Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

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.

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

When Trig was born, Palin wrote an e-mail letter to friends and relatives, describing the belated news of her pregnancy and detailing Trig’s condition; she wrote the e-mail not in her own name but in God’s, and signed it “Trig’s Creator, Your Heavenly Father.”

Whoah.

Our wings are not tired.

Is it wrong of me to want Palin to stay a public figure for the entertainment value?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wish someone would tell Dinara Safina to wear clothes that fit her when she's playing tennis on the most hallowed courts in front of millions. She looks sloppy. And someone needs to tell some of the men that if their shirts weren't so damned big they wouldn't need to keep fidgeting with them so much. Kendrick was the worst I saw, but Roddick is guilty too.

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

Whoah.

Yeah, I've seen several blogs quote that part of the article.

It's arguable wrong (as there's a chance she could actually win the presidency and cause all sorts of damage) but I feel the same way.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It doesn't quite seem like a tennis tournament without Rafa constantly tugging at the seat of his pants.

Palin’s life has sometimes played out like an unholy amalgam of Desperate Housewives and Northern Exposure.

Heh.

It's true. Poor boy and his jock itch. Roddick seems to have cured himself of needing to adjust his package every minute or so. But now he's twitching at his shirt. Take a cue from Federer--Darth Fed wears the right size.

Speaking of whom, I'm askeered of the Karlovic/Federer match. Dr. Ivo better not win, as much as I like him.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm on hold with Travelocity's Customer Relations department so I can yell at them about fucking up a ticket of mine. They keep insisting it was booked correctly. I say, considering that the Delta agent at the gate said "You're not on these flights," that it was not booked correctly.

Nor do I feel inclined to accept their offer of $50 off a flight/hotel package. I'd love to know what makes them think I'll be using their services again.
