My flight dreams almost inevitably turn into nightmares about not being able to get back down. Like I've mastered the mechanics of floating higher, but not the ones to float down.
They ran a commercial during the Olympics of one of the women snowboarders getting air, then going higher until she escaped atmo and headed out into space. It was supposed to be that River moment looking eagerly into the black, but inside I'm worrying, "How do you get back down?"
I was in my mid-to-late 20s when I had my ears pierced at the mall. I still only have the one hole in each lobe. StE got a single hole in his left lobe in high school, and then a second in the same lobe later on. StY has seven piercings up the left ear from lobe into cartilege, and six on the right. Plus tongue. He says "Nothing below the waist." I don't really want to know.
Matilda looks like she would never make a fuss or wear improper clothing. Why she's a perfect darling, you can tell from those pictures! Seriously, she's a cutie, and overflowing with personality.
I hope you're feeling better very soon, Allyson!
and overflowing with personality.
We have failed miserably at crushing her spirit.
Hah! As if you'd have had a chance. Whim of iron, that girl, evidently. And a serious cutiehead.

That ad always made me terribly sad. Partially the music.
I have 6 piercings in one ear and 3 in the other. For the last 6 months or so I have only been wearing earrings in the bottom holes since I can't wear jewelry in the dojo. It used to be that I wore the same earrings in the other 7 holes and just changed out the bottom ones. None of the holes had closed up though two were a bit tougher than the others. Now to see if I can sleep with them in. If not, I have to take them out before class tomorrow anyway.
I love that the marines were stumped by Charlie Brown.
I remember reading an article about a school in Queens where the cafeteria workers were trying to make foods that the kids, mostly immigrants, would eat. ... The cafeteria worker in charge of ordering the commodity foods was able to exchange and trade around a bunch of stuff to get a giant container of curry powder, but it took a whole lot of finagling.
I read that article too! It was really fascinating, and sad, because it was sooo difficult for them to work around the stuff they were given. I think that same article talked about how only a few of the cafeterias in the school system had actual kitchens (with like, stoves and ovens and stuff) and many only had, essentially, microwaves. So a lot of places couldn't really *cook* anything, which meant they were super limited in what they could make.
There are wines that aren't vegan? I had no idea. Oddly, the idea that some beers aren't vegan is vaguely pinging me, but the wine thing is making me go "bzuh?". Do tell?
Several of them have been denounced on conservative talk radio as socialists trying to indoctrinate our children.
Is it bad that, at this point, this makes me MORE likely to go for an idea??

...I read this first as "TRANNY". And then as "TYRA". Clearly my brain is SO TOP MODEL.

shrift, that is hilarious (and they are kind of hot). But please note, I am not asking. And they are not telling. No sirree bob.
I also love that they were stumped by the "Charlie Brown" portion of that song. Last wedding I was at, we got to that part of the song and went "....uh...."
Oh Jamie Oliver. The food may be "going to kill your childrens early", but your GRAMMAR is going to kill my listening to you early!
guess who was up until 3am?
not me.
