'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Did you blackout and come to in a clean apartment?
No, but at one point, I was in the bathroom standing atop a wobbly ladder yanking open a stubborn light fixture to replace a bulb. I'm shocked that it didn't end in a spectacular pratfall and a trip to the ER.
lisa -- would have been '89 or '90, I think. Waaaaay back then.
I'm scanning the neighborhood listserv and copying down all recommended anythings. Reading about other people's housing adventures is nervousmaking!
A million years ago I posted a link to a Jamaican article about a man having sex with a goat that had a cartoon accompanying it, goat and all. There is a certain lack of shame or modesty in our sexual reporting, even though I'd categorise our national community as somewhat prudish. As a nation, there's a large streak of conservatism, and then there's dancehall, for instance. Which is the genesis of this article: Rise in Broken Willy. Which is...just what it sounds like. I just wish I could find a video of the dance referred to therein. All the youtubes I've seen so far are slideshows.
eta: Safe for work. More medical than anything else.
Speaking of medical, I have no mouth and I must scream voice. Matilda had a cold this week, spent many nights coughing on my head and now that she's better I'm infected.
Then we had the opening ceremony for Little League, parade, pictures and a 12:30 game that was looooooong. Didn't finish until after 3:00pm. Somewhere around the second inning (after herding the boys all day from parade to pictures to warmup) I lost my voice.
Then, of course, it was an incredible see-saw game where we ultimately won. Emmett hit a two-run home run. Our pitchers were awesome, we got just enough hits and our defense was much much better than the first game where we got slaughtered.
So, we're now 1-1 and we've got another game on Monday. Tomorrow's going to be a long baseball day too. Emmett has tournament team practice from 8-10am, umpire a game from 10-Noon, then regular team practice from 5:30 to 7:00. Crazy. Then a Monday game.
I will be doing all my coaching with sign language and dance moves.
ION, Yay date #2!
GO EMMETT!! HOME RUN!!
yay date #2

read ita's article and watch those dance moves
Now added to my long list of thing I never really envisioned googling: penile fracture. Thanks ita!
My sister, ever the anthropologist, found me a link to the daggerin' dance. NSFW rating: Elvis on American Bandstand had *nothing* on this.
It makes me feel so old...but that's not dancing. Not by a long shot.
