You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Theo that's good--it's supposed to be in the 90s here today so the car trunk will easily be that hot.
Especially because I just tried to go running and damn it's so humid! I am so spoiled in Seattle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The shit is that, Tom???
You guys, I am HURTING this morning. My team (DESTROY ALL MEN) won at trivia last night, which, yay, but I did not need the free drink which was our prize. Yikes. Next time, maybe a free soda.

I did not go to my bar's trivia last night, but I heard there were scouts from NBC there.

Anyone have a London hotel recommendation? We'll have the 4-year old with us, although she has already told us she'd prefer Paris to check on Madeline.
First full week of classes, and the air conditioning is out in our section of offices!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
When we traveled to London with the kids we rented a flat in Islington through airbnb instead of a hotel - much cheaper and more room to stretch out.

Ooh. There would not be scouts at this trivia.... I think there were six teams playing, including the bartenders, and the guy who does it immediately knew who my friend was waiting for (she was not there when we went last month).

not your mom's socks.
Jesse, I doubt this ranks for goodstuff with all the famous on the internet (eee famous on the internet!) going on, but I thought you guys should know that my neighbor's new dog is lethally cute and makes me super happy even when I've had 3 hours' sleep: [link]
Sparky, there's a family-friendly lodgings list here: [link]
And an android app: [link] And a bunch of iThing apps: [link]
OK, eeeek. If you have extra nonspecific but kind of literary shaped~ma, can you aim it this way today if you're so inclined? For no reason. None. Many thanks.

Thanks, Sox - I found that list before and it is not helpful since their cheapest hotel on that list (with availability) is about $700/night. The first one listed for our dates is just over $1800/night.
