Enh. it wouldn't annoy me because I'd be all,
You have not met the Yes But Sara. She is fearsome, stubborn and irritating. And like hell I'd doff the bra I was wearing!
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

Not the one you are wearing, sara. The ones at home. It would be a long term plan.
I didn't know the men's bar was narrower
I just realized that narrower is the wrong term. I mean a smaller diameter. And, if I remember from years of gymnastics camp (my gym had no men's equipment except for a pommel horse we used to play on and parallel bars for strength training), the men's high bar is more perfectly round.

I only have 4 in rotation!
OK, I think it was them: [link] and I adored them because I am a sucker for Vivaldi's 4 Seasons.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Callista Flockhart looks almost chubby-cheeked in her photo. Maybe not working agrees with her.
Halle still doesn't look interesting with no makeup on, but she's never been a look that draws my eye. And Emma Thompson looks perfectly normal.
Hmm. Maybe I will try dinner after all. All told, since I stopped krav, I've dropped about 30lbs and it's nights like this that are the reason. That and I can easily go a day with too much nausea to eat. I suspect there'll be parental friction here.
Kat, I'd be nearer almost everyone if I moved out that way, true. And I do miss folks. But I don't think I'm ready to move yet.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I've been watching some old gymnastics clips on youtube, and I realized that, in the older clips, you couldn't hear all the thumps on the landings and such. They must have some really sensitive mics there now -- there was one pommel horse routine where I could hear his legs brushing against the side of the horse, and every landing now sounds huge.
Part of the landing thunks could be the sprung floors. It's a pretty distinct hollow sound.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The power of makeup, celebs before and after. Halle is gorgeous anyway you cut it.
Emma Thompson looks fine!
There are some serious botox nightmares there. So much bad skin.
The link to Marilyn before and after makeup was interesting - she looked pretty good without makeup. I wouldn't have expected that.

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
I picked you up a signed copy, ita.
She read your part, and you know, she captured you really well. I couldn't stop laughing because i could HEAR YOU. It was great.

You'd never seen the no-makeup pictures of her?
I swear, they've got one in every bio!
Most of the makeup-less shots are candids, which are almost always less flattering.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

We're still hearing the landings fairly loudly on things like bars, where they're landing on a mat.

The signing was good for my soul. I signed Vampire People for the store while I was there, and Deb talked me up and I was reminded that I'm not really a soulless fucking drone. I'm a writer with a soulless fucking drone job.
There's nothing more rock star than signing your book and seeing the whole, "signed by the author" sticker and boy, is that happy-making.
