I heard about the Gay Bomb on Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me this weekend! Funny.

That segment was so gigglarific.

People, if in two places you are responsible for, you state the policy as X, do not come to me and ask me why something is X. It is because you said so!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Blah. I was vaguely considering seeing the touring production of Spamalot here, but Ticketmaster has the only tickets left, and they tack over $10 of fees on top of any ticket. Grrrr.

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

such creepy sexual subtext....

It's not creepy sexual subtext. It's creepy familial subtext.

Or something.

My heart rate has not climbed down from its peaks this morning, plus I'm achey and sore. Such a whiner.

Now tagless for your comfort.

It's why I call them Ticketbastard.

They are! They're total bastards. And I'm disappointed that the local company here is like, "Nope, sorry, only Ticketmaster. Suck it up."

Yes, I too recently had the joy of a Ticketmaster "tickets are $31, OH WAIT HA HA, MAKE THAT $45" experience.

What is even happening?

I'm skipping 120 posts to ask the Hivemind this question...

Have any of you ever heard of the Junior National Young Leaders Conference (JrNYLC)? Apparently my son was nominated. Meep.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I spent a summer working for NYLC in Washington many years ago -- I don't remember a Junior version, but the main event was pretty cool.

They sent this beautiful packet and engraved invitation and letters to us and to Ben, and program information, registration materials, etc., so it looks on the up and up. I have to email his teacher and find out what this is all about.

Compassionately intolerant

Eddie Izzard is freaking hott.

I spent a third of Ocean's 13 thinking...and then leaning over to say it out loud to my companion...I just want to have sex with him. True story.

I slept in today. Walking 21 miles over the last three days has taken a tired toll. I felt a little achey, and what my grandmother used to call 'stoved up.'

Then, coincidentally, the acupuncturist friend who's office I run when she is out of town, brought me back a Chinese blend tea called 'stamina.' I tell you what, it fixed me right up. My feet still feel it, but I'm doing much better.

Serendipity is a beautiful thing.
