It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

I am in Seattle (working from the mothership) and may I just say jetlag can bite me. Do not like.

Jetlag is terrible. But hey, if you're awake at 6pm and don't have plans, you should totally come to the University Bookstore and see me interview Cherie Priest!

I'm afraid that, this weekend, the winner in the battle between Steph and the Time Zone Change

Wait, what? When am I supposed to switch the clock? Again! I'm reading conflicting things via Google.

Sorry -- I meant because I'm traveling from Ohio to California this weekend and the jet lag is gonna get me. We don't do anything to the clock until November.

Jilli, that is so cool!

My outfit for the Hindu wedding ceremony arrived, and it is pretty! Tim's arrived, too, but I didn't open his, but I predict it will look awesome. I'm super annoyed that my dress for the Lutheran ceremony isn't going to make it on time, since apparently eShakti has fallen into a black hole.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

But hey, if you're awake at 6pm and don't have plans, you should totally come to the University Bookstore and see me interview Cherie Priest!

Yay! That will be an excellent evening.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Very cool Atropa!

Looking forward to pics, Tep!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oooh!! I have a team happy hour that ends at 6 in SLU, but depending on how traffic looks I can maybe duck out early and come to this?

Would like to see the dress again, Steph.

I, too, have an order coming from eshakti, but it's just a couple of every day dresses I wanted for summer. Still waiting eagerly but not anxiously.

That's cool, Atropa!

This magnificent dress. I love that print -- it's not a William Morris print, but it reminds me of one, just oversized.

We have some concerts in June, and I could wear it to those, if it ever actually gets delivered.

But I have other dresses I can wear to the wedding -- either this one or this one (the pink one is a little more beachy and the black one is a little more festive).

Punishingly Intricate

Oh yeah eshakti has been having some problems for a year or more.

Either of those other dresses are pretty! I especially like the darker one.
