A friend came to the battalion fasching party (pre-lent foofaraw. big deal in Germany) as a fallen angel. She was eight months pregnant at the time, face of a Raphael cherub, hair like pale spun silk. She blacked one eye with makeup and pulled her coathanger wire and tinsel halo crooked and wore a sheet "robe". Adorable.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

(Because I felt it needed to be in a separate post, and I'm invoking the FPC) Dear 2011, FUCK OFF. Babycat Vlad made some truly piteous yowls, threw up, ran downstairs, and did the same thing about 15 minutes later. This, of course, reminded Pete of Tzepesh, and he is freaked out that there is something seriously wrong with Vlad.
So let's see, this week has had a HUGE stressful thing on Monday night, incredibly hard, painful therapy on Wednesday, the stress-triggered eczema making me want to claw my skin off all week, Pete on a super-tight, stressful deadline, and then a puking kitten.
I am all out of cope. But that doesn't matter, because I still have to soldier on and get stuff done.

Vlad is snoozing on the couch, with Erzabet next to him. I'm pretty sure he's okay, but I don't know. And I don't have my usual optimistic certainty about things being okay anymore. That's been pretty much beaten out of me this year.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'd like to participate in whatever plan we settle on for Deena.
Steph, that's a fabulous costume.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I hope Vlad is okay.
Frankie peed on the bed while napping. I guess it's a good thing I put off the laundromat? Heading there now... a neighbor friend is going to meet me there with her laundry.
Don't think I'm going to make it to the pumpkin carving party, it's in Metairie and starts in an hour. Foo.

{{{Jilli}}} Much ~ma that it is nothing serious with Vlad.
Trader Joe's has been achieved. Defrosted lobster sauce is simmering on the stove, pasta water is boiling, and TCG is making a salad. Time to fall in front of the TV and start the very important task of watching everything we missed while we were away.
