I'm still not allowed to beat people with sticks here, so I have to tolerate the recaps. If they were like Wing Chun or Sars from TWOP, that would be one thing (those Dawson's Creek recaps were sheer art, I tell you what), but they aren't.

Or cleolinda's recaps of Breaking Dawn. That was sheer genius.

Please don't beat me with a stick!

I think it's a kind of un- or subconscious egotism (uh, I don't mean to slag on Strega's -- or anyone's friend). Really. They love their sport/TV show/whatever SO much that if they just tell you about it enough, you'll love it, too!

hah! that reminds me of a cartoon I just saw this morning

I know I've been guilty of this. Like trying to get my best friend to watch Buffy when she HATED SMG from when she was on that soap opera. Oh well! I still think she would have liked it if she gave it a chance.

ION, I got my Trixie dress and it mostly fit but seemed a little weird to me. Then I figured out I could wear my strapless bra under it and it looked MUCH better but wasn't quite right. THEN I took it to get altered today so that it will really fit! The first time I've done that. I'm so excited!

I love Basic Instructions! How to Wash a Cat is comedy GOLD.

So no one watching the sprinting?

I'm only really ever in it for that.

I can't believe I've done a load of laundry already. Gotta hang it to dry and then I can go to work. And some days I don't get out of bed until mid-afternoon. A little consistency would be nice.

Got my first nibble by an employer (as opposed to recruiter) and I'm quite terrified since they redescribed the job and I want it awful bad, but have no confidence. It's not anything I've done before exactly, but neither is this gig I'm wrapping up, I guess.

I like sprinting! It fulfills my desire to sit down, watch something happen, and see who won, all in a short period of time.

ita, I'm sending you all the job-fu in the world!

I've watched some of the sprinting because I've caught a fair amount of track in the past two days.

Kayaking ahoy today! Let's see if we can survive N being a pill about it?

I like the sprinting!

When are the relays?

I hear that there was a horrible accident in weightlifting that I am very glad I saw.

Me, too! Sprinting is awesome!

Re: sprinting we rock! Did you see how much Jamaica rocks? I hope it continues.

Okay--laundry hung, frumpy dress on, just about ready to conquer a new week.

I'm sending you all the job-fu in the world!

Thank you so much. This will take some sweet-talking on my side, but it's a goodgreat company, looks like good pay, and it's pretty local (not as local as the current one, but short of working at home that's not very possible).
