Yesssssss, Fred! I totally remember now! And my cat was in the UHaul, and when I let her out to use the litterbox she scurried under the seat to hide and when I tried to get her out she shredded my arms. So I met several of you for the first time while bleeding profusely.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

[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.

Interestingly, my brother lives in that area now. He's stationed in Maryland, his wife is from Baltimore.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
There's a pretty wooden double wine bottle carrier that holds a couple of toy clamshells perfectly. All...not hidden, and everything.
a friend got a Lost game from somewhere
Speaking of which, let me post that pic I found. It's up in Buffistas.

Skype interview went OK, I think. Not great.
I am rolling my eyes so hard at the facebook group for the town where I grew up. Someone posted, asking, "Where can I buy a good pair of stockings?" Some people commented with specific stores (which are generally the stores where you would buy stockings -- the department stores in the mall and stuff.) Someone else commented, "Any grocery store in America?" Original poster: "if you read my post I said "a good pair" not a cheap pair from the supermarket that people probably use for arts and crafts." This is a thing now? Stocking snobbery? And someone who is this much of a snob about stockings needs to ask an internet group in order to find out that you can buy them at Lord & Taylor?

How else will people know they're in the market for good stockings?
I think there's a lot of entertainment available in watching small town America on Facebook. All the town squabbles out where hte world can see.

I never understood buying expensive stockings. I've worn them before, but they get runs just as fast as the cheap ones when you're as remarkably ungraceful as I am.
Edit: Oh, and congrats on the good interview!

Thrive to spite them
People can be snobby about anything.
I was expecting to get my pants from Land's End today, they were out for delivery. Now they are at the post office. I don't know why, UPS delivers here all the time. Land's end has a Today only sale on pants so I was hoping to try those on and if I liked them order another pair. Phooey.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Because sometimes UPS does this bullshit thing where they deliver it as far as your city but then don't bring it to your house and instead take it to the post office, where, if your post office is anything like mine, it takes another 3 days to MAYBE get delivered. And the thing is, if you even have the option at checkout to select your method of delivery, when you pick UPS, they don't tell you that you really just chose the unholy incompetent union of the UPS and the local post office.

I ordered some frozen meals, which are being delivered by FedEx. They were sent from Los Angeles on Monday. I got a tracking update on Tuesday saying that the package had left the facility in Los Angeles, and then nothing since then. The website says "packages are shipped on Monday for guaranteed delivery by Friday." I'm waiting to see what happens.
