I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

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.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Good gravy, Toddson, I'm sorry, that is some major suckage. Here's to some pain relief and just getting through.

Always Anti-fascist!

Smonster, I'm a Bust subscriber with no room to keep things in my place...would you like it if I sent you some? It's reusing them, right? (And I've totally been that broke, not that my shit's opulent now.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I am prepared - I have a bag of frozen peas to use as an ice pack; it may not do anything to help my poor toe heal, but it numbs it for a while.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Connie, that is awful about your grandmother's rings.

Aims, all good -ma to your friend. How terrible.

Toddson, ugh. I hope you feel better soon!

Zen, I tried! But that necklace is very pretty!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Man, the fun with utilities never stops. I just called the Water Board to check on the investigation and they credited us about $170 for two months. That leaves us with a balance of $286 to pay, and I'm delinquent. Did I get a revised bill? Fuck no. From talking to other people, we probably only used $50 of water over those two months. I better get back ALL my security deposit from that douchenozzle. I'd like to ask for more but doubt I'd get anything.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I dunno what to say, smonster. Can we send Toddson's vampire ducks to get after Soon To Be Ex-Landlord? That would be a good use of vampire ducks.

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

I'm feeling well enough today that I was able to walk downtown (past yhe court tv satellite trucks) to get thai food for lunch.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Are you responsible for the water bill at your new place, smonster? If not, I'd be pretty tempted to send in $50 and blow off the rest.

(caution: probably not the most responsible move.)

I'm not, Nora, but I suspect that might come back to haunt me if I ever need to open an account with them again.

I just got a dressing down from my boss over email for not being able to do the work today I said I'd do. Work which, I'd like to note, he had taken off my plate and I offered to take back to make the best of a bad situation, ie, being stuck here. I did my damnedest to minimize the amount of time I'd have to miss for this shitshow, and I have other work that I can do which IS on my plate and is also pretty fucking urgent. And I'd told him I'd do it over the weekend. I think he's letting his stress level bleed over into how he treats me. That's a pretty human thing to do, but *I* got a talking to about doing that vey thing to my crew last week, so I'm a little sensitive.

Getting scolded really triggers a defensive response in me. I'm resisting the urge to react, and will wait a while to respond.

For now I'll see if my neighbor is home and can come imitate a responsible adult for the time it takes me to go home and find the fucking thumb drive.
