But tonight I noticed a LOT of folks eating dinner out on their porches and just generally hanging out and chatting. I know from a couple of them it was a deliberate show.

That's a really good idea. I mean, the nude pervert in the alley freaked me out, but that's a one-time kind of thing/person. If people were getting carjacked in this neighborhood, I would be off the wall with LET'S TAKE CARE OF THIS.

Couple more for you there, Jesse. I got your back.

Allyson, this Top Chef is adorable. GAIL is all aflutter over Horowitz.

It's the 90s

Yeah, Buffy is in there....

DAWN!!! New Skulduggery Pleasant! READ IT so I can geeble with you! There's A Thing. And then holy shit, Another Thing. And something that actually made me close the book and flap my hands for a minute.

SERIOUSLY.

Erik wants to sit out on his porch at the top of the street with his grandaddy's shotgun. His wife has persuaded him otherwise. Which I think is wise.

OK, tomorrow is officially Hot Guy theme day on teh Good Stuff.

And now the next two nights are claimed by neighbors: pickup and dinner with one tomorrow, pizza and booze with the nextdoor ones on Friday. NICE!

You rang???

I am conflicted. The most risque picture, I think, of me on Flickr is me wearing a full vintage slip. I've had complimenting comments about it that didn't make me feel uncomfortable, and I had been faved by someone that didn't bother me. I just went and checked out the other favourites of the second person to fave it (who also friended me), and the other pics are of some damned masculine men in full slips, and a couple women from ads.

WHY AM I THE ONLY AMATEUR WOMAN? And the men? Not attractive. And we know how I feel about men in lingerie.

I love this painting: [link]
