Buffy ,'End of Days'
[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.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who read this and tried to figure out what fic genre "forward slash" was.
Needless to say, you're not. (I was speculating it was something Regency or Victorian, and that there must be an alternate genre called something like "reticent slash".)
Skipping and skimming because I heard about this on NPR's Fresh Air on the way home:

Needless to say, I would read both of these. Or, umm, have. Henry James, I'm looking directly at you!
The IT office is located near my desk and one of the IT guys was laughing at me while I was doing this and told me "welcome to my world."
Indeed.
That reminds me
A few years ago when I was working at a faily large internet commerce firm, the company put out a whole slew of things, stickers, buttons, placards, cups, etc. with the company's internal website URL. They used backslashes: http: internal.website.com
ETA: Screw you auto-fixing board scripting!
I brought it up to those responsible, and they said It worked in IE when they typed it in, so it must be right.
I mentioned there were other browsers not so tolerant of mistakes, they shrugged.
I'm looking at flights into the Bay Area for early summer and I'm trying to decide between SFO and OAK. Having lived there, you would think it would be an easy choice. The SFO flights cost a touch less, but it looks like the rental cars cost a bunch more a SFO than at OAK. I think. I hate being confused.
This is me waving pom-poms for Aims and Joe's non-smoking, and for Jilli. And for Bitches in corsets.
Much sanity~ma for those attempting tech support for their families.
It was in the lower 80s here today, oh, how wonderful that felt. First time in months I have actually enjoyed the temperature.
White chocolate cheesecake in the oven. I made it with gingersnaps in the crust instead of graham crackers, for a little extra spice. I'm going to top it with homemade lime curd and take it to a dinner party on Saturday.
It's in the oven so late because I forgot to get the gingersnaps, so had to make a store run tonight. I was amused that the guy in front of me buying two items - tampons and sanitary napkins. We made eye contact and I smiled. he just shrugged and said "hey, gotta do what you gotta do"
I've never really understood why that should be mortifying.Anyone who's old enough to know what they are knows they're not yours, guys.
OMG, what is it about small boys and their bits, this week? Have just given detention to one of my kids for getting his bits out in the middle of the CORRIDOR! They are way too old to not know that's inappropriate!

NO! KEEP IT SECRET! KEEP IT SAFE!
this weekend will be interesting. It appears the playwrights wants to pay for rental of top of the line wireless microphones for the new musical. So, we get to install, sus them out, and wire up the actors in all new mics on the last day of rehearsal. And it won't solve the problems of the over-resonating room. All of this assumes they will get here in time for the Saturday rehearsal. :: sigh ::
