I find that I get fixated on certain words from my tiles and I don't think so much about placement on the board and playing to maximize my points. Also, even though I'm not even fluent, I keep trying to play french words.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Back from choir. Wore the royal blue shirt with the black pants, and got complimented on the shade of blue and how it looked on me. We sounded good, I think, and got to sing lots of good, old music. (My church is rather given to contemporary praise choruses, so any service where almost all the music predates the Clinton administration is good in my book, and a couple of this week's pieces actually predate the Washington administration. I like the old stuff partly because it's almost always more lyrically complex and melodically interesting, but also because the songs that have survived a century or two have proven themselves. With the songs that aren't yet old enough to drive, drink, or vote, we get the 90% that's crap in with the 10% that's decent and the 1% that might actually stand the test of time.)
They only have nursery for infants at evening services, so AB had to stay with DH throughout. She was mostly good, for values of good that involve crawling under the pews quietly, and I'm happy to say it was not my Annabel who started singing "Old Macdonald" during the cool a cappella tenor/bass section of "Of the Father's Love Begotten," but someone else's Annaliese.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
We may have to come up with a drinking game to go along with it.Ooh, the friend I play Scrabble with the most and I do this. Well, wine and Scrabble. That's kinda a drinking game, right? Makes it fun. Also makes for relatively looser rules by the time her husband gets home to mock us.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
wine = drinking
scrabble = game
I think we're past kinda

Now tagless for your comfort.
Blue cheese, green onions and bacon? Can I come to dinner?
Sure. I'll keep it warm for you.
Oh, my, those shoes are GORGEOUS! And spendy.

In happier thoughts, you should all move to NM! Even though I moved away from NM! I still love New Mexico and would like to get back there some day. And anyway, you'd be closer to me!

Even though I moved away from NM! I still love New MexicoMy GP's are selling their place down there. Just too old to go back and forth during the winter anymore I guess. Sad times.

FWIW, SUP has been running LiveJournal Russia very successfully. So the situation could be way worse (like for instance, being sold to Rupert Murdoch or someone like him).
