This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Where are you watching? Is it on the tv?

I wish I had a bigger tv just for this. With HD.

eta: NBC. It might start at 8 pm local, wherever your local is.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sara! Rock! Thanks!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm beind and maybe missed that, but are those actually light-up ancient drums? So fun!

(I was supposed to be taking a nap before a women's sabre all-nighter. Not happening.)

(US women are 3 of the top 4 in the rankings; 2 of the 3 are old clubmates of some friends of mine. So what if it's the time of year when I don't sleep?)

I know! It pays off that it's a small damn sport -- it's not like we're anywhere near the same league as the top people, but they're all at 2 degrees through clubmates, or refereeing, or coaches we know in common, or whatev. You just don't *know* people in more popular sports in the same way.

Freaky blob birds.

The symbolism in the production is interesting. Idealized and problematic given the politics, but interesting.
