Always Anti-fascist!

From a while back, my grandfather told my mother that, if you're defending yourself in a fight, there are no "below the belt" rules...fighting for your life(or not being violated) is not boxing...do what works.(that guy's insane.) ita...like the pain's not bad enough. Watching WH sing "The Greatest Love of All" made me sad yesterday...seemed sort of ironic.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Just ordered one. Couldn't resist -- it's a fabulous design.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Limited Edition Buffy and the Scoobies (done in the style of a sixties folk album) t-shirt up at TeeFury. Time's running out!

I'm very tempted, but I wish it came on a different color t-shirt.

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

That t is really tempting...

Hey, does anyone know if "rugged up" is a Britishism for "wrapped up"? And would someone have used that term (a lower class person) in the 1850's?

I'm seeing is as modern slang for Australia and Canada, but getting no love otherwise.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Stuck at the doctoe trying to get cleared to return to work. It feels like more trouble than it's worth at this moment.

Stuck at the doctoe

Is that a podiatrist?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Whoa. Being admitted to the hospital last night and getting the cocktails correctly meant I could come into the office today with nothing but normal Monday morning hesitation.

On my chair is a "WOW AWARD" for this weekend's deployment, a pin saying "I RADIATE PURE AWESOME" and...a $100 AmEx gift card.

(She called me MVP!)

I think I might wear the pin today...I'm toying with it...whoa.

Because books.

WEAR IT.

Wear the pin!

Art Crawl!!!

I think "rugged up" means wrapped up (warmly) because horse blankets in the UK and Australia are called rugs.
