I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

And I don't have a security system!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, totally nothing. They shook my hand, walked in the office, and stood there looking around and filling out their paper. They asked if I had a security system and glanced at my locking file cabinet and asked if I had a shredder. And that was it, really.

Fascinating.

Still, that's the highest profile match she's ever played--being matched up against the Williamses meant grandstand.

That's super cool. Is your cousin as old as the Williamses? Because they are no spring chickens! (For professional athletes....)

Ugh, meara.

ION, I got a not-very-good haircut. The top layer is too short, so it's already Mrs. Brady mullet-y.

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

I told you to talk to Jon's FAQ!Wife who always has the cool haircuts for a local reference. But no! You wouldn't listen and now you've got a sad mullet of shame.

OTOH, you can always wear a cowgirl hat.

I will always try the cheapest closest place first! Just in case it's good enough. And who knows, maybe this will grow out OK.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

She's 27, which blows my mind. But her partner is 35, so...geriatric city, man.

Because books.

See, 27 sounds so young to me, but I know it's different for athletes.

Happy birthday, meara!

How does she even walk to the court at that age??

The other day I was just talking to Megs about how much I like Martina Navratilova, and she was saying how much she liked her, and it seems she called the match on TV? I dunno--I watched online. But my sister is the sort of person who video records herself watching TV and backseat commentating, so she also has notes.

To wit:

Quotes from Martina Navratilova:
"I really like the way Moulton-Levy plays. I can't believe I haven't seen her play before."

"I love her infectious energy. She just never stops."

I love the infectious comment. When she'd get sluggish and dispirited at age...10...the thing to yell at her was "Happy feet! Happy feet!" so I always watch her foot motion when she's waiting to receive serve, to see if they're happy, and they were happy today.

Is it possible for a jaw to pop out and then back into joint on one side doing something no more violent than taking a small bite from a not-tough wrap? Because I think I might have done that.

Went out to lunch at one of my favorite places [link] and halfway in that happened. A pop and my jaw wasn't too happy about having to align my teeth up normally. It got a little better forcing the issue, but after my swim was a little worse (jaw fairly slack while swimming) and then eating dinner, uhg. Seems aggravated by movement, so I guess there is some swelling back in the joint.

So.fucking.weird.
