I like both snails and oysters.

Well nobody came close on yesterday's quote ("Scent of a Woman") but today's is for the classic fans out there.

Snail update: I won't say the war is over, but it seems that the heavy casualties the little slimy bastards have taken has broken their spirit. They cowered in the vinca and didn't dare to stick out so much as an eye stalk out. I patrolled the perimeter while watering the plants this morning and saw only corpses, or at least their shells, littering the battlefield. I allowed myself a triumphant laugh before marching back into the house.

Frappuccinos are the drinks of the gods.

I'm starting to get that caffeine monkey on my back again, so it may be time to rid myself of all caffeinated beverages. I'll keep some regular Coke on hand for guests, but the habit of purchasing something for work has got to end. I've rid myself of the addiction before, I can do it again. Cold turkey is the only way, today's shot, but I can start tomorrow.

I also climbed on the scale yesterday and was pleasantly surprised for the first time in a long time. I think the two belly dance classes a week, stress of the move, and general show of willpower recently has been effective. I lost about 4 of the 5 pounds I absolutely had to, and now if I can take off 5 more I'll be happy. I mean really happy, for the first time in a long time. I want to be able to look in the mirror and be pleased again. I used to, back about 5 years ago, but not really since then.

Oh I lost some weight last year when things were at their worst, hey, depression'll do that to you, but I wasn't in a place mentally or emotionally where I could enjoy it. Now, taking my time, changing my lifestyle in positive ways, and seeing some positive results is fantastic. I'm starting to like myself again, for the first time in a long time. Who knows, a few months from now I may even look in the mirror and like what I see. Not that I'm going to start thinking I'm the Goddess' gift to mankind or anything, but not feeling disgusted with myself is a really good first step.

Not that I mean to say life is perfect, but I'll take my pleasure where I can and try to focus more on the good things than the bad ones these days. Particularly the bad ones I can't control. It just makes more sense to me.

Um. I think it's a Marilyn Monroe line. Anyway.
Some of us already think you're a gift of the Goddess. And we really should thank her more.
Not sure when we'll be back yet, but probably Sunday afternoon.

You're very cold on the quote, let me give you the context, it has nothing to do with what the guy likes to eat, rather that he likes to play for both teams. And that's all the hint you get }:)

And thank you dear, but please don't encourage my head to swell at all, I think my humility is one of my better qualities *G*

And have a lovely time at NERO!

Oh oh oh! It's... um. Sir Larry, in Spartacus!
(And remind me to thank Her for your very attractive modesty....)

Yay, another gold star for you! My goodness, any more of them and you'll need another house to store them all in. It seems I must make my quotes far more obscure henceforth }:)

Okay, @set me=embarressed

Scent of a Woman is on *my* shelf. I, uh, claim ignorance and the fact that I've only actually seen the movie twice! Yeah, that's it!

Damn fine movie, though. I should watch it again.

I think there should be a Al Pacino Craft Night. Scent and maybe Looking for Richard (especially if the latter ever comes out on DVD already!)

Yes, I was right, it *was* on your shelf, go me! And I'm always up for Al Pacino, go ahead, twist my arm. Oooh, and I've been wanting to see "Looking for Richard" but just never have so I think it'd make a great Craft Night movie.

But the next one must be a double feature, "Kama Sutra" and "Salome's Last Dance"! }:)

I saw Looking for Richard, uh, most be more than five years ago, now, since I was still at my last job. I watched it with Gail (whom

esmerel knows, and we remember fondly). It's definitely a documentary, but a very interesting one if you're into Shakespeare, Richard III and lots and lots of famous actors.

But the next one must be a double feature, "Kama Sutra" and "Salome's Last Dance"! }:)

Augh! Are you trying to kill us by drowning us in lakes of drool?! :)

Can you think of a better way to go? Well, ok, perhaps an exertion-induced anneurism while making sweet love to Vin Diesel...

making sweet love to Vin Diesel

I think putting "sweet" to modify making love next to Vin Diesel ought to be some kind of crime.

You don't make "sweet love" to that man. You sweat like a nasty pig and fuck like horny weasels.

You don't make "sweet love" to that man. You sweat like a nasty pig and fuck like horny weasels.

And with those words, millions all around the world begin to wonder where they can get in line for that one...

Um, is there something you'd like to share with us all, Mark?

Not really, no.

(It's all the damn estrogen in this thread, I tell you.)

((That's my story and I'm sticking to it.))

Well if there's any man in the world who could make a straight man consider playing for the other team it's Vin. He's just so absolutely yummy...

This is a bad time to go 'Who?', right?

Eep! Get this woman a copy of Pitch Black, stat!

My silly little slasher's brain is in such a Friday mood. I just didn't need those images, really I didn't.

I will not write Vin/Mark slash.
I will not write Vin/Mark slash.
I will not write Vin/Mark slash...

Mark's statement was awfully...*descriptive* to be wholly speculative, wasn't it? :)

Perhaps we should post a poll? Who thinks Mark lusts after Vin Diesel? }:)

Speak of the devil...guess who's on the Entertainment Weekly I just got in the mail? I'll give you a hint...it's not Mark.

How much would I have to bribe you with to do it? Really...}:)

I think I'd need a bodyguard. My aikido isn't good enough to take on both Mark and Vin when they realize I have spied upon their hot sweaty nasty lovefest.

Ooops. Was that my outside voice?

My discretion could be relied upon completely, I promise...

Temptress!

(...and you know I love it!)

It's a good thing I'm already bi, then, because he pretty much does nothing for me.
Maybe it's the whole sociopath thing....

I like both snails *and* oysters.

Really, now?... ;)

It's from Spartacus. Possibly the most famous line form the movie, and a classic of the bi genre.

Not that I'm going to start thinking I'm the Goddess' gift to mankind or anything

And, on that one, I'd say you aleady have *are* said gift, any why limit it to merely mankind?

1) Absolutely right, and one of my all time favorites, made even more delightful by the lovely Larry Olivier.

2) Flatterer }:)

Well, you know... I was talking to someone, and she was telling me how much of a pleasure it was watching you dance...

Like I said, it's not just mankind...

Watching *me* dance? I think you must have gotten me confused with someone else }:) But as a happy bi I'm delighted to change the "mankind" to "humanity", how's that? *G*

I admit that I completely agreed with her about your dancing...

And, "humanity" would work quite well, thank you... I haven't asked the cats yet, but they probably wouldn't care unless you were dancing with tuna...

Wasn't that one of the alternate titles to "Waterworld"?
