That is adorable, sarameg.
So is the puppy story, scrappy.
Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!

Googling for trapeze info found me this book on hand-balancing from the late forties: [link]
Can any of you hold the pose shown in figure 3? Because I can't. I can do a handstand, but I just cannot figure out how to do that pose. Tried a bunch of times, kept falling over. Cannot work out my balance there. Is it a center of gravity thing, or am I doing something wrong, or what?

I'm pretty sure that Hec is still pulling for me to go with the Carrie-Ann Moss as Trinity haircut. I think I need to lose twenty pounds before I could attempt anything that sleek.
Yes, true, but I really liked the last bob too.
Kat has new hair and msbelle has new hair about which she is dubious.
I think it's time for msbelle to get back to that platinum blonde pixie cut.
I have had the most grueling temp job in ever. I have made 232 phone calls in the last two days. It's not cold calling, but it's just a notch away. Plus, it's for all the Department of Public Works civil engineers in Northern California, which means I had to wend my way through a never ending series of municipal phone trees. Feh.

I'm going to henna my hair this weekend, I think. I'm getting tired of the gray strands. 27 is too young to be noticably grey!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
So my dance group had a gig at the zoo. Well, it's more that there was SCA stuff as part of the "Guppy Gala" and we were part of the SCA stuff. Didn't dance all that much, but whatever...

Stephen Colbert interviewing an astronaut is almost as adorable as Pete. That is all.

Which astronaut?! (I've met a few and the eldest nephew idolizes one.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My binging on procedurals (Criminal Minds passed, Cold Case did not) has given me a goal. I want to be an autopsied corpse. Not one who has to do any acting--I just want to get made up and lie there all eviscerated.
That would be cool.

The status is NOT quo.
The Colbert/astronaut interview was one of the best things I have ever seen. The sheer joy and giddiness on both sides was fantastic.
