Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Kristin, this one worked! And I love it. And the caption, too. I can't look at it without thinking "she's my size!".
I especially love each and every picture Buffistas posted of the couple of Saturdays I spent with you guys, because I couldn't take any pictures on my own on that day of the week.
I can't look at it without thinking "she's my size!".
Hee! I'm so glad you like it. And I was wearing heels in that picture, so I look a little taller. We both know I am not.
Okay, to work with me. Have a great day!
Cass, that line read like poetry, of the very honest and looking-inside kind. And then, the last line of your post did, too, for me at least. So I guess it is you and your words. I do hope things will be smoother for you as soon as possible. It looks like you're handling it so well.Nicest thing I have ever been told actually. I am trying to handle this with all of my sort of grace as the alternative.
And I was wearing heels in that picture, so I look a little taller. We both know I am not.
As I said, "my size!".
Cass, you know those things that if you're worried you're not doing them well, most chances are that you're doing them well? I think, from all the way across the ocean, that attempting to do things with grace (your sort or any other) probably means that you do.
Mornings to people. I have taken mega-ibuprofen and it has helped my sore back but not my headache. Isn't it supposed to work on both?
My happiest wedding dance opportunities have been dancing with middle-aged Colombian men, who salsa with elan and dignity. Although the younger Colombian men can turn cumbia into something quite undignified and great fun.
There were white men at this wedding, including the groom and his brothers, and a small number of the white men could dance just fine, but the groom and his brothers were not in that number. We reduced it down to one-two, one-two, and they still ended up at 3.5.
Philip Glass buys a loaf of bread.
Hee hee! I've read that. It cracked me up, even though as far as I can tell, I really do like Philip Glass.
Nilly, the tag is just part of an IM discussion I had with a very dear friend the other day. She told me that I might want to keep the whole discussion, but especially that thought. So I guess it is mine.
Cass, that's awesome. I thought it had to be a line from a novel, it was so good.
Cass, that line read like poetry, of the very honest and looking-inside kind.
Yes, exactly! It feels very Lorrie Moore-ish to me, but then again, she likes carrots. More the sentiment than the language, though.
I once saw Philip Glass on a bus from Halifax To Cape Breton. (I'm pretty sure it was him.) He was eating a bag of chips.

I think the decision for grace is, in itself, graceful.
Any unaccredited white people at my (still putative) wedding don't get to dance.
Hmph. I refuse to be damned for all the helpless white people. I don't flail on the dance floor.Oh, c'mon Hec. We people have, as a group, certainly earned that stereotype. You know it's true more often than not--at least where music from the rock-n-roll era to the present is concerned. The wrong-clapping-white-folks stereotype is also more true than false, particularly during music with back beat. In a crowd situation, it's disconcerting being one of the few people other than the musicians who have rhythm. One time at a church service with more modern music, Ben turned to me, quite alarmed, and asked, "Mommy, is everyone clapping wrong?" The numbers were so against the right-clappers, he started to doubt his own rhythm, which is excellent.

And to dip my toe further into the sterotype pool, other than my dad, and one great uncle, most of my favorite male dance partners are gay.
But eww. Do you really want to? I mean, she's cute and everything, but I honestly don't understand why she is so popular. I never got what was so special about Mary. And her dorky underpants dance didn't do much to endear her to me either. Even though I have nothing against her. Also, I think there are many prettier girls out there, if that's the route you want to go. But if your heart is set on her. Well, good luck in Canada.They do not have to go to Canada. They can come to Massachusetts. Do you people not watch the news?
Monday. bleagh.
I managed to get to work earlier than I did all last week. I should get a cash reward or a minion.
Nutty, I hope you feel better soon, medication or not.
So, we're talking about weddings (the skipper asked)? My roommate gets married in 5 weeks and a day. I'm very one-tracked-minded.
