The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I found a new breakfast place. As usual, breakfast is STILL my favorite out to eat meal.

Ooh, where? Me too, even though it doesn't work for my favorite type of food.

My friend Cara's dress was similar to your first one, msbelle, except the skirt was all feathers instead of tulle.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Sleeves are nice. Not universally necessary, but I tend to go with them, or at least with straps. My boobular containment facility demands the extra fabric.

what do people mean when they say "modern"?

Usually, I mean "these days", or "recently" (for incredibly wide variation of either term). I've never meant earlier than 1900, but I usually mean since about 1950. In a formal literary context, I mean about 1920-1950, in contrast to post-modern art.

Not surprised about the NHL. Eric Wilbur (NESN Sports Blog) had a whole plan for how he would contract the NHL to 20 teams and restructure the whole shebang. Also, he suggested that the Garden aka FleetCenter may in the future be called GoldenPalace.com Center, if eBay is to be believed. This would be why I persist in calling in the Garden.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

My mom had one of those writeups when she married dad. Of course, it being the south alongside descriptions of the swiss-dotted bridesmaids dresses and mom's mantillia, there was the recounting of Dad's football exploits.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

you hid it in a *sports* post!

What you are witnessing is my freaky ambivalence. Yay! Pretties! Yikes! Don'twannagush! Yay! Sports! Eep!

Once again, I'm not so sure I'm an actual girl.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hungry. Need caffeine and new job. Also need to return 8 bazillion phone calls. Blargh.

If I only had a brain...

Beverly is me.

"Venise lace" used to drive me up the wall, though. If a dress didn't have "Valenciennes lace", it had "Venise lace". The bride chose a fingertip-length illusion veil and was given in marriage by her father.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
