Also, I'm freaking out a bit (in both a good and a bad way) about a thingy that is happening tomorrow. Please send some unspecified ~ma my way tomorrow at 8AM.

[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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
A friend who works at Comedy Central was just saying something about having to bleep out "queef" and "fishsticks" on something that was going up on their website. But I'd never heard about a dirty connation of "fishsticks" before. All I can find (on Urban Dictionary) is a stupid joke (that was then repeated on South Park) where "fishstick" = fish penis.
Ha! Some guy in line was describing this episode to me yesterday; it sounded pretty funny. The whole thing was mocking Kanye West. Apparently, Cartman and Timmy make up a joke that goes like this:
"Do you like fishsticks?"
"Yeah."
"Do you like fishsticks in your mouth?"
"Yeah."
"You're a gay fish!"
Somehow it gets told to Kanye West. And then Kanye West resolutely declares that he is not, in fact, a gay fish.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I mean, I've been a starry-eyed Randhead. I do understand the appeal. I just think it takes more faith in humanity than I'm capable of to think it would ever work.
This is how I feel about unadultrated Marxism OR unadultrated capitalism - we're not evolved enough for either to work the way they are supposed to.

“Not dead yet!”
Ugh. I think my first week of taking prenatal vitamins (the only way I've ever been able to tolerate taking iron--there's irony for you) is starting to wear on my stomach. I've been vaguely nauseous all day.
The green tea isn't doing a lot to settle things down-- I may have to break out the ginger tea.

Thingy ~ma !!!
I wonder what I'd think today...
Probably that it is verrrry boring and that all the characters (so far, I've only managed the first hundred or so pages) are unlikeable.

Happy Birthday, Drew!!!
vw, let me know if you need an alibi. I had some people around me talking about similar issues at Easter, and it talk all my restraint not to say, "Hello! Standing right here!"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I skipped The Foutainhead and read the much shorter Anthem. Same philosophy in surly digest form.
Happy birthday, ND!

Yes that's what I did in junior high. I have no choice now. It's book club. It's the law!
Next month's pick is Our Band Could Be Your Life though. That should be fun.
