Wow. I just watched the most exciting sporting event of the day. Anything else is going to be a letdown.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is it still going on? I just turned my TiVo on and it's still recording something that looked like tennis. Could have been replay--didn't hang out long enough.
Absolutely cannot sleep tonight. Tired of rolling about in bed. Time for tennis.

I had a complicated dream about touring England with my family, and was told in the dream that "theft pudding" is slang there for eating pilfered food. So far as I can Google, my brain seems to have made this phrase up.
I think I'm a little in awe at my brain, because it sounds so to me like a phrase that should exist, you know?
Also, Hippo Birdies to Olivia! I also believe this may be Somervillain Ellen S.'s birthday....

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Wow. I just watched the most exciting sporting event of the day. Anything else is going to be a letdown.
Not wrong. That was fantastic. I had people over for an afternoon game of Battelstar Galactica, my brother and a friend of his stuck around for the tennis.

Maybe the SuperBowl will live up to the tennis match. It is supposed to be Super, after all. Not that I'd ever know. Never watched an entire pro football game.

“Not dead yet!”
Well, Super Bowls are either historically really, really good or absolutely terrible. There's rarely anything in between.
Sometimes you know going in which way it's going to go, sometimes, there's a sense of mystery. This year's has kind of a sense of mystery about it because you'd think it would be a blowout, given the participants, but I don't know. I suspect we'll know within the first few minutes.

Our wings are not tired.
Ugh, I missed the tennis. I wonder if it will replay on some station or if I can find it to have running while I prep for Super Bowl. I don't have a clear favorite for SB, but lots of good food. My heart belongs to the Steelers, but I couldn't feel bad if the Cardinals surprise people.
Want a great game, fabulous half time, super ads. I'll settle for good company and food.

I also believe this may be Somervillain Ellen S.'s birthday....
It is indeed!
Sigh, our bed frame finally kicked the bucket and now we are looking at dealing with getting another one- and I think we are going to upgrade to a king (so we all have space with both cats on). We want to do the IKEA thing, although transportation will be an issue...

IKEA is a bit of a genius about breaking down large things into manageable boxes. I once drove up from NJ with a boxed lounge chair securely tied down to the roof of my little Honda....
