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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

am waiting for tv repair man, wearing fun new sweater from my mom (orange and pink).

I tossed 4 bags of trash last night and have a shelf and bag of recycling to toss today. I swear, it is amazing the amount of stuff we generate and accumulate.

Good news, Hil. I'm glad they finally worked it out - sounds like it'll be very interesting.

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

If one is to have a war on a noun, why not fear? The terror thing isn't working out so well, so I think a slight change in angle might work.

I'm glad you shared, Jesse. I don't care if I don't know the people. I'm excited and scandalised.

I'm willing to lose the 10 minutes or so it takes to lace up knee-high boots.

But if you include zip/lace, then you open yourself up to more boots--of course, not all of them will fit, but not all the lace-only ones are the same size either.

I say you go for it. Also, while you're doing stuff, can you create that fashion term site? It could be a wiki. That'd work.

eta: Congrats, hil!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ooo, I forgot about the Olymipics being on. Must show daughter snow.

Ooops, daughter just stripped naked. I guess she needs a new panty.

tv repair guy is here. YAY!

Before he arrived I managed to get the dishes washed and the kitchen's dirty yucky window sills cleaned.

AND Now it seems my tv is fixed.

so it's going to be a good weekend, msbelle.

I think I need coffee. Right now.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

AND Now it seems my tv is fixed.

He plugged it in?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Thanks, guys. I'm really excited about this job.

Popped new batteries in the remote?

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

On last week's SNL, there was a scene with Steve Martin talking extremely closely with one of the regular actors. Like real close. I didn't watch the whole skit or anything, but every time I watch one actor step up to another one since then, I keep wondering a) if they're going to get Steve Martin close and b) how the hell the two of them got that close and didn't wobble into each other. Very distracting.
