Also, Kate, welcome back! Can't wait to hear stories and see pics. I hope your hot water is restored very soon! I used you and your DH as an example tonight of folks who met on OKC. You and Dan, too, Erin!

[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.

Ahahahaha! Yeah. So true.
Glad you had a good day!
We chilled pretty hard. I slept till around almost noon and then we watched some QI and Futurama. Then went to our friends' restaurant for grilled burgers & stuff, and then back home where we deployed "the cloud" (i.e., folding out the futon so we could both lie on it with pillows, etc) and watched Star Trek TNG.
We also made an easy pasta/tomato/goat cheese dinner and then prepped for tomorrow's crockpot carnitas experiment.
We'd done chores and stuff on Saturday so it felt OK to really just burrow in. Man, I cannot wait till vacation.

Nora, remind me what the dates are? I need to put that on my calendar.
St.W is on his way back over b/c he left his work bag here. I am not at all annoyed to get another chance to say good night.
Also, I quit smoking today. Again.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm home and glad to be. I can't believe the stuff people are setting off in the streets. The air is choked with smoke.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
The extremely loud explosions in the parking lot next to my building have finally ceased, so I guess it is safe to go to sleep.
Happy 4th everyone!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I guess I'm revealing my US-centricness, but I think if you said "Americans," I would have assumed you didn't mean South Americans, Central Americans, or even non-US-North Americans. Since this is such a US-specific holiday and all, I would have assumed that "American" was shorthand for "citizen of the United States of America," which does after all have the word "America" in its name.
It's hard for me to grok anyone but people from the US thinking of themselves as "Americans". "North Americans" or "South Americans" -- but a Canadian and an Chilean describing themselves as "American" is like a Dane and a Thai describing themselves as "Eurasian".

Argh. Dear friend B, when you suggested I watch the fireworks from your place I expressed worry about the parking and congestion after. You said you could take turns scooting me and your gf home on your vespa. I did NOT say I wanted to walk four miles home at 11:30 pm. Jesus.
(note: instead I'm pissed off, he refused to get on the scooter even though traffic is mad baked up and he couldgo around, and I walke a mile an change to the bus which will only get me to within a mile of home. Grrrrrr)

WTF, B? Dude should have manned up and revved up the scooter.
