Just in time for the Indy 500, whiny race car drivers.

Oh Jesus - in a 1,500+ pound car you [on edit - you being whiney driver, not beloved buffista] are complaining that a lightweight is driving it?

If the weight of the driver makes that much difference, recruit a freaking little person. Hey can I drive in the Indy, and get all the people under my 220 pounds banned?

Always Anti-fascist!

OMG, JZ...you've made me picture "Throw that weakassed shit, meat." in a kid-voice. This seems wrong so I thought I'd blame you. You're a liberal Catholic...you're used to guilt that isn't yours after all.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Gordon should shave all his body hair and race naked. Maybe that'll help.

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

I'm embarassed to ask this, but has anyone seen After Sex with Brooke Shields and DB Sweeney? How does it end? I've seen as far as either Madsen and Sweeney or Pitillo and Schaech reconciling, which ever was later. TiVo cut off on a shot of Brooke Shields leaving the cafe -- what happened next?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have never even heard of that, ita.

I am up too late, but I had a great day. slept in, ran neighborhood errands, went to the Mall, bought 4 skirts at Macy's (really liking Sunny Leigh), had yummy chicken teriyaki, went to Target and hit the motherload of EVERYTHING. 4 area rugs, 3 more skirts, 3 dresses, 2 cardigans, an overcoat, a bunch of cards & gift bags, 5 plastic storage bins, a new set of sheets and a throw pillow that all match my duvet, a leather magazine holder, towels & washcloths, and some pink handled tools to replace the ones that got confiscated at the airport last week. Me trying to deal with all that was ridiculous, I had to get a "carry out" and get a cab home. I swear, Isaac Mizrahi getting the Target gig may be the best thing that ever happened to me. All his stuff fits me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The GF is quite well. Her Birthday was two days ago, and I gave her some scented candles she'd expressed interest in, and also got a her a book (Bridge of Birds by Barry Hughart) which I am reading to her. It's really a wonderful fantasy novel of "an ancient China that never was." I've read the whole series and highly recommend it to everyone. I wanted to get it and read it to her because I found it to be a beautiful and enchanting story, and I wanted to share that with her, because that's how she makes me feel.

Awww. That's quality schmoop, right there. Seriously. I love feeling that way.

Unfortunately, that combination is rarer than that damned woodpecker they just found.

Which is SO COOL!!! I followed the plight of the ivory-billed woodpecker, and I love a story with a happy ending. Well, I love a story with a happy ending that involves woodpeckers.

OMG, JZ...you've made me picture "Throw that weakassed shit, meat." in a kid-voice.

Make it 'talky meat' and I'm right there with you.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I just started off my Sunday morning with an AIM conversation with an Australian friend who told me about watching fruitbats. She was at an outdoor screening of Return of the King and when the Nazgul screamed -- in the very loud full stereo sound -- the fruitbats all took flight. Once she'd got over the heart attack, she laughed so hard she sprained something.

In other news, the headache I had all day yesterday has finally begun to recede, so the day is looking up!

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

Yay for less pain, Theodosia.

Love the fruitbat story.

I haven't had coffee yet, and the cat just puked again.
