Fuckety fuck fuck fuck!

I just read in lj that one of my dance group friends got attacked(bashed, more likely) in his own neighborhood. Glenn is a nice guy who happens to prefer wearing skirts/dresses and high heels. He went out of his house last night to investigate some noises and a group of assholes pulled up in their car(they were not from his neighborhood) and attacked him.(stole the flash from his camera, to add insult to injury) Fucking bastards...

Oh geez, Sheryl, that's terrible. The fear of anything different leads to such truly horrible behavior sometimes.

What Robin said.

Oh, Sheryl, that's awful! What is wrong with people?

You know, I have a really lovely day planned. I am going to have brunch with Beth B and Matt at their coffee shop, which promises to feature good food and good company. After brunch I am heading to the San Leandro Costco to see if they have the printer I want (the Redwood City Costco did not). After buying the printer, some burnable CDs, and possibly a 45 pound bag of M&Ms, I'll drive to Oakland, to meet up with Sparky1 to see the BabyPenguin Movie. I'm told there may also be ice cream afterwards.

That sounds like a lot, but it is all leisurely paced, and I'll still have time to do some house stuff this afternoon.

Yay.

Enjoy, Lee!

That sounds blissful, every second of it.

After the movie, you could always go for some gelato.

Today so far is coffee, Roger Rabbit in the living room, church a bit later (I'm feeling bad and lazy, but I'm also scheduled to be a reader), and then possibly taking my friend Charlotte and her son ice-skating at Yerba Buena while Hec putters about here and Emmett visits with the neighbor's son and dog. At some point before the end of the day there will also be laundry, or we are all doooomed.

It's not bad, but I must admit it's no Beth'n'Matt/Sparky1/penguin movie/ice cream. You totally win!

Skateboarder Clears Great Wall of China

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Daredevil skateboarder Danny Way rolled down a massive ramp at nearly 50 mph and jumped across the Great Wall of China on Saturday, becoming the first person to clear the wall without motorized aid, an event sponsor said.

Way botched the landing on his first attempt but then successfully completed the jump across the 61-foot gap four times, adding 360 degree spins on his last three tries, sponsor Quiksilver, Inc. said.

DH and I are going to see the penguin movie today, and then probably check out some of the Bastille Day happenings over on Smith Street. (The largest Petanque tournament in the US, right at my front door!)

What time are you going to see the penguin movie?

Not sure yet -- BAM has a 1 and a 2:50.
