If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

This week on fun with x-posts:

Is there a French exclamation roughly equivalent to "Oh, what the hell," only a little more polite? Like, something a gentleman would say in front of ladies he respects. The context is that he's agreeing to a somewhat reckless plan.

OMG! SPACE!

Not sure we're quite hitting that 19th century tone there. Though my French is pretty bad, I could be missing some nuance.

David, that sounds like my version of hell.

I think I've worked there in my nightmares. I would die.

Art Crawl!!!

I finally got around to saving the first of the Sarah Jane Adventures to tape and discover that tivo had kept the first half and lost the second. Sigh.

Well, the first one isn't that good anyway.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Other than the cats chasing each other around, its quiet here.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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.

I so read that wrong at first.

sara, that's the cutest bat skull EVER. Also love the pics of the kids further back in the photostream.

I need to get dressed, but the only pair of pants that fit (staring balefully a them) need to be hemmed by about 5 inches.

GR. ARGH.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

well we were supposed to leave to see friends at 10:30, but my ride is running late. I hope he gets here soon.

I will clean until then, I guess.

What did you end up wearing, msbelle?

We were going to pancake breakfast at the fire station since it's Fire Service Day, but Noah decided to go back to bed.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Special for Hil -- Pose #3 I've actually done in Yoga! I think it's called Frog pose, and is indeed a runner-up to the handstand. IIRC, the key is to get your butt high enough that your center of balance is right in the center triangle between hands and head, and also you rest/support the inside of your knees approximately on the outside of your elbows. You run up to it by getting arms, shoulders and head into the right position, then jumping your legs and butt up -- it looks hysterical when it's a class of yoga students doing it, which is why I mostly keep my head down and don't look.

Now I want to go back to yoga.
