Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What did you end up wearing, Allyson?

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

Is SM McHottie?

No -- Sean Maher.

What is even happening?

What's McHottie's real name, you know, whatever one he mistakenly uses, rather than McHottie?

DB Woodside.

Betsy -- I just took migraine meds myself (fourth time this week, sadly) and I'm not sure if something was wrong with the pill, since it seemed smaller than usual (blister pack you basically have to lick the quick-dissolving pill out of). And I can't find the names of the neurologists my GP recommended.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

It is to whoa. Rafael Palmeiro attempted to throw his teammate Miguel Tejada under the bus. And failed. [link]

Not that it's common (or even possible?) to lace a Vitamin B-12 with stanozolol (a steroid usually injected), but both Tejada and the pills he takes have been cleared. The mess just gets messier and messier, doesn't it?

We're going to an A's game tonight which has fireworks afterwards, and he'll have his name up on the Jumbotron.

Dude! That, plus an iPod thingie, plus a bike? That is some birthday.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think you need at least 4 booty shakers in a room to cause a quake. FYI.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Dude! That, plus an iPod thingie, plus a bike? That is some birthday.

It's good to be 9. Also fireworks, which is his favorite thing ever.

The actual birthday party is tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Emmett!

Sounds like a great birthday.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

What did you end up wearing, Allyson?

Dark blue jeans, a black poet blouse and satin chinese slippers with little pink flowers stitched on them.

And an orange sparkly flower in my hair.

I felt okay. Some of the fans dressed up in, er, costume, and I think maybe that was silly. It was silly. I'm not going to waffle about it.

Cutest moment was when a fellow fan whispered in my ear, "Allyson, you've been to these sorts of Hollywood things before, right?"

I said yes.

She said, "Are there always a group of half naked blond women giggling and flirting and trying to get attention from anyone in the business?"

I said yes.

She said, "I saw two men holding hands. That's the way it should be, like no one should care about it, but I've never seen it happen."

I smiled and said yes.

I would have sat with her the whole time. She was just sort of quietly watching everything and taking it all in, and had the best things to say.

Aww, Nutty, I went to that article thinking I was going to read about baseball players actually throwing each other under buses. Now I will mope.

Dear Hec, while Emmett is undoubtedly the best 9 near old evah, aren't you worried about spoiling him? Signed, didn't get a shuffle and a bike for MY birthday, damn it.
