Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

[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.

My parents are having a barbecue. I was supposed to go back to PA before this, but with the painkillers I'm taking for my wrist, driving isn't a good idea. So, party, with a bunch of people I don't really know. I said hi to the people I do know, and chatted a little bit with them, but I think I've had enough of people now.

Our wings are not tired.

I hope that you are able to relax and get some pain relief, Hil.

I ended up going to sleep shortly after I posted that. At first, I just came into the family room while most of the party was outside, but the woman that my parents hired to help out with the party stuff didn't really have anything to do then, so she kept trying to start conversations with me, and I couldn't think of a way out of that other than just saying that I was going to my room. So I did that, and then fell asleep. Just woke up in time for some ices for dessert. (So dinner was a couple pieces of bruschetta before the nap, and ices after. I probably should have something else. I think there's some pasta salad left.)

I hope you feel better, Hil.

I just now realized that the wedding I'm going to is next weekend and not two weeks away! Nothing I own fits right an d my body image demons are being very loud.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

BIDs are always lying, evil snits, but still not fun to have a big social event throw itself in front of you when you were expecting another week to prepare.

Anyone have favorite online retailers that have lots of brands and/or are cheap, besides Sierra Trading Post, Zappos/6pm, and Amazon?

Thanks. When I was planning to go to this wedding months ago, I was fully expecting to be buying a maternity dress and not caring if I had extra weight around the middle. It's crazy how quickly I allowed myself to plan the next year of my life completely around that pregnancy.

I suppose I can't call and say, "So sorry, but I didn't realize your wedding fell on the same day as the premiere of Doctor Who."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

thebookdepository.com, which offers free shipping worldwide (including Australia). It even promises to ship board games to Australia for free. Also fishpond.com.au, which also does free shipping and is currently my cheapest source for Doctor Who DVDs. Plus, prices update frequently, and I've captured many a bargain by timing my purchases.

I realise that last site may not be of much use to anyone else here.
