Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

[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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Fake id?

eta: slightly less illegal approach: many places don't card anyone working on an event, so if she helps set up....ok, yeah, that would still suck for her having to show up early....it's how my underage friend and i got into the first convergence after we were sold tickets with no warning that the venue was not all ages.

I can't have anything to do with that at all. Teacher.

Coffee: I really need to stop tempting myself. It's way too expensive. But all-inclusive. But too expensive. But...but...complicated with people and stuff. Sigh.

“Not dead yet!”

Deep breaths, honey. You live in one of the most amazing cities in the world. I'm sure there are plenty of really cool places that won't leave you bankrupt. Remember, those of us who attend, are gonna go because we want to see you and Drew glowing with happiness.

Yikes. I'm looking at the place in SF where the math conference will be in January. The cheaper hotels in the area are around $220 a night. I think that the conference usually gets a special rate somewhere. I hope it's a really good rate.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

The stupidest thing I ever did for love is try to read Infinite Jest. Not that it's bad, just confusing(and pretty hard on fandom, iirc) and gigantic. And then the guy "didn't think of me that way" I should have beaten him to death with it, honestly.

Priceline, baybee! Or, you know, stay with friends. But Priceline should get you under $100.

I think this omelet is the first time I've ever written "yuck" next to a recipe in a cookbook. Usually, the worst I get to is "don't bother."

I swear there was something else I wanted to put in this post, but now I can't remember it.

Good idea. But it's not until January, so I guess I've got time to figure it out.

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

The upside is that Lewis shooed me out of the room and took on clean up duty because did I mention, the poor kid didn't make it to the bathroom.

Now for my 5,615 mention of the coffee ground trick:

When someone boots, baring some sort of white expensive carpet, cover it in coffee grounds. The grounds both absorb the mess and kill the smell.
