I'm with you, I did a double take myself :) It's the original trilogy or nothing for me. My friend J is distraught that his son likes Jar Jar Binks. I keep reassuring him that the kid is only 4 and he will grow out of it.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Having a bit of insomnia and a midnight snack, so I'm around for a bit, Maria, if you're out there reading.
Went back and read about sixty posts, since I was kind of skimming today on the phone.
Teppy, looking hot!
I am slightly embarrassed by my geek and pedantry.

Nora, I did pass your greetings on to the parade crowd. They say hi back.
Man, I don't love how some riders just pelt people with beads, including full bags of them. Our neighborfriend S dressed as a cowgirl bear today and people were just hauling off and whipping things at her. It gets a little scary. That's one reason Muses has been my favorite big parade so far (all female riders). Also, they had Patricia Clarkson as their honorary Muse!! I went all stupid geebling fangirl when she rode by in a giant shoe.
Also, dudes give the best throws to 1) kids and 2) hot chicks on guys' shoulders. @@ Not that I'm not drowning in beads at this point, but it's kind of annoying when it happens again and again and again. eta to be clear I do not begrudge the kids. Duh.

Aaand I'm still up. I left my hip belt in a house we're rebuilding and ten hours of standing today has totally messed me up. I took Flexeril, naproxen, and Tylenol with codeine an hour ago and did the trigger point thing, and it still hurts like a bitch. I might have to see if I can go get it tomorrow, and I will be wearing my Fuevogs for the rest of the parades.

Trifecta: I've realized that I have all the elements for a pretty rockin' ringmaster outfit, including a whip. Now just trying to decide if I'm going to wear it tomorrow or Tuesday.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Gurl, don't tease me like that...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The one full Mardi Gras season I did, I was swimming in beads. I gave so many away, kept so many, and threw away what my local family told me was no good. It was sad that the Zulu coconut didn't last. But there was way too much stuff.

Slow hospital connections make me hit post too often.

Eh, better to double-post than not post at all.

Ooh, I wanna do Mardi Gras someday.
I have been awake for three hours. When did I become an insomniac?? It's gonna be a long day at work.

not your mom's socks.
Thinking of you today, Maria and sending our love and support. Not just for today.
