'Touched'
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.
Bike party kind of gets on my nerves with the "we are too cool for helmets" thing.
I'm just an observer, I have no idea about the politics of helmet within the leadership (FTR, I'm extremely WEAR A FUCKING HELMET. It saved my dad's life at least thrice. I would have lost him for sure at 15 were it not for one.)
Oh, thank goodness! The baking soda/vinegar didn't seem to work, so I tried the other internet suggestion of boiling water, and that seems to have done it! (Which actually makes a lot of sense, since it was only raw veg in there and cooked veg is softer, right?)
In terms of inflamtion. My Mom has gone on the nonightshades diet - no tomatoes, potatoes, sweet peppers (green peppers and such) no hot peppers, no chiles, no paprika, no red pepper, no eggplant, no tobacco. White and black pepper is still OK. It has helped her a lot. Warning: the science behind looks like total bullshit, but I'm not going to tell her to stop doing something that results in less pain. The nice thing about it is that if works, it works within 48 hours at most, usually a lot less so if you don't see improvement within a couple of days you can forget it. I know other people who it works for. I suspect what is going on is an allergy to those things rather than the reasons given.
Just got back from seeing our friend Brian in his one man show. he always brings his shows out here from NYC once a year for a couple of nights. It was in a tiny, 99-seat theater with hand-built risers. The show was great, and in the audience were some friends B recently worked with--Christopher McDonald, Courtney B. Vance and Tom Hanks. I was too shy to actually go meet Tom Hanks. B and his wife are staying with us, so we'll get to hear about the after-show shenanigans later.
Was Angela Bassett there? Whoo! She's my lady.
No wives, just the three guys. Vance was whistling and cheering throughout the show in a very adorable way.
Don't your have any friends with pickup trucks, ita?
You do! I have an F150 and even have a 7x12 trailer.
Vance was whistling and cheering throughout the show in a very adorable way.
Sweet.
Oh sure, TODAY it's nice and sunny, when I don't really have time to go to the beach and just washed my hair. I guess I can go down to the river for a bit instead.
Timelies all!
Heading to Pittsburgh for a housefilk today. (Normally this weekend would be Confluence, a convention in Pittsburgh. It was cancelled this year because the hotel they signed a contract with told them in April it was shutting down a week before the con dates, and they couldn't get another hotel.) Stopping at Falling Waters on the way back tomorrow because architecture.
Sandwich is super generous with the portobellos today. NOM.
Also time to turn the ac back on, humidity is creeping back up.
Gonna go pedicure when I finish this half.
