Oh, Steph, that is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There's a commercial playing on the radio telling people to take steps to prevent car theft. The step they're highlighting is don't leave your keys in the ignition of a parked car. This is a serious enough problem that the state of Maryland has put money into making radio commercials about it?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
So I guess the new hot-button issue is cuts to the stupid tax?

Sorry sj. Working. I got home for dinner break & couldn't find the game anywhere.
Steph, beautiful story.
The new mics sound good. Too bad the audience is dead quiet.

Ok, I have to admit, the blooming plants and trees out here are GORGEOUS. But, damn, I do wish they'd go get a room for their sex. My allergies are gonna kill me.

sssh! I escaped! At intermission. I am home. Of course, I'm researching work stuff. BUT! I'm not in a cold theater watching the show again, so SCORE!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The Golden Girls was one of my favorite shows as a kid.
And Joss' dad was a writer on it.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
So, last week my former flatmate asked me what Prague is like, as she was applying for a job there.
Then last night she posts a Facebook Status thing saying "R thinks that Prague is a very elegant place to be." Unsurprisingly, I comment along the lines of "Isn't it lovely? So are you there for the interview, then? Or did you get the job already? Hey, drink a glass of Pilsner Urquell for me!" And another mutual acquaintance also posts "Oh, wow! You got the interview, then?"
And now she's messaged us both, thus:
thank you for your lovely comments. i would like to explain why i have deleted it. i haven't told many people at school about my plans and although the important people (like you) know about it, they don't. i'm in enough trouble at school at the mo without adding to it with gossip in the staffroom. so apologies for deleting your comment, i appreciate your well wishes.
love you,
R
And I'm just staring at the screen, blinking, going: "Discretion: you're doing it wrong."

Another vote for only two wisdom teeth at a time. It helps to be able to chew on *one* side of your mouth afterwards :) I got the local + nitro combination also and it was fantastic. I remember the little mask thing, and then being at my dad's house afterwards, with nothing at all in between even though i'm told i was rather entertaining on the drive after, esp with the drooling.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Okay, the numbers being bandied about in regards to the flu in Mexico are alarming, if true.
I was hearing 1400 people have contracted it, with quotes of 20 dead, and maybe 81 dead.
By my quick calculations that's either a 70 to 1 (approx) survival rate or in the case of 80, a 17-to 1 rate.
Scary numbers. No wonder Mexico City is in lockdown.
