Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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.

Interior design question. Is it cheesey or good design to have similar light fixtures around condo? I'm wanting an overhead light in bedroom and living room, and replace ugly chandelier in dining room. Wanting something simple, not ugly, not too eye catchy, but not boring. Browsing thru Internet, and came upon these examples, in no particular order of preference: [link]

Good idea? Bad idea? Beginner idea? Thoughts?

I like the latter two best, o_a. How unified will everything else be? A smaller place cn look larger if you keep one basic decorating theme going. But if you're changing colors and furniture styles throughout, having the same light fixtures everywhere might look like you hit a sale a little bit hard.

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

so what is your brother going to do? will the wedding be delayed?

I don't know. They've already done a lot of the planning for October, but his father-in-law says that if there's any chance of salvaging the relationship, they should try.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm up and dressed in mu work out clothes, but we are having a seriously freaky thunderstorm outside so I am goong to wait a bit before heading to the gym.

P-C, how long until your brother finishes his degree? His future in-laws sound like wonderfully understanding people.

He'll finish next May.

They're good people, yeah.

I'm waffling between "compromise good" and "give them and inch and they'll take a mile." Perhaps Parents of Cow will be happy that their concerns are addressed, perhaps they'll go "Hm, what else can we ask for?"

You're a brave man to throw this all out for semi-public consumption, Polter.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I don't know. They've already done a lot of the planning for October, but his father-in-law says that if there's any chance of salvaging the relationship, they should try.

I get that, but I'm of a mind that any capitulation to this kind of ridiculous blackmail is just going to embolden your parents to do it even more.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

o_a, I try to keep fixtures and such the same or similar within rooms, but not throughout my whole house. That seems too restrictive to me.

I don't think I've ever gone into anyone's house and thought, "Hm, those lights are just like the ones in the living room."
