Timelies all!
Another quiet weekend here.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

About 45 minutes before I sign my new lease. (You've got to understand - it's been 17 years since I last moved.) I'm drinking tea and have the Dubai World Cup on tv. The announcers are British. They just pronounced Mario Gutierrez's name in such a bizarre way that I could never copy it. They didn't even pronounce "Mario" in a normal way. They had better luck with Jose Valdivia. (They just said Mario's name again - much, much better.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Are you moving on the first? I'm glad you found a place to have a new lease on!
It's all grey here today, supposed tone thunderstorms tomorrow. Excellent reason to put off mowing my lawn just a little longer.

I'm moving as soon as I sign my lease!
I really want to be out of here by Sunday night. We'll see if that can be managed.

Good luck on the signing and the move, sumi!
I don't want to do anything today. I wish it were raining. For the first time ever, I made myself coffee at home.
So here's a lovely story: A young woman who was one of my niece's best childhood friends went to MIT on full scholarship, and met a young man from Detroit, and fell in love. I have known her since she was about 8 years old, and last weekend she eloped and got married on a beach in Oregon.
That might be the most gorgeous set of wedding photos I have EVER seen. If their marriage is anything as lovely, they will have wonderful lives.

Those are lovely photos, Consuela. I love the contrast of the foofy dress and the woods.

Because books.
I especially love the distance shot with her feet off the ground. Really gorgeous pictures.

Yay sumi! 17 years seems a long time... but then I reflect that I've been in my "new" house for, um, 12 years.
Buying a house was so complicated that I'm astounded sometimes that anyone, ever, voluntarily buys another.

Yeah, that one really got me. I'm so happy for them. Nice very smart kids.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Such sweet photos!
I just sent off the list of prize winners for the writing contest I'm running this year. Eight kids, $6000 in total prizes. Seems like a lot of money, right? And I'm really happy because one of the winners is a kid I know well, and he's just such a great guy and he's done such great work for me over the years. And his father just died. Winning would be a nice bright spot for him in what must have been a really really crappy month.
