These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Connie, I didn't mention it here, but yes we got them late last week. My DL came in too. So relieved!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Yay for India trip! So exciting.

Last load folded and put away. Except that I ran out of hangers. Eesh.

So, despite being on prednisone, zyrtec, Zantac, OTC painkillers, and topical anti-itch gel - I'm still itching. And now I'm getting hives on my forearm where the worst of the poison ivy is. Not pleased, y'all.

“Not dead yet!”

Urgh, smonster. That is suckitude of the highest order.

Our wings are not tired.

Very exciting happenings with sj eloping and DJ going to India. Love watching the plans come together.

Ugh, smonster. Maybe a break for a cool shower is in order.

Watching the Dolphins on slight delay pausing as I alternate football and unpacking. Bobby made some box mac 'n cheese with extra cheddar and red pepper flakes. Tasty.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

we leave for freaking India on Wednesday!

I leave for Milwaukee on Wednesday. That's...not as exciting.

DJ, let's exchange addresses in email so we can send each other postcards. I still have the postcard from your last trip abroad!! And Maria's from Italy, too. I love postcards. I got out of the habit of sending them because Steve doesn't think it's fun to sit in a cafe and write them, but this next trip I have several days before and after Steve's overlap, so I will have time to indulge.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I really should do laundry. Really don't want to. I guess I'll at least do dishes, since that's easier, and I've got enough clean clothes for another few days, but don't even have enough clean dishes for dinner.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I'm glad the visas and DL came through for you, DJ.

smonster, I sure hope the poison ivy itchiness stops soon.

The raised beds were finished last night so I've spent this morning trying to transplant the plants I bought way back on Oct 2. I hope they survive. I bought them all as small as I could because I suspected there'd be a delay on the raised beds but I didn't know it would be this huge a delay. So all of the plants are rootbound now and some, like the poppies, aren't looking that healthy.

I also dug a hole and emptied my bokashi bin into one of the beds and covered it with soil. Bokashi is a Japanese composting method that basically pickles the waste. The advantage is that you can compost things you can't do in normal compost like meat. It doesn't reek the way you'd think it would. If you do it right, it just has a mild pickled smell. Plants are supposed to love it. The beneficial bacteria used in bokashi are also good for the soil flora.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We went put and got cheap breakfast at Ikea, along with a bunch of black-and-white stripey boxes to organize stuff into. Now the second load of laundry is in and it's time to throw more shit out and put the rest into the aforesaid boxes.

Spidra, I've never known anyone who did bokashi composting! Very cool. Do you have to add something to pickle it?

I'm now watching H50 and doing routine work stuff. I need to start writing evals and prepping for a meeting. Which reminds me, hivemind, I could use some info from anyone who's worked with troubled youth, basically backup that a 1-5 ratio is much more reasonable than 1-10.
