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)

I must have needed a nap, because not only did I fall asleep for 3+ hours, when I woke up I was convinced it was 7 AM because it was light, et cetera. As if the cats would let me skip their dinner.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I got stuck in the Upper East Side with no subway, but I'm fine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that's crazy. I didn't even know about it until I got home.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I read somewhere that there was only one injury, so I imagine the buffistas are unscathed. I'm still at work downtown.
