Now tagless for your comfort.

A lady I bought baby clothes off of on craigslist is contacting me for some skincare stuff she's trying to book demos for. Is this rude?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I'm just trying to clarify. Cause I'm easily confused these days.

Okay, so the books I need from the LAPL are in the rare books collection and I need to make an appointment to use them. Except there is no info on how to make an appointment. But there is a phone number. I LOATHE the phone.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Is this rude?
Yes.

Email or call? I can see an email. It's still rude but it might work or you can ignore it. Call? Rude.

yes, cashmere. or enterprising. They are often the same thing.
To sum up - pretty much what Kat said.

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

Thanks, dcp!

Kat, Marmalade Cafe in Sherman Oaks at 11:30. Check.

Head hurts, but in that antsy way, not the crawl into bed way. So it's mostly trying to dissuade me from J's party because I may flip mammallish or something. Also I have to go by myself (& therefore drive) and I am petulant about that.

My cousin bought a Wii today, and I got to try it out this evening -- bowling, boxing, golf, and tennis.

It's fun, and interesting, but kinda weird. I was never really sure which motions got recognized, and which didn't.

Watching other family members try to figure it out was as much fun as playing it myself.

One of the older (48) women at krav was talking about boxing with her son on the Wii. He won the first one, and then she beat him the second time. He squeaked a win on the third try, but it sounds like that'll be their final competition. She heard him sheepishly admit to a peer that his mother had almost won the engagement.

Now I'm curious, but I have to admit the impact is a large part of why I like hitting people.

For the record, I'm assuming my swollen left calf is because I've had the left knee bandaged but insufficiently elevated for the past two days. Not anything like it was last time I posted about a swollen left calf.

Off to put on velvet and sensible shoes and venture forth where shiny people might see me.

We only played against the machine -- apparently 2nd controllers are even harder to come by than the main device itself.

The boxing was weird, but fun. Footwork doesn't help, of course, and as far as I could tell there was no way to move in or back out. You could make your figure sway side to side, and we figured out that tilting the tops of your fists toward each other let you "cover up." The vertical motions weren't well recognized -- when I tried hitting to the body, half the time my guy didn't punch at all, and some of the rest were turned into head punches.

I'm not sure if there is a tutorial, or even a handbook. What we were doing was very much learning as we went along, so I bet most of our problems came from that.
