VERy nice skirt - I love how the skulls spiral in
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Know what's nice about a sister who lives with you and she's (currently) unemployed?
She cleans your house.
I lurves my sister.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
beth, your yard is lovely. And, that is a LOT of wood chips. Percy is, of course, adorable. I love the pic of him in the box.
Cute skirt, Jilli!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
This week is going to be better than last week. This is my decree to The Universe. To prove this theory, I am wearing my new skully skirt, because it makes me very happy.
Jilli, my co-worker wants to know if you're going to wear that skirt to the premiere of The Corpse Bride.

Probably, yes. With a bat-wing hem frock coat.

Jilli, great skirt.
I have met in my life exactly one person who looked good with blue hair, and that's Jess. Most people should avoid it.

Beth, your yard is perfect for a wedding! It looked lovely, particularly the wood chips.
I love all the gold cranes.

If I only had a brain...
I clipped one streak of bright-blue hair into mine last week; got a lot of compliments. And then I unclipped it, and all was non-committy.

move out and draw fire
Stunningly enough, a consensus seems to be forming around the copper-red. Which I was leaning towards, as it's easier to get that color to actually happen, and actually stay.
I really like the blue as well, but I don't know if I can pull it off.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's interesting that so far only a set-up guy and a #5 starter have been busted for 'roids, though the diminishing performances of a number of pitchers there's a lot of whispering about who was using and who wasn't. It actually makes more sense for pitchers to use performance-enhancers, especially chemicals that reduce inflammation and speed recovery time. Sadly, the media just focuses on hitters.
I definitely think that steroids were very common amongst relief pitchers.
You're right that pitching styles have changed quite a bit. It seems like only a few of the older power pitchers (Pedro, Schilling, Clemens) can do that cruising thing where they'll reach back for an extra couple mph in the 7th or 8th inning. You don't see Clemens going up the ladder like he used to in his youth. Huston Street was awesome in a showdown with Vlad in their last series, repeatedly power pitching right on his hands until he sawed off Vlad's bat. Brass balls, babyeee.
