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 should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

OMG, the Crow dude on Jilli's fb discussion is making me cringe. Over. And. Over. Gonna stop reading now.

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 think my facebook is about to become home to a debate about why skimpy costumes for kids and tweens are not appropriate, and saying "It's just for Halloween" is not an excuse. This should be interesting to watch happen.

My objecton is that whore-ifying costumes SUCK regardless of your age. If you want to dress like a ladybug break out some paper mache and dress like a fucking ladybug. If you want to wear something skin-tight-sexy be catwoman or a mermaid or an Avatar or any of the THOUSANDS of scantily clad things you can compose largely of body paint or illusion fabric.

As far as youngish or even young kids dressing "sexy" if its a costume, sure if it follows those rules. Or is for a dance recital. A costume is a costume and clothes is clothes and my hypothetical 12 year old should get to exercise her imagination regardless of the world's pervs who will perv on her regardless of WHAT she is wearing.

oh don't get me started on teen dance recitals. I'd much rather open my front door and give them candy than watch them hump each other in the school cafetorium.

I can't seem to find my motivation to plow through this paper calendar of events. Yes, I didn't finish that task from yesterday. Are we sensing a theme here?

Slow cooker veggie:

about a pound of broccoli chopped, about a pound of onions chopped, sweet peppers and cherry tomatoes to taste. about 8 oz of pineapple (fresh, canned or frozen). about a half cup of coconut milk. 3 tablespoons curry powder. lots of garlic. black pepper. 1 teaspoon salt. 1 table brown sugar or honey. about 24 oz of firm tofu chopped small. 1/4 cup lemon juice, one quarter cup wine. Tablespoon olive oil. Cook in slow cooker. About an hour before done, add 4 oz whole wheat spahgetti, whole wheat angel hair, whole wheat vermacili or similar pasta. (Yeah, you can use brown rice pasta or bean threads or non-whole grain pasta. If not no-no for you I really think whole wheat pasta tastes best in this)

Our wings are not tired.

Smonster, I know you wanted to add paid outdoors work to your CV, and this organization sounds noble and a good cause. Do they pay for relo if they do happen to transfer you to NOLA?

Some questions you can consider:

1. Would you be happy there if they did not transfer you?

2. If they went under in 6 mos or 1 year, would you have gained enough experience there to be better prepared for your next job search? (making this a transition/bridge job which makes perfect sense in a lot of ways).

thanks again, Typo!

I just found John Shore's blog (followed from SLOG) and I'm really enjoying reading an alternative Christian point of view. He's commented on a survey that found atheists and agnostics know more about religion than people who say they are religious. For instance, a majority of Protestants couldn't identify Martin Luther as the driving force behind the Protestant reformation. Fascinating.
