Those side-saddle pictures are badass.
I saw robe-clad men riding side-saddle when I was in Morocco. They weren't jumping over anything and they were on donkeys, but it was still pretty cool to see.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I can make you a chocolate pots de creme, Lee! Or I could if I wasn't so tired and if I had some way to get it to you. But that is a thing I know how to make.
I was just thinking today how I kind of want to fly somewhere so I can try out Jetblue's new electronic boarding pass. Vegas came to mind...
It seems weird for anyone in Jesus and Mary Chain to have kids. I'm not sure why.

We need to make this happen

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's great about their version of the electronic boarding pass? I don't remember if I've flown them yet...

This is interesting. [link] Where would you live?
I'm currently in Shennendoah, but I'd like to be in Menominee.
And, now that it's in my brain:
Menominee
Do dooo da do da
Menominee
Do do da do
Menominee
Do doooo da do da, da do da, da do da, da do da do da do do do da do!

Steph, congratulations!
Greetings from the train to Galway. Ireland certainly has a lot of sheep, and some ponies with very thick necks. (These have been most of my sights on the train.) I love the wifi on the train, even it is spotty.
I had an evening and the morning in Dublin. I was just starting to feel like I was making sense of it when it was time to go. I have two days on the way back...but I am going to have to have more a plan than I would like to get shit done.
I went to see a play last night. It was pretty well done, except that it was 20 year olds playing character in their 50s and they didn't really go for the physicality of it. It was just over an hour long, thank god, because I was surviving on no sleep, but determine not to just crash.
I must not make any jokes about Gaelic being a fake language in Galway....

Art Crawl!!!
Woke up this morning to a local NPR story about the 5 year memorial of the 2/14 shootings. . .followed up by the story about Oscar Pastorius murdering his girlfriend.
Neither of these things made me eager to get out of bed.

That's why I don't wake up to the news anymore, sumi. Too often makes me want to hide under the covers.
Hooray Galway!

I don't know, yet, that's why I want to fly and find out. It's all in your phone now, I think, no printing out in the terminal needed, but I can't find where I was reading that.
