I convinced them not too.
Yaaaay!
And now, I go back to sorting through the heaps of lost treasures that Pete has unearthed from boxes in the basement. Including photos of me from 10 years ago. Gosh, my hair was big.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I just got back from the Nanci Griffith concert at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. I feel a need to report to y'all that a perfect stranger came up to me at the end to ask if I was the person who fell in the koi pond at last year's concert. I think I'd rather be famous for something else.
Nanci Griffith sounded great, though.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Tal and I went for manicures today and my nails look gorgeous in a dark vampy-type color. Then we all went out for dinner to a nice Indian restaurant to celebrate my birthday early. We ended up skipping going out to play pool because it was getting late and Teacup Guy has to work early tomorrow. Teacup Guy is fast asleep now, and I have insomnia still.
{{{Teppy}}} Sinus infections suck so bad. Get lots of rest, drink lots of tea, and feel better.
Poor Owen and poor Owen's parents. He pouts better than any baby I have ever seen.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Seriously. Dude! That's so cool.
It was. Though also the parental mode for me was, "Shit! He's five feet off the ground (admittedly over double pads) hanging by his ankles!"
But it really was cool. Circus skills build so many positive values: trust your partner, trust your body, be strong, bounce back, overcome pain, have fun. Next week is either juggling or clowning.

Oh God I hate sinus infections. Health to you, Tep.
I want to go to Acrosports for summer camp!

You can stay at my house. Bring Mal and the hubby. We'd love to host you.
Fuck yeah! A's beat the White Sox. That's 8 straight. They're one under .500.

Yay, Emmett! That camp sounds very cool. My older nephew loves his summer camp so much that he cannot be bribed to miss a day for anything, not even for his grandparents. The promise of candy and movies and toys and fun only get the response of, "But, we make rockets and ride horses!"

Wow. Way to go, Emmett, with the mad circus skillz!
I'm actually very jealous. Not that I could do anything like that at this stage in the game, God knows, but I wish that I'd had the chance to develop said trust in other people, my own body, yada yada yada when wee. I've got an awful lot of NOT trusting to overcome by this point. In drama exercises, the people who can just close their eyes and fall off the stage in the conviction that we'll catch them? Utterly boggle my mind. I cannot do that. I mean, even if I were thin enough for squishing them flat not to be a valid concern.
...and somehow I've turned this into mememe, which was not my intent.
Go Team Emmett!

Part of me wants to say it's not that big a deal. He's like those 14 y.o. gymnast or tennis prodigies who don't know doubt because they've never felt it. But that's not exactly right. He did get his nose broken this year and came back. It's weird to think he's only 8 (almost 9 as of September). That's still so young. But the really cool thing? Is seeing all the other 8-9-10 y.o. kids doing circus skills. How to say it...uhm, they can do so much when they're challenged. Their capacity is so much greater than you think it should be for that age.
