And more (also, I made the discovery that I've been COMMed way more than I ought to be, because I am NOT that funny):

shrift: All my dresses are things like black lycra with speedracer stripes, animal print miniskirts, brown suede... well, it would suffice to say that I own no dresses that are appropriate for running along the beach with my mother in a feminine hygiene product commercial.

Tom S:

Now I'm imagining Middle Earth PSAs: Hi, Frodo here. I'm here to tell you that owning the One Ring is not cool. Just Say No to the One Ring.

This is your brain. This is your brain after looking into the Palantir. Any questions?

PMM: I have a theory that any children we have will be short, round little things with a good deal of hair and large eyes. Fat lemurs, really.

* * * * *

msbelle: I think we should all celebrate and exemplify the passive worker.

juliana: I would prefer not to.

Sue: Spike now has the soul of the Master Thespian.

And finally....

Hecubus: Formless entities need love too.

Amych: Sure, but do they really need nipples?

PMM: Sure! Where else would the tequila come from?

Sophia: If I die, and it turns out that God has tequila-spouting nipples, I will expire again from laughter. Then again, I will probably never know, as I may be going straight to hell just for saying that.

PMM: G-d is perfection. Of course G-d's nipples spout 100% blue agave tequila, and G-d's tears dry instantly to sharp, perfect crystals of salt. And G-d sweats lime.

cashmere: congratulations, this has converted this agnostic. praise the lord.

Hey Steph. What's the name of the big amusement park that is near Cincinnati? King's Island?

Cedar Point? I know we used to drive to it from Michigan, but I was never paying attention. Could be near Cincy.

No. Cedar Point is in Sandusky. We used to go there relatively frequently only because it was close.

The one in Cincinnati was much more of a slog and therefore we went rarely. It was, obviously, way more special because of it.

This is neat. I bailed on fireworks, but my west-facing, completely unobstructed apartment is allowing me to watch the fireworks in - well, lets say roughly all of the western suburbs. It's like someone set up a row of sparklers across the entire horizon.

Kat, it is King's Island.

Thanks. I couldn't remember and kept thinking King's Dominion but I think that must be somewhere in Virginia.

ita! I am so sad that I missed the men's final. I got to see like the first serve, but I wasn't at home and had to follow plans made by others.

I thought that the women's final was also amazing.

I was somewhat sad that the 2nd men's semi was rained out on Friday because I figured that whoever was meeting Federer on Sunday needed that rest.

I figured that whoever was meeting Federer on Sunday needed that rest.

Wouldna helped, I swear. It might have made the match longer, but Roger was large and in charge.

TiVo saved my tennis-watching ass. Made me paranoid, though, that someone was going to spoil me before I could run home and watch.

Still, better than missing.

How was the Venus/Lindsey match, ita? It sounded epic.
