Yeah, that Lucy stuff looks great. I'm more likely to go to Marshall's or Filene's Basement and buy whatever doesn't look too skanky, though.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Lucy stuff feels even better than it looks. I'm pissed that I have to mostly wear krav workout clothes now, because they're less texturally indulgent. They're great in action--don't chafe or wedge up, and wick sweat like a dream.
The pants, that is. I've always had way too many T-shirts, so I have only tried a couple of their tops, and mostly for the wit on the front.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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

I've seen that a couple of times (ESPN covered it, as did the CBS Evening News), and it's just amazing.
For those who didn't watch, it's about an autistic high school kid who was the team manager for the basketball team. In the team's last game, they decided to add him to the roster to show their appreciation. He's a well-liked kid, so when they put him in the game, the crowd cheered. When he then reeled off 6 three-point shots, and scored twenty points, the crowd went nuts. You gotta wonder if the coach is thinking, "Man, I should've done this sooner."

Actually, it was the kid manning the wrecking ball that set me off. Which softened me up for the we shall defend without powers thing. By the time Granny showed up it was too late.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I wonder if there were any parents in the crowd going "RU-DY! RU-DY!" like I would have wanted to.

My parents are going to see BBM tonight. Which is marvellous. They tried to go yesterday. It was sold out. Totally marvellous. Makes me sniffly too.
Found out a teen relative is in the psych ward. Completely unmarvellous.

It's pulled in over $75 million domestic so far. Today's box office will probably push it past Philadelphia, and it may have outsold The Talented Mr. Ripley by next weekend.
