Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

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 were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I like that Real Genius review. That's the movie that won me a European holiday, I've always had a soft spot for it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh--I wasn't comparing my brains to Jordan's, at all. Rather her flitting from subject to subject with lack of apparent linear logic, and her bringing up subjects in the middle sort of at random. Randomosity R I. And apparently that's a little off-putting to some people.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

My dance teacher keeps saying that all good dancers are incredible clods in real life

As someone who has worked with many professional dancers, this is entirely true. I've watched prima ballerinas walk into door frames in fully lit hallways. The focus is...elsewhere.

And then there are the people who just look at you a little wonderingly and say "I wish I could have heard the rest of that paragraph in your head." We like the people who get that we run on a slightly different track, but don't think that it's necessarily a bad thing.

Man, I just checked, and there's no CSTS event in NOLA.

CSTS San Diego is generally late July, to coincide with ComicCon, so you could catch that one...IJS. (I would happily put up the air mattress for you).

I also wanted to link to the new dress I bought on Monday as an early birthday present:

Now I just need an occasion or destination to wear it to.

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.

Barb, I could only watch about half that video (stupid weird itchy irritated eyes, thank heavens I can type with my eyes closed), but

He said the back bend move was alarming. *snicker*

I gotta say, I was greatly impressed by the depth and grace of it. Also, you have delicious legs. Kinda wanna take a nibble.

Note to self: Stop rubbing your damn eyes, it doesn't help.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I thought you looked darling, darling!

Tell me, though -- when you put that dress on, did you just spin around in it a million times? Because I totally wouldn't have been able t stop myself.

Andi, try cold steeped tea bags on your eyes. Helps my allergy eye to feel less flamey.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

You made everything look so effortless in that dance, Barb!

So today I have unexpectedly off. My org's fiscal year ends on 6/30, and I had a use-it-or-lose-it vacation day, and no meetings scheduled today. So my manager said, "Off you go."

I'm thinking of getting a massage, then biking over to a nearby coffee house for a day of books and fic.

Punishingly Intricate

Now I just need an occasion or destination to wear it to.

Hee! My friend got that dress and promptly wore it to work (at a bookstore). Her husband was like "It looks like a prom dress" but everyone else thought she looked smashing! It's a gorgeous dress!

Our wings are not tired.

Belated birthday wishes for Epic. May this be your best year to date.

Wow Barb! Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
