I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I found Mesa "just OK" too, for dinner, but I like the margaritas.

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

At Canon Expo the company also demonstrated a rather cheesy, but quite addictive new feature for its range of digital cameras. Expected to arrive on new models next year Smile Shot is a system that detects when the person in focus is smiling and then automatically takes a picture

That freaks me out.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's like the camera equivalent of "Smile! Things can't be that bad!"

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

It's like the camera equivalent of "Smile! Things can't be that bad!"

More like the camera equivelent of, "Smile, human, or I will exterminate!!!"

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

After all the clothing talk here, I went out on my lunch hour to Marshalls, and bought three pairs of corduroy trousers, six pairs of tights, two pairs of hiking socks and a belt. Total cost: $110.64

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My parents are renting a nice house on St. Charles that belongs to a friend of theirs. My mother just came online to tell me that the house has power, so I can help them move down there tomorrow when I drive down. She's so excited to have a place of their own.

What is even happening?

Oh, yay for the good news, Dana. They'll feel so much better, settled. I'm so happy for them.
