My 2:00 rehearsal was cancelled. Now I don't have to leave the house until my second rehearsal at 5:30. See how I'm running around being all productive?
No, wait, I'm lying around under my duvet being snarky in Salon letters.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Overslept today, missed church. So instead we had pancakes & eggs for breakfast in bed and have declared today housecleaning day. We'll go check out this weird evening church tonight instead. And the Colts are on our teevee today. So lots of tasks that involve hanging out in the bedroom with the television.
Anyway, I need the hive mind. What's that video, the one with the advertisement that was supposedly done all in one take, that's the things rolling and hitting each other and triggering other things whose name I can't remember? It's like the thing the Mythbusters did, with the robot and the turkey in the oven. You can see why my Google-fu is befuddled on this one.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
They're named after Rube Goldberg, and I think it's a Honda ad. Maybe Volkswagen.

Fandom Secrets is horribly addictive, and there is some amusing wank in the comments.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, that ad is awesome. I love Rube Goldberg contraptions.
