I wonder if there were any parents in the crowd going "RU-DY! RU-DY!" like I would have wanted to.
Inara: We thought we lost you. Mal: Well, I've been right here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

That was a wonderful clip! The reaction of the crowd to his getting on the court reminds me of the season-ending game up at Marquette my sophmore year. Willy, who was the team's walk-on, no scholarship, and very little court time, was graduating that year, and by the last five minutes of the game, all the students were chanting "Willy, Willy," just like in Rudy, only this was in 1986 and years before that movie was made. When he finally got onto the court for the last few minutes, the place went wild, and he did end up with a basket or two (not 20 points, though!).

The article that made me cry this morning was about the speedskater whose grandpa had a heart attack and died the day before her race, just a little bit before she arrived to visit with him and the rest of her family in Italy. [link]
I really shouldn't be allowed to read sad stuff unless I've been awake a few hours.
My apartment smells like pinesol and the laundry is done. Need to make a trip to Target. I should also pick up lemon pinesol. I apparently grabbed the wrong one and now...well, I think pinesol smells like elementary school bathrooms.

I did some general kitchen sorting and straightening. Time soon to go back and start in on the Greased Lightning portion of the festivities. Later there will be vacuuming. In fact, the sooner there is vacuuming, the sooner I can get the cats to go hide instead of demanding an early supper....

ita, thanks for reminding that I need to use my Lucy coupon today to buy new pants. Also, the pizza places are Kristina's (on Overland) and Julie's (on Palms). I think they both deliver but I'm not sure because they are so close to us we just pick up. Julie's has a thinner crust. I think Kristina's is the better all around pizza, but I really like Julie's margarita (the pie, not the drink).
Our pipes are misbehaving. We tried snaking, but I think we are just going to need to call the plumber. feh. The only upside is we'll probably need to go out to dinner just to avoid more pile up in the kitchen.
