Does anyone know how long it takes to renew a US passport at the minute? A friend wanted to visit from New York, but he's just realised his passport is out of date.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Dude. We just had an earthquake.
Apparently, it was felt in Cincinnati, too. Not by me, as I could sleep through an elephant tap-dancing on the bed while the Village People sang "Macho Man."
But when I got up, the first question The Boy asked me was, "Were you awake at 4:30?"
Me: "Uh, NO."
Him: "There was an earthquake."
[pause]
Me: "Did you think I *caused* it?"
Him: "What?"
Me: "Well, you asked if I was awake then, like I was up and trying to open the Hellmouth or something."
[pause]
Him: "Well, are you?"
I told him that if any demons show up at his work (they recycle scrap metal; his work, that is, not the demons, although maybe the demons do) and ask for a talisman, to NOT GIVE IT TO THEM.
(We watched "Doomed" earlier this week, so we're sensitive to Hellmouth-open-y things.)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
But what if they are VERY MEAN AND SCARY demons? What if they threaten his life? Or yours?
Mind you, the kind of demons that go to the trouble of recycling scrap metal probably eat only organic food and are careful about not using plastic bags and things. They probably are not so much with the Hellmouth-opening.

Cyster ~ma to you, Erin.
vw, good luck with a trip to the Mass Health offices. (has image in head of vw taking Cyster with her to the Mass Health offices, and Cyster growling at asshats)
GC, I'm glad you see you and your professor understand each other!
This is going to be one of those Fridays where the work day actually last 80 hours instead of 8, isn't it? The weather is beautiful and the students have abandoned the place because of yesterday's Pope Day holiday.

God, I love Erin. LOVE HER. Also, good luck!
And... no wait, I'm not sure I have anything else to say. Except! Did I mention that I have curry coconut ice cream?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Laughing now from the Tim Conway elephant story.
Sox, hope the little one is less sick and cranky now; it's supposed to be very warm so at least you can get out.
Erin, best wishes for a successful surgery; if you could postpone it, that might alleviate some of the financial hit ... although I know doctors can be very, um, set in their scheduling ways.
And you know what? if you did take Cyster/Little Orphan Annie and put it in a jar with eyes and a wig ... it'd be almost as creepy as that THING Nicole has from JZ.
