What a great kid, Tommy. If he landed a 36-inch muskie, he's a hell of a fisherman.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

tommy, that is a wonderful article! I hope he's keeping a scrapbook for this kind of stuff.
I would comment about what has happened in Norway, except thinking about it just makes me want to cry. And then rage and scream, none of which does any good. At least I have ~ma to send outward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In what may be a coincidence, Adele is on Ghraham Norton tonight. So I am getting to know.

Oofdah, long day at the ballfields. Left the house at 7:45am and got back at 9:45pm.
We won the first two games and lost the last game by one run. We had the tying run at third and Emmett at the plate and he drove the ball deep to left center but they caught the ball and that was that. Still, if we win our game tomorrow morning we should have a rematch with this team in the finals and I think we've got a good shot.
Considering he didn't play Juniors this year, and opted not to play with his JV team, Emmett has looked really good. The first tournament he was a little off until the last game, but he's gotten his groove on and he's catching well and hitting the ball hard.
He was bummed about the third game, but he hit the ball hard twice to the outfield for outs, and drove in another run with an infield hit, and made a running catching in Right Field.
We're both pooped but leaving the house again tomorrow morning at 7:45.

I lasted until nearly 7 and feel your pain.
Love that minnow story. Get that kid on Bass Masters already.

Go Max! What a nifty kid, Tommyrot.
The whole far right, anti-immigration thing is scary. I'm sad to see it's an issue in Norway. Or anywhere, really, but the Nordic countries have such an open, egalitarian, sane rep.

So, here I am, ready to work. Unfortunately, I forgot that my Sunday shift has been shifted from 6 AM to 7 AM. Oh, well, at least the Internet filters are off.

I am having people over in two hours to watch Doctor Who. I should be showering and getting booze and snacks. Instead, I am writing Discworld fic. Priorities!
