Woo hoo, Barb! Just got to watch the video. Well done. Also, count me as another klutz/dancer.

Man, I just checked, and there's no CSTS event in NOLA. Where are all the Cajun Browncoats? Foo. Maybe we'll have our own mini-viewing.

Had lunch with a friend today (I was 15 min late - he was an hour late) and then went to the grocery store and the hardware store for stuff to restore the finish on all my furniture that I scratched the shit out of in the move. And then, taking Frankie for his pre-dinner walk, we stopped to watch 6 yo boys learn to play baseball. Man, funniest thing I have seen in a looong time. Kids on base kept running after the ball, they would hit and forget to run - non-stop hilarity. I'm going to be their biggest fan that doesn't have a kid on the team.

Sorry to be Skipper McSkipperson (again): Bonny if you're around please shoot and email to findsassafras at gmail dot com. We have a favor to ask!

I like that Real Genius review. That's the movie that won me a European holiday, I've always had a soft spot for it.

Oh--I wasn't comparing my brains to Jordan's, at all. Rather her flitting from subject to subject with lack of apparent linear logic, and her bringing up subjects in the middle sort of at random. Randomosity R I. And apparently that's a little off-putting to some people.

My dance teacher keeps saying that all good dancers are incredible clods in real life

As someone who has worked with many professional dancers, this is entirely true. I've watched prima ballerinas walk into door frames in fully lit hallways. The focus is...elsewhere.

And then there are the people who just look at you a little wonderingly and say "I wish I could have heard the rest of that paragraph in your head." We like the people who get that we run on a slightly different track, but don't think that it's necessarily a bad thing.

CSTS San Diego is generally late July, to coincide with ComicCon, so you could catch that one...IJS. (I would happily put up the air mattress for you).

I also wanted to link to the new dress I bought on Monday as an early birthday present:

Now I just need an occasion or destination to wear it to.

Barb, I could only watch about half that video (stupid weird itchy irritated eyes, thank heavens I can type with my eyes closed), but

He said the back bend move was alarming. *snicker*

I gotta say, I was greatly impressed by the depth and grace of it. Also, you have delicious legs. Kinda wanna take a nibble.

Note to self: Stop rubbing your damn eyes, it doesn't help.

I thought you looked darling, darling!

Tell me, though -- when you put that dress on, did you just spin around in it a million times? Because I totally wouldn't have been able t stop myself.

Andi, try cold steeped tea bags on your eyes. Helps my allergy eye to feel less flamey.

You made everything look so effortless in that dance, Barb!

So today I have unexpectedly off. My org's fiscal year ends on 6/30, and I had a use-it-or-lose-it vacation day, and no meetings scheduled today. So my manager said, "Off you go."

I'm thinking of getting a massage, then biking over to a nearby coffee house for a day of books and fic.
