[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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

OMG! I think I got work done today. I dunno how that happened. Of course, as I sit here, baking in the warm office, I realize, D'oh! I left the insulated shopping bags at home. And I know, once I step into that a/c'd heaven, I'm not leaving.

Thrive to spite them
Tying in the Dating Discussion with LotR Geekout, my first serious boyfriend was a HUGE HUGE LoTR fan. HUGE. He had the books, the poster, he could write Elvish (not sure about speaking it) and I gave him the unabridged book on tapes in the wooden crate thingy as a present.
I would love to know his reaction to the movies, but that will probably never happen.
I have a book he gave me where he wrote an inscription in Elvish (and then translated it), hopefully the book is packed away somewhere. It's a copy of The Book of the Dun Cow, which he loved for reasons I forget, but gave it to me as a present with a mushy inscription.

Oh, my, that Radcliffe boy is ADORABLE.

How charming and sweet. And Danielle wrote a nice article, good on her.

Wow, got tangled up in tolkien there for a bit.
omnis: the idea of a shop cat terrifies me. I mean, i know how many times my cats tangle themselves up in my feet and i don't generally walk around my flat carrying power tools. I shudder to think of the havoc a cat could wreak upon a scene shop. I suspect she is biding her time, waiting for the best possible time to strike. I recommend you stay far, far away from that place.
Ooooh, i just signed up for a book club! Now all i have to do is re-read _The Name of the Rose_ in two weeks. meep! Got through one chapter (i've read the book twice before) and all i can think is: "have i EVER read this before? because this all seems totally new!" It's like randomly flipping through the AEA rulebook during a boring rehearsal. I keep stumbling upon things that i SHOULD know and OUGHT to remember...but...total blank! Maybe it's a different translation?

Oh, good book. It's got an awful lot in it, I'm not surprised you don't remember it all. Eco's dense.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Very dense! But I liked The Name of the Rose, for the most part. Foucault's Pendulum, on the other hand, could have stood to lose 200 pages or so.

I love that book. Not the least because I was reading it on the train as I backpacked through Europe.
