.
