Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeppers. How hot is Ryan O'Reilly? And I just remembered to put holds on more Oz from the library, so maybe someday I'll even see the whole show.

Always Anti-fascist!

There's gonna be a Kensie movie? I'm happy, in a miserable way, as befits Lehaneness. Angie Gennaro= Marisa Tomei, imo.

And I totally used to eat cold hot dogs when I was a kid.

What is this "used to"? The turkey hot dogs I buy rarely get cooked.

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

Well, it seems clear that I'm a way better shot than I am a surfer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ooh, tell us - was it fun to shoot stuff?

eta: Revolver or semi-automatic?

The new baby Princess of Norway is named Leah, and HRH Mom fully admits that she was named after Princess Leia (though I wonder how long it took them to talk her into a more traditional spelling).

The mother of this baby Princess, who is also a Princess (sister of the Crown Prince Haakon and daughter of the King), is a bit of an oddball. She is kind of a Birkenstock princess, who shops at Wholefoods and had her baby at home. For that matter, the Crown Prince was a bit of a wild man as an undergraduate at Berkeley, and his wife was a party girl who had an illegitimate child before he married her. It's a different kind of royalty than the British tradition. The Brits call the Scandinavian royalty "Bicycle Kings" because they are likely to encounter their subjects while riding bicycles in the public parks. Not something that Elizabeth has ever done.

Anyway, even the Royal family must get a court order to give a child a nontraditional name in Norway. There's an approved list of names and Leia isn't on it. Hence the traditional spelling.

Pointing is easier than standing up, it seems, and just getting it right is quite the rush.

I got to shoot three guns -- .357, .22mm Ruger, and a Glock ... 19? Yeah, I think it was the 19. I have to say the revolver was the most satisfying shot, balancing power and recoil, but kind of a dumb gun. The 19 was very splodey, and I braced so much that it made the recoil worse than it needed to be.

It was both sobering and satisfying, and you get to take the target sheets home. So that sheet where I hit 10 times but only made 7 holes? I'm going to keep it for a little while.

And left-handed to boot!

That sounds like fun. I've always meant to go to a shooting range and trying it out.

The 19 was very splodey

Kinda like the antiaircraft gun Mal fires in Serenity (the episode)?
