Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Would sticking knitting needles in your forearm be Granny Acupuncture? It WOULD have been less painful than a lot of my week. But things are improving ... and I'm full of food from the lunch we had for our president's retirement.

Dance ... I think for almost any school of dance there is a certain level of technique. Once you've mastered the technique, then breaking out and doing something different would be one thing, where just kind of making it up as you go would be another.

And, talking about dancing., this amuses me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

definitely, teevee to the contrary. There are some really fabulous things going on out there. Next time I have some bandwidth to spare I'll see if I can't rustle up some video to explain.

I actually have seen some non-debbie dance since I was a kid in the eighties. Honest. I was being silly -- and expressing my lingering distaste for compulsive floor-flinging.

In acting school I studied movement with Marlene Pennison which made various dancer friends twitter. (not Twitter)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Tomorrow G has to spend most of the day at work(yeah, the same thing that required him to get up at Stupid o' clock yesterday- Spring Board meetings). I'm planning to hit the library and the mall.

Sunday we're going to the Washington Folk Fest, and try not to buy lots of pretty shinies.

Bad things about Facebook: when it suggests I add as a friend my coworker who died about a year ago. It just makes my heart hurt. (She was my Facebook friend; I defriended her when she DIED, you Facebook idiots.)

(Note: I know this isn't Facebook's fault. But I still don;t like it.)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

it's Xpress Spa in McCarren. It's a pretty full service chain. All airports should be required to have them.

The Raleigh-Durham airport has one of these. When I realized I'd be spending a ton of time at that airport this year, I got one of those buy-5-and-1-is-free things.

Barb, I hope your day improved.

Tomorrow I'm flying back to NC and making up with my cat. Sunday I'll do housework and probably continue making up with my cat.

Seriously first world problem: the thunderstorm outside my fancy-pants hotel has knocked out the satellite, so if I want to watch more NCIS reruns I'll have to stream them from Hulu. Oh the humanity.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Opening one of those in a NYC airport would be a goldmine I would think.

So I was supposed to be able to leave at 4. Instead, a crisis erupted that kept me there until nearly 5 and results in me having to be awake for the morning conference. Bah.

Punishingly Intricate

That is bullshit, sarameg! Also, I have water coming in the basement when it rains now. Unfair! I think the basement door just needs to be resealed or something.
