I have been TiVOing all the broadcasts and am at least 1 day behind.
I am also tired as a tired thing that is tired. stupid dreams of nothing important but nonsense that I swear keeps my brain active all night.
Tonight I have coffee with a friend though and that will be good.
oh oh oh and at work yesterday I talked a bit with another department that will have an opening either by the end of this year or beginning of next. seemed receptive and to understand without me having to say much exactly why a move would be good.
I agree that a blocky red white and blue pattern might stop people from buying it because they don't want to look too much like the flag (this is absolutely never a problem with Jamaica's black, green, and gold, FTR, but I have not seen what our athletes jacket up in this year--but Puma sells our colours deliberately year round, and I see them on the streets both in LA and Jamaica)--however, the patch on the front is illegible from more than a few feet away, and jury's out on the back, since that evidence has not gone in front of the court.
But couldn't there be some sort of a compromise, of a mostly-grey jacket, but with distinctive red, white, and blue trim that is visible both on the back and front? I mean, you guys do still like your flag, don't you?
My TV is showing me ten-day old clouded leopard cubs. I approve.
There's a character named Zoe in Suits, and it's weirding me out seeing Gina Torres call someone that. Jessica couldn't be less like Zoe (except that they're totally amazing and rock), but I still get whiplash.
Hey ita, the CBC did a mini doc on why Jamaica is so dominant in track and field. (I have to admit, I only watched the beginning, it came on as I was going to bed.)

Thanks Sue--I'll have a look.
I have lunch with two Buffistas today! LALALALA!!!
YAY!
(This almost never happens in KC; allow me my gloat! And two, I think, 'Ffistas I have not met F2F! WOO!)
You weren’t at the Chicago F2F, Strix?
Ha ha, I have defeated technology and managed to start streaming tennis at a crucial point in the match that's currently airing!
Strix was in Chicago. To be fair, I was too, and I completely blanked that I "met" Plei. It felt so big and it was so weird having to learn to talk to one or two people at a time, instead of everyone!
I have three somewhat random things to share/ask:
1. Would you consider David Bowie Classic Rock? For some reason it is driving me crazy that he is classified that way in a Facebook game.
2. This is literally the cutest thing I have ever seen. A baby wombat and a baby kangaroo (orphans) who SHARE THE SAME POUCH!!!!! [link]
3. I just read a post on Jezebel about zoos culling the baby animals, and it is making me so sad. It wouldn't if I didn't spend so much time looking at baby zoo animals on zooborns-- I don't want to look at pictures of animals before they are killed!
