Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I'll help, Liese!

Okay! And dude, whining about moving is completely justifiable. We will empathize and make nodding motions with our heads while you whine. Go for it.

I just tried to take a nice soothing Sunday nap. But then I had two exciting nightmares, involving a) stranger danger! Someone working on the neighboring lot (true, happened recently, but is over) and peering in my bedroom window at me in my bed, asking if I had a dog (not even physically possible). I should have been cued in by the giant field of cornstalks visible through the window, but although I pinged to that, my subconscious scrambled and tried to show that it was only a few cornstalks, honestly, and they were just growing there by accident. Like, from my birdseed. Swears. My subconscious needs to be quicker on the uptake, because I didn't really believe it and that's what woke me up.

And then b) Jilli font one featuring giant spiders the size of my foot which had evolved a new way to use its webbing as basically a trapeze, from which it swung out along the carpet (I don't have carpet) and attacked other insects, which it could then retract and swing back to its web. My first instinct was to find my Flip to record it for you all. Then I realized there were a bunch more and I'd probably have to kill them. I woke up still searching for my camera. But thankfully, just a dream! I feel positively perky now, though.

Now I'm sorry there's no video.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

David, that ice cream truck story is BANANAS. I see a novel in that, but not a war novel, more like a crazy time-travel thing.

I suggested a Wes Anderson movie, but I could also totally see a comic episode of Dr. Who with that scene in it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

AUGH football.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Eek, Liese, those sound scary.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

meara, that is...interesting.

Ack. Can't watch the end of football. Maybe with my fingers over my eyes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It turned out okay, Dana. You can look.

My gayboy friends bought it for me--apparently they were at the bizarro sex store "Lovers" (trashy for straight people in the weird burbs--I think they won a gift cert there during a conference) and it was on major sale. Unshockingly.
