My sister has the naive belief she rocked it harder than I was going to do. Nuh-huh. (She gave me my style props when we went out in JA, though)
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Why are wedding pictures so great?? I don't even know those people!

I think I need to read this distance swimmer's books: [link] Heard an interview with her on The Story (about her encounter at 17 with a baby gray whale) and then went and read some other articles by her. Um, yes. When Oliver Sacks and Temple Grandin are writing stellar reviews....
While I have no driving desire to beat records or swim in Antarctic waters, she speaks my language when it comes to the water.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I heard an interview with her a while back. She was fascinating, and I have no particular interest in swimming. So, probably even more fascinating to someone ho can relate to some of what she's talking about.

ita, your sister does look great in those pictures. Also, I love the trend of candy tables at weddings.
Lynne Cox's book is good, but I don't think she does such a fab job capturing her experiences. What makes the book is the experiences she had, not her ability to recount it as a writer.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
So what goes better with Indian food: white wine or red?
The viognier is good. Something with some sweet or some fizz (part of why beer works is that people think fizzy wine cannot be an everyday wine and it SO can) works nicely with strongly spiced foods.
Why do adults pick chunks out of the tops of muffins AND PUT THEM BACK IN THE BOX?
They were raised by rabid and unsocialized squirrels. And should be denied muffins forever. Do not do that. It is gross.
That wedding looks like such fun. But your outfit would have rocked it more. There was tulle and fluffied skirts. Obviously that rocks harder.

I think part of her appeal, at least in interviews, is her giddy enthusiasm. I mean, damn: [link] (12 minute piece.) Halfway through her Antarctic swim, as she's flagging, she giggles and rallies.
I read a piece in (NYer? ) that I think was an except from her Amundsen book, and liked it. But I grew up reading all my dad's polar expedition books, some of which are worth a shitton of money now ( on,Amundsen, Perry, Scott, Cook, Shackleton, etc) and thus have a real soft spot for the topic. And never, ever, EVER want to do a real polar expedition.

What was the venue? I see signs for lisah's wedding location in the background of some pix (Baltimore Museum of Industry.)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
it might take you 5-10 minutes, but 1) it might take your coworker much longer
Probably true. I can magically access the Financial database and pull what he wants into a pretty pivot table. Which I know is Greek to many of the engineers.
Time to move it to the freezer and take stock.
