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

Punishingly Intricate

You've looked very cute in the pictures you have shared so far.

Fact!!

Thrive to spite them

This morning I discovered the swim trunks I got for M didn't fit. I had bought a size too big, I thought, and replaced it with a size smaller...which is still too big. He can wear them but they are precarious on his hips.

He isnt upset by it but it's frustrating. Today will be his first day on the beach...he has to take a muscle relaxer after being in my car for so long and one pill at the lowest dose makes him sleepy and groggy for 2 days. But a half a dose doesn't help his back

A cold front came through so it's kind of chilly but it means we can be on the beach in the afternoon with it not being oppressively hot.

I wouldn't worry about flattering too much but I want to take pictures with people and look cute.

This is, as you know, the thread for boob tape...

Strap the ladies together over the comfy bra with a strip of duct tape and you're good to go.

Thrive to spite them

I got a bra from Walmart and it's fairly comfortable and it fits better than the ones that are a bit too big since I lost weight.

I also bought one of those bagged salad kits because I like them and I didn't eat it in the first 2 days I had it. So even though it says it's good for a few more days it was all wilted and icky. I hate that. I know better than to let it sit for more than 2 days. It was southwest style so I saved the dressing and we're making nachos one night so I can use that as another sauce.

I'm pretty freaked out by this set accident.

If people were following the protocols that have been effectively in place for the last nearly-thirty years it shouldn't have been possible.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

I don't know a ton about production, but even I know enough to say YUP, you are 100% right. I'm honestly wondering if it wasn't an accident. (I'm not blaming Alec Baldwin and saying this was premeditated on his part. Not at all. But he isn't the only person on that set with access to that prop gun.)

In short, the actor and the weapons master are the people who touch it and it's on an active set or is locked up. Actors don't take it to lunch, don't take it to the bathroom, don't lie it down on any not-in-scene surface. If actors go on any sort of break they check it back in with the weapons master. Actors use it in the scene and the weapons master locks it up. Any work a weapons master does on it is in a controlled location.

Our wings are not tired.

It is horrifying. I'm sure we will find out what went wrong, but mostly I can't and don't want, to imagine what it would be like to accidentally kill someone.

And then if the gun is actually DRAWN there's a whole speech (and you'll hear it about sixty times) where you're told what the gun is, how it will be used, what it can and cannot do... and then its offered to anyone who wants to see it and shine the flashlight through the blocked barrel personally. This happens repeatedly.
