So absinthe is pretty good. Went with a slotted spoon to drip ice water onto the sugar cube. It did turn cloudy but not very green. The flavor wasn't as complex as I expected but it tasted surprisingly strong considering the low alcohol content. I think I'm ready to try it in mixed drinks. The aftertaste reminded me a bit of an old fashioned.
Yes! Ohmigod! Someone's blondie bear's a twenty-question genius!

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
You should hear my department, and how often we swear at authors.
I should make an anthology of all the "Worst Author Evar!" emails my colleagues and I have exchanged.

Lucid is one of the milder absinthes. If you're ever at a place that offers a selection, you might want to try Mata Hari or St. George.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Daniel Radcliffe likes pubic hair.
OK that's officially TMI and yet I find it oddly charming that a hairy guy--who played a guy named Harry no less!--likes a bit of hair on a girl.

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.
The other agent is trying to use my disability as a reason for us to come up on the price of the house, because it happens to be a ranch.
Errr, I kinda want to run off copies of fair housing and ADA regulations, roll 'em really tightly, and beat some sense into that other agent.
I would totally watch The Red Pen of Death. I wouldn't want to be a character in it, though, because of my propensity to put extra commas in things (beta reader for my monster fic and I went a few rounds, and not about the Oxford variety).

Th exact quote (except for my name) just for the record. TCG is not happy. "I understand that sj has special needs and the value of what the property can do for her is important."

The value of what my FIST can do to your FACE is also important. [ETA: Hah! askye and I are on the exact same page!]
Seriously though--people pick houses for reasons all the time, they have X number of kids so they want Y bedrooms, or need a garage, or need a fenced backyard for the dogs, or whatever. Unless your house is SERIOUSLY unique (theirs isn't, right? It's just the best one you've found), that's not a justification.

Yeah, that is some ignorant bullshit.
