I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sounds like a nice sunday! Crazy how fast kids grow up.

Was going to head to the pool, but I just got sat on by the cats and so I'm trapped for a bit.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Haha sarameg. It's never too long ago for acrimony!

My last bathroom dream was the opposite...it was at a walmart or something and the door was huge! Massive metal door I had to heave aside. So I woke up and went to the bathroom, where I have a pocket door. It's fine, subconscious!

This morning's dream was that I was wearing a fancy dress in a fancy hotel but no shoes. I got in trouble for it but didn't know where they were, so was speculating if I should go back to my room and get my slippers instead. And then I rode down the carpeted escalator which should have been a clue.

Initial report on the beet pesto: very good! Flavorful and moist but not very sweet.

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

Birds fed, avocados and grapes watered, some dishes washed, and free-standing lattice "privacy screens" ordered. I'm planning on using those last to hold up the roses from taking over the porch, mainly, for which I need three panels, but the stands were easiest to get in a pack of ten (two for each panel), so I got two extra panels that I hope will be okay as a makeshift dog barrier for the garage. And if that doesn't work I'm sure I can find some other use for them.

SERIOUSLY?!! I just looked outside and it is slushing. Or really small hail. The fuck?

And now I've got to walk in it to go to the pool, ook.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Yeah, we got that yesterday. But now it's 52, so if you're getting our weather a day later, you get warmer weather tomorrow.

And almost 70 and sunny tomorrow for Opening Day, thank ya Lord. Let's play some damn baseball already.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You are quite welcome.

A few more dishes washed, 3 servings of braised cabbage with pork, and 2 more servings of pork to be served with a vegetable to be named later in the fridge, and broccoli soup started. Along with the lettuce and radishes ready to become salad that'll just about get me through the week.

nice to see you, ita! ---

I was out of town for most of last week, and so, I have been shocked to see TWOP boards closing down. The content will be archived, but removed from public viewing.

This is all too much WTF the fuck for me. Twop is something I've followed and participated in (previously more actively than the present) and I cannot get over how unceremoniously its demise is.

It's like Salon all over again.
