Timelies all!
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
We are about to head to the Metro to catch a train to the Nationals game. Whee!
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Ooh. Good plan.

Maybe like a Wal-Mart, Matt? I'm going to run out to Target later today, so I'll take a look-see as to what they've got on hand around here.
I tried the local one last night, and while they have folding upright chairs and heavy, solid form chaise lounges, they didn't have any of the folding sort that will adjust to fully horizontal. So far the closest thing I've seen is a $40 hammock w/ frame from Target, but I'm hoping I can find something that won't require hours of assembly. We'll see when I head out in a few.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'm not a baseball fan, but that sounds like a good way to spend a birthday.
I am hoping for pictures from ND's birthday.
my cat is running aroundthe house meowing at us. for no reason that I can tell. he probbably wants to go out and play percy of the jungle. however, running into the bathroom does not give me a clear idea of what he truely wants.

Our wings are not tired.
Happy Birthday Sheryl
May the light always find you on a dreary day.
When you need to be home, may you find your way.
May you always have courage to take a chance
And never find frogs in your underpants.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, Sheryl!

Hammocks are nice. Every year I say I'm going to get one for the backyard....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Happy birthday, Sheryl!
I'm downloading mp3's of educational songs from the 1950's, including the original "Why Does The Sun Shine?"
I just wish the guy who encoded them had put each album in a zip file, or at least its own folder, so I wouldn't have to download them one at a time.

Skippy skippy to share in the dread that was 80s fashion. Here are a few of my highlights:
- White calf-high leather boots with fringe up the back decorated with cutouts and silver studs (oy)
- A matching big ass white leather belt with silver studs (even then my friends knew it was bad - they called it my Wonder Woman belt)
- White peg-leg pants with a black and gray paisley print
- Jeans with yellow paisley-printed fabric sewn into the knees and the up-turned cuffs at the bottom (I had these on layaway and saved and saved to buy them - I loved them so much)
- Spiral perm with teased bangs (but not those hair sprayed to death monstrosities some had)
- I didn't have this but my cousin likes to remind me of my desire to own a gold lame (forgive me, I don't know how to make the ' appear) button-up shirt just like Janet Jackson wore in the What Have You Done for Me Lately video for the first day of 10th grade

I'm feeling grateful my teens were in the 60's.
GC, I'd love to see pictures.
