I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm at the Botanic Garden today. The weather is gorgeous, and the place is empty! Yay!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
SH, you are a fellow of taste and discernment! Which, okay, we already knew (the coat!) but still - good job!
...you know, I don't think I've read Excession. Must rectify that.
I love Use of Weapons, but it's definitely Banks in magnificently twisty-turny and thoroughly fucked-up mode. Which I thoroughly enjoy. Honestly, you're reading it KNOWING that he's going to have twists, and red herrings and all that, because it's Banks, and so you're looking for them, and yet even so, he STILL managed to lead me down the garden path very successfully with this one. Which is a big part of my love for the story - that I actually jumped up and said "Oh my God - no WAY!" out loud at one point.

That eye/tooth thing may officially be the weirdest thing I've ever heard of, if true. Cause...dude. That's just creepy.

Okay, my back is officially fucked. I have no idea what's going on, but I just found myself at the drugstore, unable to reach down and get a bottle of Aspirin on a knee high shelf. I could neitehr bend at the hips or squat. Finally I managed to squat down just enough to reach, but I thought I was going to have to call the pharmacist over to pick them up for me.
I was going to a movie, but I just came home after that adventure.

Aaaand I just got spoiled for both championship matches, which I'd managed to avoid so far.
Fucking time difference.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, I was sitting here this morning, and I got a surprise call from a friend who was on the highway 20 minutes away! So we went and had lunch, and I met her new boyfriend. Good times.

Roger's warm-up outfit makes him seem kind of douchey.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like his warm up outfit. It has a Michael Jackson feel to it which is kinda weird, though.
I wonder how much control they exercise over what they wear--Nike had Serena and Sharapova looking a bit like drum majorettes too, and with the same gold highlights. Just not the silly shoes.
After the match ended, Nike and Netjets bust out their Congrats on 15! ads. The Nike one made me tear up. A really great match, that was. I love tennis. I can't wait for the US Open and to see both those guys again, especially.

We did catch a bit of that 5th set while we were eating lunch. Am very excited for the open this year.
