Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter  

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

What is even happening?

Kat, how are you doing? I keep thinking about you and worrying.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

If it's her Krav headshot, it's even more fitting.

The status is NOT quo.

Definitely the krav headshot.

How are we having this conversation? It’s so wrong.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Love all those pics but agree the headshots are the best choice for a published obit. Which is not my favorite prose form btw.

Oh! But I need to add: WHAT IS WITH THE LINKS, PEOPLE?!? Is that really the way we want to commemorate ita?

There are moments when I just have to stop and put my head on the floor and yell. Or a few in the pool I know happened because I see the times and they coincide with me frantically stroking to escape a reality crossing my brain. Do not want.

Yes?

You mean the bad ones? What better way? She'd cackle, that's enough.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Cindy, I'm okay. I've been pretty distracted and guilty feeling all week. And weepy. And my own kids aren't so super excited at my distraction.

But I have been writing. I have three things I'm working on, but the one I keep composing in my head is an abcederian about ita. sarameg and I started making a list of words that describe her. Then I'm trying to go back and mentally compose the paragraph that goes with each word. sara and I stopped when we got to Q, I think.

If you wanted to know the words I have so far: Audacious, Balanced, Charming, Devoted, Egalitarian, Fulsome, Gregarious, Hilarious, Integrity (this is the perfect word, but the wrong form for parallel structure) Judgmental, Kinky, Louche, Masterful, Nut-Kicking, Omnipresent, Polymath (and Precise and Provocative).

(Other two things I'm working on -- an article for a journal on the pain of learning, how learning is not some lovely process, but it's scary and pretty horribly challenging of personal concept and a piece on how to teach argument for a different journal).
