Right thing. Hard thing, but right thing.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
We just had the most fantastic visit to the playground. While we walked around a miniature village, I saw something fall out of the roof of a covered bench. Turns out it was a potter wasp attacking a huntsman spider! (Here's a picture of the wasp: [link] Top pic is a pretty good representation, though our specimen was may a bit closer to yellow than orange.) It had just about subdued the spider (took longer than I expected for the venom to paralyse it) and was starting to drage it off when we had to go. I've seen this kind of behaviour many times on nature programs, of course, but this was the first time I'd witnessed it in person.
Ryan was pretty fascinated too, though ultimately less enthused than his daddy.

While I get how that would be fascinating, my hindbrain is shrieking right now. Aren't huntsman spiders huge? (I can't believe I'm asking that. DO NOT GIVE ME PICTURES OR LINKS. Just tell me yes or no.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
DRINKING WITH NEIGHBORS IS AWESOME. the end. (esp. when Nora is a neighbor)

This wasn't a terribly large one, but still maybe 4 cm across with the legs extended. The wasp was bigger, getting towards 3 cm long I'd say. (Nonetheless, it would have certainly triggered an arachnophobe alert.)

Yep, Pete's is totally my happy place. Except for how the jukebox played Billy Joel's "The Stranger" instead of Prince's "Darlin Nikki".

WHAT. How can anyone have lived through the 80s and not seen the glory that is Purple Rain?!?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have never seen Purple Rain either. I don't know how it happened. I have no excuse.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We are second on the list. we call in on Sunday to see if she's ours. SUCH a sweetie. We were really impressed with the Pasadena Shelter and we will go back there to find a pup even if this one doesn't get to come home with us.
