Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Because books.

brenda, the peacock print is the one I love! Just the print, though.

Watched Cadillac Records as part of my prep for The Losers. I'm psyched.

Whyfor, now? Man, I need to check on when The Losers is coming out.

Steph, I just spent 20 minutes writing a response and hit a wrong key and lost it. I'll try to respond tomorrow.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Cool, thanks!

I'm walking away from the sudoku and unruly numbers (6 is a FUCKER) and going to bed.

brenda, I'm very much where you are. I'm a little freaked out at the sizing. The shape keeps changing, especially with the swimming, and it's been over 3 years of steady loss, though only really noticeable over the past year (amazing the difference between maybe 200 (I don't know if was that, since my scale lied, but possible) to 170 vs 170 to 150 is.)

I like that I'm strong. I'm incredulous I am buying basically size 6 professional suits ( I go from hard to find cause it's big to hard to find cause it is common? How is that fair??) Do I have a realistic perception of my shape? I don't know. Weird seeing veins in my limbs.

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

I sent my sister these pics from The Losers and the heretic said "Who's that ugly guy Zoe's messing with?" WhatEV. I'm going to tie her down and force feed her Supernatural one of these days. But she did pipe up and say she really liked Columbus Short from Cadillac Records as well as Idris Elba. Netflix had Cadillac on instant play, so I gave it a shot. I quite liked it, and Columbus was very good. Not sure about his action credentials, but Idris and JDM and Chris Evans totally have that covered for me. Nom nom nom.

Want. Gimlet. With fresh lime juice and a touch of simple syrup. Am salivating from thought.

One of those should freeze pretty well too, right? Just a perfect thing to have on hand.

Indeed, and that's why is so very, very dangerous.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I just found this recipe for vodka gimlet straight up:

That is a brilliant idea. Thanks.

I need to grade tomorrow, but technically I'll be on break, which means I should have time to check out the Liberty prints at Target, maybe get some sheets.

We had a full day. Food fight party was an awe-inspiring mess, but the kids had fun. Came home and bathed them pretty much immediately. Now I'm tired.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But I feel awesome.

That's the main thing, yes?

Personally I'm at a fairly sluggardly physical place and will need to find some way to burn calories that doesn't ping my knees. My sched won't accommodate swimming, so it might be bicycling with Emmett. But that's tough to do during baseball season with games or practice (in the East Bay - hence 2 hours of commuting on top of warmup/game).

I actually can run the steps at Kezar Stadium which is across the street (hence effortless to get to the exercise), but it's grindy, no-fun exercise. Frankly, I miss tennis. Burned lots of calories and enjoyed myself.

That might mean an extra purchase of vodka. Oh, woes.
