I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
"Friday Night Lights" gets Salon's "Buffy" award for the most underappreciated show of the year.
Sweet! *\\o/*!
Right now, though? No pain, and no anxiety attach hangover.
Double sweet!
lisah, "99 Luftballons" is actually super-easy to sing. It's a standard in my repertoire, but I sing it in the Goldfinger style. Very fun!
Last night we went to see the video DJ
That sounds awesome.
Shall I link to individual non-spoilery ones?
Yes, please!

What have you done in the last year while Matilda went from born to one?
Bought and learned how to ride a motorcycle. Went to Joshua Tree. Hung out with friends. Drank a lot. Changed jobs. Acquired a guitar, with intent to learn.
IOW, continued with my mid-life crisis.

What have you done in the last year while Matilda went from born to one?
Um. New job. And that's pretty much it. Now I'm depressed.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Right. I totally embarked on my midlife crisis which involves a lot of clothes and some pole dancing. I became a much better krav instructor. I found a new best friend and kept several good friendships despite not being there for them as much as I'd wish.
Unrelatedly this seems a perfectly obvious use of excess.
Someone just catcalled in the hallway behind me and yelled "Shake it, Daddy!"
Ah, life.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That sounds awesome.
Oh, he is. Everytime we're up there, I think "I will bring juliana here when she visits!" The bar is called The Cavern and is all dark and divey with Beatles stuff everywhere.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Got engaged and another year older.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
What have you done in the last year while Matilda went from born to one?
Uh, new job, which right now is giving me headaches. Why everyone seems to think I can figure out our administrative systems without anyone explaining them to me is beyond my ken. And I hate it, because not knowing something I'm clearly expected to know makes me feel stupid, and feeling stupid makes me feel humiliated, even when the problem is clearly with their expectations and not my brain.
Also, switched genres in my writing. Still Not Published.
Not my best year, really.

anyone else confused about the use of "Daddy". While ita can kill you with an eyelash, she is definitely all girl (heh, typed ass girl at first)
