There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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.

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

Nora, I hope you aren't too sore from your fall.

I need to get my former college (that I did not graduate from) to stop sending me mailings. I have called several times, but to no success. I get one of these seemingly harmless postcards, and, without fail, a few nights later I will wake up from an anxiety dream in which my jaw has been clenched so tightly that I ended up with a headache for the rest of the day and with my heart racing.

Always Anti-fascist!

I give my college the "nothing much" they gave me. Mike Love can suck it.

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

sj, send them a change of address form! That's what I did, to route their mail back to my mom's house. It worked for a few years, then they found me again.

I started getting this because when Mom sold her house last year, she sent in a change of address form to the post office for me; if I tried to send them back to Mom's current address, I don't think stepdad would be happy about it.

I finally sat down to work on some much avoided financial paperwork today and got so overwhelmed, I'm now watching an episode of the West Wing.

In Season 1 Episode 22, President Bartlet is planning to watch a women's softball game...one of the teams mentioned is my undergrad alma mater.

1) How did such an obscure school get that kind of notice?

2) Why do I feel compelled to share this with you?

See above: overwhelm, I guess.

Somebody in the writer's room went there.

Heh. No doubt.

University of the Pacific, represent.

I say this with zero filial loyalty. Yet, hey, familiar.

I was supposed to go to a wake tonight, but I have been ordered by my family not to go because apparently my hometown is a big mess that has not been plowed sufficiently. The plan was to grab dinner with my family after the wake. So, instead of cooking, I am cashing in a Christmas gift from TCG which was an IOU for dinner and a margarita at our local Mexican restaurant.

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

I just took a look at the new dogs listed on the shelter website. One of them is a 115-pound Mastiff who is afraid of other dogs. I think this is practically the definition of "not the dog for me."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
