Ooh. I forgot to have lunch. Well, that I can fix.
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I've only been catching as much of the Tour as homework allows this year; sadly, my usual pattern of "watch the big start live at nothing o'clock, then don't worry if I miss the rest of the first week because it's all boring, flat, and Belgian" has been failing me this week. I keep missing demolition derby and OMGMONSTERSPRINTBATTLES and only having time for the highlights.
Sigh.
Weird year, which I kinda knew it would be (for a whole lot of reasons that go beyond the big doping madness, but definitely including the bdm). Dana's whitefont made me sigh. Vino is always one of my big big loves and he just KEEPS having random shit happen. wtf, oh ye gods of the bicycle men?
Rasmussen is always so terrifying to look at.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
amych, the A/C guy was here, so I didn't see what happened. I'm trying to catch it in the rerun of coverage, but apparently the cameras even missed what happened. Vino has a really ugly-looking hematoma high up on his leg. His team completely killed themselves to get him back into the main field, but he still didn't make it. He lost about 1:20 on the main field.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm doing a reading at Comicon. Whoot!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have a chocolate cupcake for breakfast.
I had Nervous Nellie's blueberry preserves on my English muffin this morning, and today's free lunch is being catered by Shiok!. Those things both make me happy.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Whoah.

I don't know the schedule. The SoCal Browncoats have a room there for stuff, and a bunch of events scheduled. They were kind enough to give me a bit of time. Really generous of them.
I think it'll be on Sunday.

paperdol, right on!!!! Oh, I finished the book Tuesday (I made myself read slowly) it was wonderful!! I loved it a lot. I have already loaned it to my mom, since she's still got the "axe murderers populate the internet" mindset, but to cut her some slack she's almost 70, it's a great read and it'll be informative as well as entertaining for her. Sent a copy to my brother in England and pimped it to my cousin and a few cool work pals!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

YAY!!! I finally got the book Tuesday, started reading it last night, and then had to put it down so I could assemble my new comfy chair and ottoman so I could finish reading it in the luxury it deserved. I also have pictures of it in it's wild habitat (the B&N), where it was shelved next to some Lord of the Rings book. That made me laugh and laugh and picture your book teasing the other book about the filthy hairy-footed people in it.
