How is it already 6:35 p.m.? Saturday errands take too long when you have to run them on Saturday when everyone else is!
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
My take on Gertrude is that she is weak and opportunistic, with a side order of shrewdly man-pleasing enough to get by. She says yes to Claudius because she's afraid for her life/security, she agrees with Hamlet mostly to get him to not hate/attack her rather than in any real interest of justice. I've never really taken her suicide as a deliberate act of any kind of true agency. I've only grokked it as a knee-jerk "I can't deal with this" totally in the moment, going along with whatever is going on in front of her, as per usual.
Gertrude is no Lady MacBeth, and I see Ophelia as cut from much the same cloth.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Heh. I wouldn't even need to be dating a cross-dresser to tell that dude that going from a lifetime of flat shoes to stilettos is INSANE. Most women couldn't do that -- walking in heels isn't an innate female trait.
You have to start with a low heel, dang it, and work your way up. That dude deserved the foot pain.

How cool is Los Angeles? You can watch movies projected onto Valetino's mausoleum.
We went on a tour of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery recently and the woman doing the tour said it's packed. It does sound cool, though. Also, I recommend the tour. Cool cemetery. I have pics from it on my Facebook (my lovely Peter Lorre is interred there).

Thrive to spite them
I hope everyone is dry and comfortable becuase I'm not. Tonight was the start of the FSU football season -- against Western Carolina. Game wise it was great -- Western Carolina had the ball first, 3 and out, punted, FSU returned it for the touchdown. Extra point.
Then a rain delay. The third one. The game was supposed to start at 6 at 5:30 the rain delays started , started at 7:30, then with 13:00 + minutes in the first quarter nearly an hour rain delay. So Dad and I came home. We didn't have ponchos, which was part of that but looking at the weather there would probably be another delay.
Actually it was not rain delay but rather lightning delay. I'm listening to the game since it's not on tv. After last season this is a freaking miracle.

“Not dead yet!”
Actually it was not rain delay but rather lightning delay.
I was gonna say-- I remember sitting in wet wool throughout many a game. I think only a handful of times did we get delayed and it was either because of lightning or high winds.
Good times.
I've got the Miami/Florida game on. ::pauses to spit three times::
Actually, living in Jax and having married into a primarily Gator family, I'm actually hoping for Miami to win :spits three times again:: if only so I can quit hearing about St. Tebow.

Thrive to spite them
In the Civic Center parking lot (we park and then ride the bus over since last season) there was a car with this on the back window:
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
Tebow sucks
and so does the U.
Or something like that. I think it actually ended with Tebow.
I have to say that yeah I'd want Miami to win in that case, the only time I'd root for Miami.
When UF got the basketball championships some people at work asked if I was happy for them/rooting for them and I said nope not one bit.
I do not root for UF ever.
