I am seeing Hedwig in Boston this summer for my birthday present from TCG!
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.
'Dirty Girls'
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.

The tickets were pricey but I'll be 40 this summer. The show is about one month before my birthday. So, I think I'll just start celebrating then!

It's a matinee, and I think we're going to try to go to the new Eataly in Boston after that.

Our wings are not tired.
That sounds like a wonderful day of celebration!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Why does it kind of hurt to realize your ex has moved on even when you have moved on?
Because he should still be pining over your absence and the majesty that is you.

You guys I just sent off my first real job estimate for someone who isn't a friend. BLARGH. Current boss reviewed it for me and gave me some suggestions. I feel like I'm asking too much (boss thinks I'm asking too little). BLARGH. Can I have some "accept the quote" ~ma?
This is always one of the hard parts of writing an estimate. I spend a lot of time helping my design students learn how to value their work.
Here is one thing I do to try to help them out. Look at what your weekly budget is, the amount you need to bring in to cover all of your expenses, then look at the amount of time the project you are estimate will take, including things like writing the estimate, getting supplies, etc. Take your weekly costs, divide them by 40, take that number and multiply it by the number of hours this project will take, then add in materials cost. That's the absolute bare minimum the project needs to bring in assuming you are gainfully employed for a 40 hour week. Make sure your estimate is that number plus a healthy margin (Doubling that number is quite fair) and you can have a good ballpark for a starting estimate charge.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
one of my friends is a ainter - - her mentor said the minimum charge for a painting should be enough so that you can paint 3 more

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Ugh. Still in pain. And I took my last painkiller, and can't get more until Saturday, I think. Maybe Friday. Pain sucks.
