Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's lovely.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Electric blue or royal blue?

Denim. Indigo. I guess. We'll see when I get there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So pretty, ita!

I was also trying to figure out what the cartoon silhouette for the Oughts would look like. I guess the 90s is now signaled by flannel/Grunge.

Hipster-rific, or Jersey Shore inspired?

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

I was just noticing that the women at the Wholefoods near work seem to be wearing the most expensive (well, not LA expensive--Lululemon, the like) but pristine exercise clothes. They just look...shiny, and not in a sweaty way.

Exactly! Same thing with their shoes. It's like super comfy supportive exercise gear but it's there to support their tired achey bodies instead of a physically stressed body.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Without the lights, no one would notice the elephants.

It's quite unclear whether people can make out the unlit elephants. It's a big grey area.

Heh.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I admit I wore my exercise gear all day. I usually do, unless I can manage a shower right after class.

Oh, you guys, today's classic story from my grandmother: She was telling us about her cousin who would come visit in the summers. He had a really cute Irish girlfriend for years, but one year he came with a PITA new girlfriend, who was even less pretty than the Irish girl! So apparently my great-grandmother said she was going to get him to marry her, and she did. "Well, I guess my mother was right.... She was better in bed." Me, mock-horrified: "But how would he know that before they got married????" My grandmother: "They lived in New York."

Hah, Jesse, that's awesome.

Cass, thanks for your hard-won wisdom. My sister & I are trying to keep an eye on Dad without trampling his independence, but he's also kind of lonely, so it's a hard balance. Anyway, I booked flights for us both to go to Colorado to see my brother & his family, and then Dad will go on to Chicago to see my oldest brother and his restaurant.

Today, we took him to church and then had a nice Father's Day brunch and a walk in the woods & strawberry-rhubarb pie. (Which turned out far better than I expected, since I was convinced the inside would be sweet red soup.)

He seemed pleased, but tired and he seems to have very little stamina. Which makes me worry a little about going to Colorado; we're going to Crested Butte for part of the trip, which is even higher than Boulder.

Anyway. I just hope he can get some real enjoyment out of life for a while.
