I'm afraid to ask how you mime "Baby on a Spike." It sounds like advanced miming. (First person to make a Spike from Buffy joke gets a whap on the head.)
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

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.

It's a reference to an Eddie Izzard bit, yes shrift?

Oh, all right, I wasn't silent so it wasn't mime, but I'm pretty sure it convinced people not to let me near their children.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Oooh, I hated move-in day when I worked at Penn. It's not as noticeable at UW, somehow, maybe because it's more of a commuter campus.
According to the article 27% of Americans did not read a book in the last year. That means 73% did, which is kinda better than I would expect. There are some interesting stats about who reads what in the article too.
It depresses me as an aspiring author, though it doesn't surprise me, that the median number of books read by the 73% is so low (9 for women, 5 for men). I know I'm an outlier, but I'd feel like something was wrong if I didn't read at least 100 books/year. This year I've already read 81.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Apparently the puppy boy is fine. The kennel owner just looked at his list of pickups and misread ours as the 27th, so he bailed. There is someone who stays there with the dogs, but he wasn't home yet. So no disasters; we're heading in to pick him up shortly. Also, cutely, apparently they must leave the radio on for the dogs.

Phew. Good to know Liese.
What station do they leave on for the dogs? Easy listening? Talk radio?
Not sure what Bboy would prefer. Probably All Things Considered given his fairly serious take on life.
