Also, for the Catholics/knowledgeable about Catholic stuff, one of the things we found in Mom's stuff is an odd circle of metal with a small crucifix at the top and ten balls around the outside of the circle. I'm wondering if it's some sort of mini-rosary for convenient fiddling with.

Connie, that's exactly what it is -- like a mini-rosary one can use while driving, for instance. (That's how my mom used hers back in the day when she was uber-Catholic.)

So, err.

I have a question for Bitches. It involves pony play. Specifically, when people get really into it (like, to the plug point and beyond): can you get different shoes to indicate that, say, Pony!You is a Clydesdale/Other Draft Horse?

The worst part is, this is to answer something that came up at work.

I feel smart!

edit: Exactly like that picture! Thank you, Teppalicious.

"Plug point" = tail? Anyway, I don't see why not, though something like that would probably be custom-made.

I just answered a question about Catholic paraphernalia, and then a pony play question.

There's something so deeply wrong about that.

And so wonderfully right.

A lot of pony gear is custom made so I expect you can get in Appaloosa print if you want.

Ben got his report card, today, all A, A-, and B grades. Score one for the good guys.

Go Ben!

I went over to Emmett's school early to alert them and talk to his teacher. Then I walked Emmett to aftercare and explained to him. He was just sad that he doesn't get to see A. Then I told the aftercare people.

Called EM and she was at home so I went over. We took a walk to a nearby bar, sat in the beergarden and had a couple. Talked a lot about her stuff, but also Emmett and Matilda and parenting and got her laughing and relaxed again. It was good.

P-Cow, you'll like this. Emmett and I were talking about the latest Avatar. We'd both already seen it once and were rewatching.

Me: "Did Iroh already yell at Zukko yet?"
Emmett: "He's going to yell at him again, but he's going to use more painful words. That's what makes it more emotional and is why the show is so good."

Teppy, I was just thinking the same thing. You well-educated person, you.

I feel so unworldly.

I get to vote tomorrow! None of my candidates will win, but still! Democracy! Whee!

I get a little geeky about voting.

Heh. My knowledge base is esoteric, to say the least.
