Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[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.

Yay remembering in the nick of time, John!

Esse, that sucks.

I went to meet my friend for trivia, and he'd invited a couple friends, but then they bailed, and then it was the same trivia host as a couple weeks ago who was AWFUL and SLOW (kept interrupting herself and talked suuuuuuper slow, so it took forever). We made it to the second round, decided we didn't know enough of the answers, and gave up. Went for a long walk, so that at least felt good, even if it probably didn't burn off the basket of tater tots.

Just saw Hamilton in Chicago and had ALLLLLLL THE FEEEEEEEELS. Now I have a crying headache and I'm sad that it's over.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Nora, I'm so glad you got to go! But also jealous!

Our wings are not tired.

but I appear to have agreed to become the house coordinator for one of the three houses I work at as a Direct Support Professional.

Awesome! I hope they appreciate you with an increase in compensation commensurate with the increase in responsibilities.

I managed to miss a Scottish dinner with Diana Gabaldon

Oh, I would be kicking walls! Sorry. Good to hear you remembered in time, John.

Nora! Yay for spectacular entertainment, boo for joy hangover.

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.

Awesome! I hope they appreciate you with an increase in compensation commensurate with the increase in responsibilities.

About $4.40 an hour more.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

WS, congrats!

I bought the ticket ages ago and had it pinned to my corkboard.

I almost missed seeing John Hodgman interview John Cleese this way. Eldest Younger Sister and I had bought the tickets months in advance and made no further plans to meet up at the theatre until about a hour before the show when we both looked at our calendars and said OH FUCK SEE YOU SOON.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Congratulations, WS!

I thought I had dealt with my shit from my childhood (and teens and 20s and and and), but apparently I have not.

Well, you dealt with them for the earlier stages of your life, now you're dealing with how they affect this stage.

Boo, personal growth, boo!!! Repression and dysfunction and eating my feelings is so much easier!

That's great, Andi! Appreciation is nice, cash nicer.

Absolutely everything in my life is in my calendar. I have had a horrible memory all my life, therefore good organizational skills. My calendar reminds me of all the usual business and pleasure appointments, birthdays and such, but also to take my vitamins, water the plants, everything. Computers changed my life. See also my reliance and the red squiggly line.
