I am now playing with the thought of going out to a cafe with a laptop, and Skyping with the two of you.
Not sure how other people in my immediate environment will take it, though.
I'm a big girl. Just tell me.

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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
well, when you wrote that, I was still in bed... so... it would have been a completely different type of skype.

Finished the Skype with Seska about 40 minutes ago.
She was in bed, too.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
A friend of mine from HS is pretty involved in the poetry scene locally (Indy) and beyond. He's been having a few conversations about sexism, boundaries, that kind of thing, and I offered to give him some links to similar conversations and issue in the fannish subculture. Any suggestions for required reading? I've got the ReaderCon incident already.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
In further news on Operation Buying Scrappy a Fancy Dress, I went to Nordstrom Rack and Marshalls yesterday and actually found some possibilities. I was NOT expecting this, as I am not at the size I feel most comfortable and I never wear dresses, so I went home feeling quite relieved. The event is on October 28, so I have a bit more shopping time before I have to buy something. Next stop, Macy's.

My car stopped running today. On a road through a prison, one of those roads with "Emergency Stopping Only" and "Do Not Pick Up Hitchhikers" signs, just stopped. I didn't have my cell phone with me. I had just passed a construction site, so I walked back there, and borrowed a phone from one of the construction guys and called AAA. The tow truck came and towed my car to the dealership. (By the way, when AAA says they have free towing, they mean they have free towing for 4 miles, and charge $4 a mile after that.) After leaving the car at the dealership service center for four hours, they let me know what the problem was: my fuel gauge was stuck. It was telling me that I had a bit under a quarter of a tank of gas, when I actually had no gas at all.

I always fill my tank when it's between a quarter and a half, I don't care how much Hubby tells me I don't have to.

Well that sucks, Hil. I'm glad it was nothing worse, though.

I am definitely starting to do this now.

Thrive to spite them
Hil I'm glad it was just the gas, even though there was a walk and AAA is a bit deceptive.
I'm home from Maine. There's road construction and electric pole repairs going out of Mount Desert Island (where Bar Harbor is located) traffic was backed up for miles. I think it took us over an hour to 2 miles. I didn't take a picture but it was epic.
Other than that everything was great. We stayed at two motor courts and had some good food and some overpriced food. Yesterday was our full day in Acadia National Park and it was overcast and foggy but still pretty and this morning we went back and went up Cadillac Mountain when it was clear and saw the view.
I thought Steph quite a bit because a local brewery had their Pumpkinhead ale out Although it's not gluten free so that might be a big tease. And it was everywhere.I think there were 2 pumpkin beers/ales around.
I'd love to go back but Will wants to explore other parts. But I loved Maine I thought it was great. The ocean!!!
