My grandfather was finally able to have all his medical tests today. He passed the kidney stones, and everything else is ok. I'm very relieved.
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

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.

That's why I don't understand the urge to replicate his feat.
"The moment their arms spun freely in our air, they were doomed -- for Man has earned his right to hold this planet against all comers, by virtue of occasionally producing someone totally batshit insane."
Ooh, I just learned two weeks ago that when using quotation marks, while in Hebrew you'll exclude the period/whatever mark that's in the end of the sentence outside of the quotation marks, you don't do the same in English. Regarding that, I have only one question: WTF? I understand different grammar rules. I understand different languages. I do not understand these crazy assed monkey rules. No, really.

Shir, American usage is inside the quotation marks, British is outside. (Personally, I think I prefer outside.)

I shall not scream. I shall not scream. I shall not scream.
Thanks, Emily. Now, who do I have to kill to unify all those senseless rules? (Unless there's a good reason for them, which I can't see at the moment...)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Someone talk me out of flying to LA in two weeks for the weekend. Just found a price for $117, nonstop, roundtrip.

“Not dead yet!”
I am back home. The excursion, she was a success-- there were many books to be had at B&N and a nummy lunch (mesquite grilled chicken salad). All told, it was about three hours and at the end of it, I was very happy to get back home.
Now I'm tucked in bed in my jammies, with a bottle of green tea, the laptop, new books, and a Labrador on my feet.
A nap may be in my immediate future as well.
(Speed bumps still hurt...)
