Art Crawl!!!

I haven't been watching it -- because it's up against 24 which I MUST WATCH.

Did they bring back the pregnant college student ? Possibly less pregnant and more baby -having?

Sorry -- thought I was in Bitches.

Yeah right. I've never had PT, but I read Dan Savage.

It really was!

I'm pretty vanilla, when push comes to shove.

They did it to me when I had a busted ankle. I think it was to reduce swelling.

Yeah, it was part of my PT regimen, post-surgery.

I apologize if regimen is spelled wrong. I'm on two kinds of decongestant and no food.

They did bring back Madison on the day of Ephram's audition at Julliard. Sad making. But they are reforming Bright in a way that I'm totally down with. I loved Bright before but now Bright is The MAN!

There is a full moon on Thursday. I hope that doesn't mean that the next two days are going to be just as craptacular as today.

I apologize to the LAistas if it seemed that I was belittling the hazards of the natural environment there. The weather itself is pretty modest by the standards of most of the country, but I know that even modest weather can tip your idyllic but fragile environment into one natural disaster or another. It's a paradox of life there.

One depiction of the California paradise/disaster dynamic that I particularly like is the painting "Pool Party" by John Valadez. It's larger than life-size, and when you first look at it you focus on the prosperous, happy figures in the foreground. Then, almost before you can fully take in the scene, you are drawn into the raging, terrifying brush fire in the background. It's the essence of California, or America, or modern life, or something. It captures the same theme as DavidS standing next to the ocean and watching the Malibu hills burn. The painting is currently touring the country with the "Chicano Visions" art exhibit. The whole show is very good and worth seeing when it comes to your town.

So apparently, people from the other campus want to come here and schedule a meeting with three people on this campus (including me) who all work in different offices and have other work to do, in order to make sure our cover memos all look the same.

What? Your cover memos don't match!? Damn, it's like the terroists have already won.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The weather itself is pretty modest by the standards of most of the country

I think that "weather itself" doesn't mean much. Getting your annual rainfall in the first two weeks of the year is going to mess with many places -- everything's relative.
