Liese, it totally makes sense in my brain!
Amy, I meant to ask in the other thread and forgot while I was typing--why are you drinking a $9 beer? Is it made of magic?
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Oh, that's no fun, Hil. Is there something different about your classroom environment this year?
Not really. Actually, in general, it's better this year -- all my classes in the same room. There are a few stairs to deal with, which I didn't have last year, but I've got stairs at my house, so adding a few more at school doesn't seem like it should make a difference.

Hil, sorry about the pain.
meara, (which my iPhone wants to autocorrect as "meats") ha! No, I wish. Mmmm...magic beer. Every Tuesday night at a local bar is Pint Night, where they have a special beer on tap, and you get to keep the glass. Between my neighbors, my student interns, my love of beer, and the fact that it's just a few blocks from my house, it's sort of a tradition. Tonight's beer (some Québécois beer, can't remember, that was a few pints ago) just happened to be $9.00, which is more expensive than usual, but it was really good! Wait...it was Unibroue Raftman? I think?

You drank a unibrow beer? Does it give you a unibrow? I hope not. :)

Jeez, me too. But if it improves my French, I'll spring for an extreme eyebrow wax!

Continued good luck, omnis!
So I am going to take a shower and be in bed by eight. SO TIRED. Out of town guests are messing with my work-eat-sleep regimen. Also, I told B about my issues with StW. Why? Because I have a big fucking mouth and can't self-edit. It's okay, because he has a sense of humor about how much of an ass he (B) is. WHATEVER. The point is, I am taking a shower and going to bed, and fuck all y'all (general y'all, non-Buffista types) with your going out and your relationships that actually exist and your ability to stay up past 8 pm.
That was supposed to be funny, but I think it missed. Oh well.
Pint night! I had a bourbon and ginger here, in honor. Okay, it was a coincidence, but that counts, right?

Good luck with the real estate omnis!
I went to Spherion today and had an initial interview. I don't think I did well. However, I will see if I'm just being pessimistic.
Then I went and got my hair cut because I haven't since before I moved and I've defaulted to wearing it in a ponytail and I've felt lazy and sloppy so this is what it looks like now: [link]
It's based on the stylist's cut (which was shorter in the front). I'm not sure I'm exactly sold on the cut but it's a style.
