I have immunity against that earworm. Thank goodness or the crushingness of it might collide with the evil last 10 minutes and I'd rip someone's head off. Possibly mine.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

My old gym had pole dancing. Gotta be more fun (read: less mind-numbingly boring) than regular aerobics.

A little late for this rec for Aimee, but I like Fernwithy's Shifts for really good (if really long) Remus/Tonks fic. It takes place during OotP, and she has a sequel that takes place during HBP. It does a good job of matching up with the canon, and I love her original secondary characters, as well as the way she gets the Dursleys involved!

I would possibly pole dance if I knew I was in a room paranoically checked for observation devices and if I had the only key to the lock.

Eep, Trudy. Thanks for checking in.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Wait, so why are the Germans boycotting?
Apparently, the networks involved had considered not broadcasting the Tour at all this year, after all the recent doping stuff -- and reserved the right to drop it if any doping came up during the race. [link]
Or are they just embarrassed?
So, yeah, you could kinda say this. But more by the sport than the nationality of the accused.
(Ironically enough, T-Mobile has really taken the lead on cleaning things up compared to a lot of other teams -- their team contracts are much tougher on doping violations than the federation requires and so on. Not that it's made much difference, but...)
In other sports news, I found out while hunting down the German TV boycott details that my Phillies are the first 10,000-game losers ever! Is it any great surprise that my sports affections tend toward the tragic and unpopular?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
T-Mobile (the team) is not having a good year.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I think that pole dancing and me are unmixy things.(I'm imagining bruises in all sorts of odd places, seeing as I have trouble turning corners without hitting something)

They're really, really not.
