Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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.

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

OK, a bit of googling tells me that I was only remembering it half right. The ruling is that, if a pregnant woman smells a food and gets a craving from that, then "you" must get the food for her, even if it's not kosher. It doesn't specify the husband in particular for that "you." (They believed that a pregnancy craving was a vital need, and that not eating a food you were craving could cause a miscarriage.)

When I was hanging out with some Orthodox gals I told them to avoide bacon because if they had it they could never go back.

I ate bacon as a kid, sometimes. Never really liked it that much.

I liked hot dogs and chicken.

I stopped reading Skinny Bitch, and now I'm watching An American Tail, which I loved when I was seven. The pogrom scene was too scary, though. Then, I mean. Not too scary now.

Painkillers are fun.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I love watching Hil on painkillers -- Still Hil, she just swoops a little more.

I o not know why but I wrote a todo list for Friday. I think it is because I got so little done Monday and Wednesday. But it is a litle scary .

There are no cats in America!

All bad things are cats, it seems. Pogroms, mafia, the British army in Ireland -- all cats.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I find myself with dueling earworms - "No Cats In America" and "There Is No Arizona".

Which is a hilarious song when you live there.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Who the hell aims for a 70 on their final? Or on any test?

Oh, hai. Like, take statistics as an example. It's very frustrating for me, and it's not like I'm not spending hours every week trying to solve the fraking questions.

Actually, it'll be more accurate to say that it's not that I'm aiming for 70 - I'm aiming and wishfully wanting it to be a 100 - but I'm realistic enough to hope for 70. Which is also the grade I have to get to pass this class.

Anyway, what I wanted to say, Hil, is that yes, this isn't fair - but who says life is? It's like astronaut vs. caveman - we're all cheering for astronaut, but it's the caveman that wins. Fair? No. According to everything, we should have made a progress. But that's (the imagined) reality. Though I liked the other offer about giving him few extra problems, too, but that's the humanitarian in me.
