Oh! Today is the Nilly-Q!
I'll have you know I can't get enough of that word, cause it reminds me of the distilled, deionized water we use in the lab, which is Milli-Q.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
We're having more fun.
As in, fun again.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Huzzah for the Nilly Tour pics! I love the logo. I love that there is a logo.
Everyone looks to be having such a good time. It makes me smile to see it.
And the sheer mass of foaminess at the Cheesecake Factory must have threatened to create an Event Horizon. Wow.

What is even happening?
JZ, your photos are fantastic! Thank you so much.
What was Nilly's version of too much candy? I couldn't make out what kind of container she was holding out. Seeing Emmett and Nilly in the same picture, is the photographic equivalent of the Buffistas greatest hits.

The pictures are great, JZ, thanks for linking. Everyone's having fun at the Nilly-Q right now. Excellent.

Re: Monday night, I think the time to arrive is between 7 and 7:30. Or later, if you like, but not earlier...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
What was Nilly's version of too much candy?
A big red tub of little mini-versions of all the most popular candy bars in Israel. Little chocolate-dipped waffle crispies, little bitty Kit Kats, little squares of milk chocolate heaven with teeny cows on them, and a couple of others I haven't yet sampled.
New arrivals: Karl, Eli (author of the Spoiler Prayer) and her DH, Sparky and her DH, Katerina B (with her DH arriving soon), Suela, Java, and Deena. And, most importantly, we now have beer.

Not javachik
And have had homemade blueberry pie, courtesy of consuela. (It behooves one to keep an eye on any dessert made by consuela, she who is famous for her baking, and be early in line for it.)
It's lovely in SF, not too hot but not too cold either (always a risk). Lots of good conversation and two little boys running in and out and through to the front yard area with their bouncy ball and baseball mitts. One spots Hec in the shubbery periodically, rousting an errant ball.
Deena has a marble-topped table covered with treasures gleaned from her and Katerina Bee's long walk on Dillon Beach this morning: sea bird feather, some dried feather boa kelp, cool rocks, some beach glass, lots of shells. Beverly and Katerina are helping her organize it into categories.
Think I'll go have another Sierra Nevada pale ale and join the conversation about surfing at Maverick's Beach.
