I've pitched a live anteater as a mascot to my boss. I think he's on board.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

[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.

Went back and read the Awesome post. Forwarded it to my sister and told her to print it out and post it by her mirror. I should probably do the same.

Love it!

Shoe post! Yes, my love of shoes extends to the baby boy variety. Which navy sneak do you like best? (I do realize these are stupid $ to spend on baby shoes, but I love.)
- Vans [link] Baby just outgrew these (hence the need for another pair of blue shoes) so it might be fun to change it up. I do LOVE these shoes, though...
- Converse slip-on [link] A classic.
- Saucony Jazz [link] Mamas both have these and they are super comfortable, not to mention cute.

Waking Up Full of Awesome
How grateful am I that my girl wakes up full of that sort of awesome? Every now and again, I allow myself to believe I did something right, even if it's only allowing Abby to be her own girl.
Speaking of which, the latest Abby-ism: earlier this week, her favorite pair of jeans gasped their last. When I told her she would have to find a new pair of jeans she threw up her hands and declared, "Blasphemy! Balderdash! And gosh darn it!"
I didn't even bother holding back the laughter.

Rice Krispies:
Much ~ma for Maria and husband. Thinking good thoughts for you today, sorella.
Also, ~ma for Matt's friend and hoping there's no major surgeries involved.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So I have a fictional upper middle class black couple--the wife is a lecturer and the husband is an engineer, and they live in an affluent black suburb, and they're not *too* far from a Jamaican community. Where can I set this story?

Art Crawl!!!
Glam - all cute shoes. . . I find myself drawn to the idea of your little one and his mamas in matching footgear. . . there should be pictures.

I missed this discussion yesterday. PG County would work, but the LeDroit Park (where I live) would work as well. However, neither of them are places where white faces would be out of place.
I don't know of a specific Jamaican community in DC, but it would be located in or around U Street or Adams Morgan. Again, places where white faces would not be out of place.

If my forehead is itchy and hurts a bit, does that make me Harry Potter, and Voldemort is nearby? Mmmm maybe not. But I am at doc office waiting to have stitches come out. While I want them out, not looking forward to the actual removing process.

I'm looking for somewhere where they're not being run out on rails, just that people look at them with a bit of amusement. They definitely catch attention, and when one wants to go clubbing or something, the other suggests they just skip it and drink in the hotel room. I want them to feel a minority in the face of black America, and a minority in the face of Jamaican expats too. Double whammy.
I could kinda do this in Detroit, but not in 2010 or 2011.
