I wish I could get Good Night Irene out of my head.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Don't you have special nail polish spreadsheets?
I have a spreadsheet of gluten-free recipes that I've bookmarked. I ought to just make those into PDFs, and will at some point, but it's useful to just look at the spreadsheet and know I have a recipe for, say, corn pudding or pumpkin pie (yes, I am already anticipating what I can bring to Thanksgiving to ensure that I get to eat more than dry turkey and olives).
Relatedly, I am going to make cookies right now.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Pfft. Having grown up in South Florida where Hurricane parties were common, I think that's a perfectly sane response.
I remember being caught in a blizzard in Tennessee some (lots) years back and being shocked that the bars were closed.

Thrive to spite them
Sorry about the root canal Teppy.
I'm planning on making a chicken stew type thing tonight. I walked downtown some and I went to the yarn shop where I'd bought some sock weight yarn to make a scarf and showed it to the owner. She was really impressed (she knits but hasn't learned to crochet) and while I was there a couple other knitters stopped by and liked what I'd started. It was a neat feeling.
She's starting a knitting/crochet group in a couple of weeks and I'm going and excited to learn stuff = there are going to be classes at some point - but also to get a social outlet.

I wish I could get Good Night Irene out of my head.
You and me both. It doesn't help that it has this verse:
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a great notion
Just to jump in the river and drown.

Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife are parted
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown.
Now I want to listen to my Weavers collection on my iPod. Love listening to Ronnie Gilbert singing "House of the Rising Sun."

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I remember picking up a 12 pack of beer the morning after the big Northridge quake back in 94 while others were grabbing water, etc. After such an intense experience, alcohol was a necessity.

My county probably won't see much from Irene, but I still picked up four litres of tonic water and some limes, to go with the gin I bought last weekend. Just in case.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I still picked up four litres of tonic water and some limes, to go with the gin I bought last weekend. Just in case.
And buying the gin in advance was the real stroke of genius!
(Seriously, I'm concerned that we won't even get any rain at all out of this thing. And vibing hard for people who are actually in the path.)
