Safe journey, Consuela! Say hello to Edoras for me!
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Hey, remember when we were talking about complimenting people on weight loss?
I'm commenting on the link: first, I love Overheardinnewyork. Second I am completely unsurprised that someone would say that in Chelsea.

Our wings are not tired.
Have a wonderful trip Consuela! Bring back lots of pictures and stories for the jealous masses.
Happy Birthday Anne! I hope that you are having a not horribly stressful good visit with your family.

Happy Birthday, Anne!!!
I assume that "No chicken dance, no electric slide, no macarena, no YMCA, no Club Med song" would be taken as a given.
You're forgetting Cotton Eyed Joe.
I can't say that I have wedding song preferences. I mean, I wouldn't like for ALL of those songs to be played, but I wouldn't mind if a couple were, mostly because they make me laugh. (And trust me, after working in a catering hall for two years, I have definitely heard all of them an infinite number of times.) And little kids enjoy them, and there's generally a few little kids in attendance. But again, I know I have zero music street cred, and I'd imagine any guy I married might have something to say about the song list. Figuring out a father-daughter, mother-son dance would be tricky, though, since it seems like feelings could be hurt in the deciding of whom I would dance with for that song. So I'd probably just avoid it, unless the mother-son pair really wanted it.

I like Cotton-Eyed Joe. And YMCA. But if I never hear Electric Slide, the Chicken Dance, or the Macarena again, I'll be a happy woman.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
first, I love Overheardinnewyork. Second I am completely unsurprised that someone would say that in Chelsea.
Right on. To both items.

Hil made me really want waffles. And the conversation last night made me really want coffee. And now I want a big huge brunch, and the first order of business that I have today is to go to the grocery store, so I should probably eat before then, huh?
I could easily walk over to Starbucks and get a coffee this morning. And maybe a cinnamon twist, and then walk over to the grocery store. Unless someone feels like getting together for a big brunch-closer-to-lunch?

My friend and her father did Joy to the World for the bridal dance. It was really cool, and different from the usual.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday Anne!
Consuela, have fun in the Land of the Long White Cloud!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What about YMCA? Another obligatory wedding atrocity of my youth.
ATROCITY???? I love that song, and the dance.
Of course, since I fully intend to do the macarena at my putative wedding, it's possible I've just admitted myself right out of the arena of reason.
The Electric Slide makes me smile fondly, but from a distance, since I've never actually had the pleasure of being on the dance floor for it.
I need to go reheat last night's Thai snapper. That was some good shit. But teaching two classes, taking one, and then talking trash for an hour -- really tiring. I wish I could call someone to reheat my food and bring it to me.
