Man, I don't know if we even have peas yet. I swung by the farmers' market last night and it looked like all lettuce (and pea shoots, etc.) and a few strawberries.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I haven't been swimming yet this summer, much to my dismay, but when I do I do all backstroke because I am a wuss and don't know how to breathe. But I do weave like a mofo. (Do motherfuckers weave a lot in their swim lanes?) I weave like a Navajo grandmother. So I really can't share lanes, and basically wimp out whenever I would have to. I need to take lessons, but my pool, although they claim to have adult lessons "sometimes," have never yet done so since I started going. I assumed I'd be at the lake by now and able to swim every day, but no, I'm at the folks' place. There is a pool at the short-term apartments next door, and they did at one point tell my folks they could use it, but they never have, and I'm too skurred to ask.

"As they take the turn for the last 50 meters, Phelps in the lead with Oedipus closing fast. And Oedipus has gone completely out of his lane and collided with Phelps! A shocking development. I'm not sure how they'll rule this one."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Poor Oedipus. He should have considered his competitive swimming career before blinding himself.

Also, could this be an effective putdown?

Maybe at a Classics Department meeting?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am doing my Saturday morning with nothing to do dance! It looks an awful lot like sitting on the sofa drinking coffee, but it's a dance on the inside.

I didn't mean to kill the thread.
I guess this means I need to get dressed and actually do stuff though.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I did that dance! Except I actually have stuff to do, so I probably should stop.
I offer without comment: Cthulhu slippers.
