Happy birthday, bunk.
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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When I rule the world, websites that make noise without you asking them to will be banished FOREVER.
I'd vote for you, but I dismember where you stand on the gauchos thing.
You know, if I was being Jilliesque in this skirt, perhaps short granny boots with a bit of a pointy heel would look better. I'd better not go to Zappos.com again.
Jilli, there will be pictures. Especially if get the gumption to take it Jillier.

I favor multiple fashion options at all times, but with a smaller vocabulary. Therefore, gauchos will be permissible, but they will be called "flared cropped pants."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Sheryl!
It'll mostly be good that it's done, but yeah. I felt the same way about my undergraduate thesis and master's project. HATE. But I'm looking forward to the relief. The good thing there was that I'd gotten another chunk done, was the thing.
You know what I hate? A lack of page length requirements. I know you should just write what needs to be written, but let's be honest. If the teacher's thinking "paragraph" and you write four pages, you've essentially done a different assignment. I'm not trying to weasel out of real work by asking how many pages are expected, I'm trying to get a feel for the actual assignment.
I am totally Emily in every way right now.
My good thing for the day: Half-price Easter candy! I brought a big handful of stuff up to the counter, and it came to three bucks! Even the checker was impressed.
And yet, I am still sleepy and grumpy. At least I'm not sneezy. Or Doc.

I just got an email from a childhood friend containing pictures of her new nephew! I didn't even know her sister was pregnant again. Also, I didn't know it was her nephew (nor who was the mother) until I got to the picture of V with her husband, son and new baby. Last time I saw V? She was 14.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Pete could, too.

I think this may be the single greatest new story I have ever read. I mean, the headline alone!
Cat Army Annihilates Destructive Rats:
A group of villagers recently prepared a sumptuous fish banquet for more than 200 cats to thank them for eradicating rats from their farmland.
Yangmei villagers in Sanjiang Township of Xinhui District in the city of Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, are expecting a good harvest this year thanks to the hard-working cats.
The village committee spent more than 12,000 yuan (US$1,500) to buy more than 200 cats, which they released onto farmland to help wipe out the rat problem.
Sanjiang Village has 86.67 hectares of rice fields and 13.33 hectares of other crops and suffered from a rat infestation after most of the snakes were caught and slaughtered by local villagers in previous years.
