Oscar Pistorius, the double-amputee sprinter who was barred from able-bodied competition in January, will be allowed to pursue his dream of qualifying for the Olympic Games after an unexpected decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

I think the decisions/reactions to this have been really interesting in where people think the lines should be drawn.

Cashmere, that is totally irritating!

Saturday we are cleaning the garage since neighborkitty has been stealing more than socks and underwear out of there. Then we are going to the strawberry festival in Oxnard.

Sunday I am taking Noah to the Little Tokyo Funfest with Lori and then we are going to Milk and Bookies at Storyopolis.

Sox, I'm writing up a Vegas + Baby article for you. It may take a while.

The status is NOT quo.

Weekend:

Tonight, go to CalArt's graduation with ND. (He teaches there part time.) Apparently these graduations are...unique. Pink bunny suits and rappelling down the sides of buildings unique.

This weekend...no plans whatsoever. Kind of cool, actually.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Saturday: collapse on couch, catch up on Lost and Season 3 of Top Chef (thank you TiVo!)

Sunday: cook and bring over dinner for my aunt who had knee surgery a few weeks ago.

Aha! This is from a 2001 Vanity Fair article about furries. Katharine Gates made the map.

Gates's book features chapters on fat admiration, pony play, balloon fetishists, and, on the dark side, the crush freaks. Her Web site, deviantdesires.com, has a forum in which different fetishists can talk to one another -- the women who masturbate with bathtub toy boats can talk to the plushies, and so on.

Tonight I'm going to do laundry, watch Galactica, and clean frantically. Tomorrow I'm going to buy booze, clean frantically, & then have people over for a soiree. Sunday I think I'll sleep.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ah. We need to contact Katharine Gates and demand ask for an answer on the toy boat fetish issue....
