definitely. I am annoyed that my Senator's office disconnected me today. Probably honest mistake(and switchboard is squirrelly) But all anybody ever can offer is "Keep calling," and then you do and it blows.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Apparently the magic words to make classrooms become available when they weren't available before are, "Who should I contact at the university legal department or the faculty union?"

Yesterday I was just a skin suit filled with rage and sadness, and a brain full of numb sludge.
Oh, I know that one and don't wish it on anyone, particularly someone I love as much as you!
Hil, I am as equally grateful it was resolved as I am angered at what it takes to make things right.

Felt like such a loser last night that most of my old journal entries from a year and a half ago sound totally current...do I not get anywhere at all?! But my dental check-up was better...

anybody got a killer chili recipe? My oven is on the fritz and my shitty management company doesn't think they can fix it in time for my annual Super Bowl party. Or ever. So I have to come up with a main dish that isn't the lasagna I was planning or uses my oven. Feh.

I make pretty good chili, but I don't really have a recipe. More like throw in some of this and that.

Daisy Jane! Good to see you. How's life?
I make chili pretty often, but it is usually a cleaning the fridge out type event. Basic variety:
1 pound meaty stuff (ground beef, turkey, soy crumbles)
Sauteed onions/garlic and bell pepper(s)
maybe 3 cans diced tomatoes
maybe 3 cans beans (black, red, white, whatevs)
Jalapenos because I like the heat
Frozen corn, or any other veggies you like
Couple tbls chili powder - tbl or cumin, sometimes oregano

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I make a decent chili, but mine is adapted from someone else here (either Steph or Deena or Windsparrow, I think). I'm a picky eater with texture issues though, so no "chunks" in mine (no onions, peppers, tomatoes other than sauce, etc.) beyond the chunks of meat and the beans. I could give you mine as a base, I suppose, to help you scale and you could tweak accordingly. But hopefully somebody else here has a recipe they feel more strongly about!
