Leg's better, babe-- or maybe it's just that I'm not feeling it so much since the number I did on my back yesterday, rescuing Jasmine the Ridiculous Lab from under the fence.

MM that was beautiful. But... well... I hate to ask. Does this mean no more kerfuffle bunnies?
Shir, glad to hear the ~ma is working on your lip. Hopefully you can smile pain free.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Hec-ma, JZ!
So in HowCuteIsThis news, yesterday as my kids came back in from their swimming lesson, one of them - a 7 year old French boy called Pierre - said to me: "Miss Fay, do you like Obama or McCain?" and I said "Obama! And he's President now!" And he said "HE WON???!!!" And I said "Yes!" And he grabbed one of the other kids and started yelling "Obama won! Obama won!" And my crowd of seven- and eight-year olds of various nationalities went Obama crazy. In Bangkok.
!!!!
I didn't even know they KNEW there was an election going on in America! I mean, okay, I have 2 American kids, so I guess that's not so surprising - I knew one of them knew, but I certainly didn't expect the whole class to start jumping around excitedly. And they were asking sensible questions, like "How many votes did McCain get?" and when I told them how the vote split worked out, they were laughing and excited all over again.
Cutest. Thing. Ever.
Meanwhile, in mememe news, the student preview of my play went very well! Yay! (And I'm particularly pleased that the daughter of one of the local amdram 'Old Guard' was there with her school group, since said lady - who's directing a production of The Mikado has apparently been a little unguarded in her suppositions that we're crap. In light of this knowledge, the 'promotional' article she wrote for us in the Newsletter (she's in charge of the group's Newsletter) read as decidedly snide. (Our director being new to the group, and almost all our cast also being new members.) Anyway, I know the kid in question thought we were great, and will go home and tell mum. Which is nice.
Schadenfreude - I have to say, I'm not a fan. But evidently she is - I swear it's a competitive thing, and we're NOT in competition, for fuck's sakes! Her play is on in JANUARY. And it's a totally different kind of show. But I don't think she can bear the idea that someone 'new' could do a good job of directing.
I SO don't have time or patience for this kind of petty snippy bullshit. I think we need more of a supportive, constructive, can-do kind of attitude on the committee, and not this endless backbiting bullshit. Gah.
Fricking DRAMA QUEENS, man! We suck!

Well, he did grow up on Indonesia which is like a stone's throw away, right? That's so awesome, Fay! That must've been a real treat.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I brought champagne, but since the police were so very very present and polite (and nobody else had busted out champagne) I decided to let it lie. Most of the cops were smiling.
You could feel waves of joy rolling down the street. Groups of people would start sing-alongs. Street musicians were everywhere. Cars were beeping in time to the chanting.
Man, this sounds like Martha and the Vandellas...
Callin' out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
And from the depths of the soul of America, apparently the answer is...yes.

ION. It seems tonight I had, what might be discovered as, the first example of it's GOOD to shop while hungry. I have finally purchased the basic ingredients for baking in my new apartment. Flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda. But the hungry in me saw cinnamon sticks and went "Mmmm Yum!". Mind you, I've never ever ever used sticks before, just the powder from McCormick. So. Um. Is there any special trick to using them sticks to say add cinnamon to brownies or cookies?
Now, I just need energy to actually, well, ya know, BAKE!
