I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Mexico but really he was in Monaco

Really, that's just a few letters in the middle! And, depending on where you are in Mexico, it might be just like Monaco, only without any royalty.

(Or it might be slobbering drunken college students groping one another in bug-infested fleabag motels, but I am sure they have that in Monaco too. Except all the college students have to wear tuxedos.)

Rabobank must be beside themselves. (The sponsor, not the team. Although the team too.)

Art Crawl!!!

I read something that said the team is out and something else that said that the individual team members were going to be allowed to decide whether or not they'd like to continue.

Since Rasmussen's been in the yellow jersey, that means they've been testing him after every stage, doesn't it?

Well, at issue were two random dates where they wanted to test him out of competition - nothing to do with the Tour.

Except that now it is.

This totally beats Potterdammerung.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Holy cow! That's completely nuts! And I was just watching this morning and being all excited and also somewhat confused because I clearly missed the rest of the kerfluffles, but this is the big one!

And also, VS coverage was driving me batty.

Oh, oh, and what do you guys think about his (no longer an issue) complaining about the press motorbikes being too close?

Oh, oh, oh, and did you see the streaker? 'Cause what is live television without a streaker?

It seemed a little diva-ish. Say what you will about Armstrong, I don't remember him pulling that shit.

Yes! It's not really a stage without a naked guy.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh yeah, and what I actually came here to post was that I have some people coming to visit next week and we're doing this weird spiritual gifts assessment and part of my task was to get friends to fill out a survey for me, about what they think my skills are. So I put it up on livejournal for you guys to fill out. It's all kinda bizarre and filled with religious-speak, but if you don't mind that (or don't mind ignorning it) I'd love to have you participate. I'd appreciate it.
