[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.

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

Now tagless for your comfort.
I, for one, will gladly welcome our new, cephalopod overlords.

Outside mag did a feature story on the Humboldt Squid that's pretty scary. [link]
Reading the newspaper article makes me want to read the Outside article again. The San Diegan divers are saying many of the squid just seemed curious. eta: Now I'm wondering if the Outside people were poking them or chumming them or what. memfault.
I'd be in camp of unwilling to go in the water. I once snorkled into shallow reef waters off I think it was Carricou or Mayreau and a cuttlefish zipped by under me by about 6 inches. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. They're about as big as keyboard wrist pad. Beautiful, too, irridescent as their edges flutter. It's enough to make me think about the idea of the sea kitten thing, though never enough to get to to stop eating those puppies.

I need input from the Stunthusband, other LotR geeks and freaks and jewelry mavens.
Emmett has become obsessed with getting replicas of the Three Elven Rings. I'm seeing some dodgy looking near-misses out there. Which ones are the best? (most accurate to the movie/prettiest)

In later years he had a uvulectomy...as did the last boyfriend. I've always been curious to know if that really works. Had no experience of either of them post-snip, so could not ask.
I have a friend that had that -- along with some other stuff. LONG Recovery -- verdict the sinus scrapping -- should have been done years ago. the throat stuff painful. However, no more snoreing and sleep, beautiful sleep. Except when her DH or the bulldog snore too loudly. Her Dh says it is pretty amazing.
I been reading about the squid all day.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm in a lot of pain tonight, but I'm really sick of the way the painkillers make me feel. Trying to decide whether to try just Tylenol and Aleve tonight, or go for the stronger stuff.

Do you need to do anything tomorrow? Do have anything to distract you if you aren't sleeping?

Nothing I need to do tomorrow. There's some math work that I ought to do, and I'd planned to go grocery shopping, but if I end up doing the math on Sunday and going to 7-11 to buy some frozen burritos, it's no big deal.

Oh, and I just bought a few magazines, and I have the internet and the TV for distraction.
