"Are you going home for Xmas?" Home= NM. My home? Baltimore, my house. Traveling with frequent bedchanges? Back to the hotel/camp/tent/whatever.

Also, apropos of nothing, the broken lamp that I scored for free from our favorite hotel near the defunct music festival, that I fixed over the summer trip, now has a functioning 3 way cfl bulb in it and is working! Yay me learning how to do something new! Now to hit the thrift stores for a cool shade.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It took me 46 years, but I finally got to the point where home was something other than my parents' house in Altadena.

Northern Michigan feels like home to me right now. But I'd miss my friends. And employment.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Good god, sara, you panicked me that I'd somehow missed the final.
Apparently Radisha and Bolt were trying to meet in the middle and compete against each other in the four by four. Must be nice to have the Olympics be your playground, huh? I mean, when you qualify for the event...
As far as I can tell, Bolt's not on the 4x1 team? That can't be right. I'm reading something wrong: [link] .

Oh, and home is Jamaica, and the house we moved into when I was 8, but Jamaica in a larger sense. And then, this apartment is home, obviously. I guess it's the difference between where I live and where I'm from--I'm sure some useful language makes that distinction.

Hah, sorry. I don't understand how relays work. Seems like Bolt is out of it, but tomorrow will tell.

Apparently he gets to skip the prelims. Blake ran the heat, but Weir (who took bronze in the 200) didn't either. So they get to field whoever?
Makes sense from the coach's point of view, in terms of keeping your resources fresh and injury free, but as the ref, I'm not sure I'd allow it...it's not like I can work out how they'd cheat...if you field sucky guys to start, you risk not qualifying. If you field them to end, you risk losing.
It just seems...improper.
I had to flip through my tumblr and hide the Arrested Development entries. My sister just sent me a picture of the 200m winners. A picture. How darling! I told her I had seven million (I had just posted a 4 pic photoset before checking mail) and she asked for the URL. Damn, man--my tumblr has been a whole lot of black green and gold, with a side of Teen Wolf and the least Supernatural ever for a three day period.
Bad ita !

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Man, I am having the classic post-road-trip dilemmas. Am I more tired or more hungry? Do I want to be online enough to figure out where I left the dongle? I already made myself make plans for the next two days. AND I brought in the stuff from the car, which didn't happen for three days last time. Surely that's enough, right, and I can rest on my laurels?

Liese, if you come to SF, your road trip wouldn’t be over, and then you wouldn’t have to decide.
