love as related to dominoes
Mark edged closer to the table. "What does it mean, 'shoot the moon'?"
"It means he's gonna go for all the tricks."
"The whole kit and kaboodle," Jackson said.
"Kind of like getting married," Lonnie explained.
"How's that?" Mark asked.
"Well, say you find you a woman you just can't get enough of. You want her so bad you can't eat, can't sleep. Now you know this is a woman who's gonna keep your bed warm on cold nights, make you potato soup when you're sick. She's gonna believe you even when you're lying. Hell, she's the only person in the world who's gonna know what you wanted that you never got, and what you got that you never wanted. But you know for certain there's gonna be times when this woman's gonna make you miserable. She's gonna bitch if you forget your anniversary. She's gonna want to watch some crying movie on TV when there's a ball game you wanna see. She'll expect you to skip your poker game and keep her company when she's feeling blue. In other words, she's gonna be a pain in the ass some of the time. So, you gotta make a decision. What are you gonna do? Walk away from her? Or go for it all? Give her up? Or shoot the moon."

get 'em while they're hot
Okay, so they're not so hot anymore but I have 11 10 gmail invites, if there is actually someone out yonder who doesn't have one yet. Holler. ninafayeATgmailDOTcom
Excerpt from a Dear John letter.
You're such an emotional cripple that you'd rather roll along in your wheelchair and run over people and knock them away when they try to walk alongside (even if you've ASKED them to), give you a push or just ride along than get the fuck up out of that wheelchair and conduct your relationships in an even semi-functional fashion. I'd like to dump your ass out on the floor.

Hella cool!
I hope the tour comes this way! I also hope the one with Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt and the Boss heads this way. But, being that this is the State o' fucking Bush, we'll be lucky if they do. In other concert news, a friend of mine and I are supposed to be going to the Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas the 25th to see The Cramps. woohoo! First time away over night in FOUR years!

If it's not Scottish, it's CRAP!
Ok, so vanilla vodka isn't Scottish (or Schootish when one has had a few and is tipsy-typing) but it is pretty darn good when you mix it with Coke. And if one has had 5 or 6 of these concoctions and gets a craving for cookies, Scottish shortbread is awesome and easy to whip up (even at 1 am heh).
