Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

[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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Holy crap! Babyfrass! Welcome to the world, wee Buffista-to-be!

All my fellow singletons have my sympathy. Especially the crazy cat ladies whose eccentricities are growing more marked by the day - SO with you there, peeps.

our washer/dryer is stacked in a closet, so no love for me when ND is out of town.

...this does strike me as rather hilarious, within the context of the conversation. Your poor closeted washer/dryer! It should be brave, it should venture out of the closet and boogie on down to a little Gloria Gaynor, damn it! Washer/Dryer/Sextoy PRIDE, dammit!

Meanwhile, today has been - man, I can't even. Today has been one of those days where I REALLY REALLY REALLY feel like I'm the central character in a sitcom, stumbling from one moment of OMGWTF into the next, flailing and wide-eyed and incredulous.

I haven't the heart to write it all down. But I'm hoping tomorrow will be VERY MUCH BETTER. Meanwhile, my day had the silver lining of cupcakes. So that's good.

Kristin - wishing you good things, love.

Also, Teppy is my hero. ijs. And Tom Scola is made of win.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I chuckled as well, but I know that when Kristin is in the midst of struggling with ADD she has a very hard time joking about it. Chalk it up to me be extra defensive of her on what what had already been a stressful day. Didn't mean to over react.

Nah, it's a good point to make. I've been in that place where I can sit on the couch for literally 48 hours struggling with myself and utterly unable to pick up the thing I desperately need to be working on. Up all night and crying because I just need to do it and I simply can't.

It's a very different thing from my more usual putting-off-of-important-stuff-because-I-don't-like-doing-it-well-past-the-point-of-reason schtick. Which also sucks, but in a difference universe from the former.

Me? What did I do? (I have a fierce migraine, so all I can remember of recent posts is Babyfras and ADD; I have no idea what I might have said recently that is hero-esque.)

And Tom Scola is made of win.

Always true.

Teppy is my hero, too.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yay Babyfras!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

OTOH, Baby! Welcome, wee one, to the Family Fras and the larger family of Buffistas! There're a lot of people who've been waiting for your debut, foremost among them a pretty darn nice set of parents.

Teppy is my hero, too.

My migraine-addled brain is honored but still confused.

I gotta talk to my doctor about a better migraine drug than the weak-ass one I take. IIRC, my doctor didn't want to try Imitrex and other triptans unless we *had* to, because of some scary side effect -- maybe heart stuff? So what I take is a fairly older drug that's a combination of tylenol, chloral hydrate, and isometheptene (which constricts blood vessels). It's kind of crap, but often works if I take it early enough.

This time, I did not take it early enough. Sometimes I can't tell if it's sinus or migraine. I chose sinus yesterday. I chose poorly.

It's like the elephant kicking my face is also stabbing me with an ice pick. That's one talented elephant.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I experimentally had only one cup of coffee this morning.

No headache. First time in weeks.

So now my question is, WTF, coffee? I thought we had a good thing going here! Why are you breaking up with me????

“Not dead yet!”

Thanks sj. The ibu's helping, so hopefully, this is just a mild bug. The only problem right now is I'm hungry and just not ambitious enough to anything about it.
