Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I want to go to bed, but even that idea bugs because of course mac can't/won;t do what is needed to get the pets all set for bed.

There was a 60 Minutes filmed when she was imbedded and working on the Petraeus biography. It showed how she had been running every morning with Petraeus and I did think, "There's something off about this."

I have the same thing. I resorted to exercise. That's how bad it was.

Ginger,

did you think she was too close to him?

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

Was it the act of running, or something about how it was done?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Ginger is very suspicious of running.

There was something about the way she talked about running with him. Maybe it's just because I can't imagine getting up at 6 and running several miles every day for a biography.

I know people are people (so why should it be....) but it's always fascinating to bump into a scandal of a group where you know no one and nothing about what's going on.

For reasonably random reasons I stumbled onto a professional suspension bondage brouhaha where there was an accident and the bottom fell and some people (including the bottom) feel that it was poorly handled--both unprofessional and irresponsible when it comes to top/bottom trust and understanding.

It's weirdly relaxing to be able to pick sides and ooh and ahh and have no fucking idea about context, but then again, it doesn't matter, because no ramifications whatsoever.

And to think! Just a random click away from Japanese improvised dildos! I love the internet.

I needed the distraction, because I got in the middle of a (white American) poster telling a (black African) poster that her reaction to the blanket descriptor of "Africa" in scenarios where the European country would probably be specified was prejudiced and problematic. Realising that it's not my place to start slinging "whitesplaining" around, because...not African, no matter how much I think I understand the POV espoused, and not the poster in questions. But, seriously...sometimes you want to say "Can you hear you right now?" but need to distract yourself with other communities and their drama so you don't shit in one of your backyards.

Checking out Once Upon A Time. It gets grey, right? Because Ginnifer Goodwin's character is barf-o-matic right now.

eta:

I can't imagine getting up at 6 and running several miles every day for a biography.

Isn't that part and parcel of embedded behaviour?
