Sadly anti-semitism and anti-arab racism both abound. For extra points sometimes in the same person.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Well, I had my first interview with the Michigan job at 3:20 today and got an email to schedule a follow up interview at 7:45. I think this means they liked me. And now to put together a presentation along the lines of--eLearning: How to Make it Not Suck.

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'm so sorry for your loss, Liese.

Thrive to spite them
Will and I went to MA and CT today, he had to drop a contract off to get signed and asked me if I wanted to tag along. I'm not supposed to but we've done it before.
This was near Springfield MA and I'd never been to either state before. We ended up in CT because I wanted to go to Cracker Barrell for lunch and Will said, we might as well go into CT. So we did, his lunch was good, mine was disappionting but they had Cheerwine! So I got some (Cheerwine is a NC based cherry soda).
While we were in MA we found this Buy and Sell Junk/Vintage place with these shipping containers. Lots of furniture and this really cool scrapbook/order book for office furniutre from the late 50s I kinda wanted but the guy wanted too much.
The most interesting pieces of funiture were these two dressers made of plastic that looked like castles. I'm sure the original set had more pieces - this is one piece [link] and this is the other [link] the shipping container was very narrow and crammed with furniture so it was hard to get a good picture.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We went to the cemetery's lantern lighting ceremony tonight, and my lantern honored Connie's hubby (among others). To my utter delight, on the table where there were markers and stickers to decorate the lanterns, I found an Avengers sticker. But let me be clear: it wasn't about me loving the Avengers; it was because -- although the mythology isn't exactly right -- the sticker has Thor, with Mjölnir, and that was the closest tribute I could get to Connie's hubby and his magnificent Viking nature.

Thor is upside down because I wanted Mjölnir as close to her hubby's name as possible.
