We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I really like some of it (when it smells like wet desert) and loathe some others. But there's a wet sage-y note in some of their stuff that I love.

Smells are fairly divisive though. I can't stand the smell of baby powder scented deodorants, for instance. Thankfully, I rarely notice it on other people though because it's one popular scent.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

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

This is weird. Some police officers -- state troopers, I think -- just walked into my backyard, then they saw me in the window, and turned around and walked back out. Now they're standing across the street talking, and there are two police cars parked there with lights on.

And now they're gone. Odd.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Bizarre, Hil.

We were watching movies with friends last night and in the duration of Meet the Parents I went from feeling fine to not being able to breathe through my nose. I haven't been able to sleep more than 30 minutes without waking up to blow my nose. Me no likey.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Best gag reflex suppressor I know is to hold your breath as full and long as you can. The diaphragm is wired up to the same system as the gag (enteric nervous system) so it tends to put a hold on things like hiccups and gagging.

The hold-your-thumb-in-your-left-fist could be a variation of some chi/accupressure method. I suspect it works by misdirecting your conscious attention from your throat, which may tip the balance against feeling sick.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How does this help with most of the scenarios in which a gag reflex is going to go wild?

The article flip flops back and forward between "women" and "this woman." Sure, she doesn't like it rough, but that doesn't mean "centered around female pleasure and devoid of anything on the more violent side" is a valid base assertion, does it?

a whole lot of soft lighting, Indian chanting, and an aftershave model giving a lady with shiny, perfectly tousled hair a back massage

Yeah, that gets me going every time. Especially those Indians.

Admittedly, she didn't stick through that one, and came as a result of working through a MMMMMF scene and getting off on it. And then felt dirty about it.

I'm not seeing a unifying message here, other than she likes what she like. And that she doesn't like much.

So, there you go. Porn doesn't really work for her. No reason for it to have to.

If what gets you off makes you feel dirty and you don't like that feeling, you should possibly apply some introspection along with the diaper creme.

UNrelately, I bought the jasmine pearls from the cheaper of the two tea stores. She underserved, and they only sell them in predetermined little packets with is against the principle of expensive tea sales.

Having tasted the jasmine dragon pearls, I do like them, but they aren't as tasty as the expensive ones. So the key is surgical strikes in Teavania. Don't let them sell me shit. Merely buy what I want.

Got a late start since I didn't have my usual market partners and it was thundering when I'd normally go. I need to either go to the pool or go get some plants, but I'm being cuddle attacked by a Loki, so it is hard to get the motivation to leave the house....

Despite the weather, it was pretty busy. Minded the dog-biscuit booth so neighbor could take a bathroom break (I never manage to make a sale, but nothing gets stolen... Oh, and I'm lending him my Firefly set. He has always wanted to see it.
