Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Well, tonight's adventure was a pole-dancing class!

I do not have the arm/shoulder/core strength for pole dancing. I could do the sexy walking just fine, but everything else was awkward and ow-filled. Gonna check how much the intro sessions are though, I think it might be good for me. But I think it's expensive.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I guess I should be glad that their bathroom habits aren't part of the medical woes my folks frequently discuss. (Their woes and those of other people- it's one of the standard topics of conversation in Florida I guess)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am doing the most minor things I somehow haven't been able to manage recently -- activating new credit cards, looking into getting a MA license. I'm thinking I'll go to the RMV (aka DMV) in the afternoon, because EVERYONE says get there when it opens. Does that seem crazy? I figure there are the people who go first thing, and the people who go over lunch, so midafternoon might not be too bad. (I can't get an appointment.)

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

You never know. I just always expect to wait, even with an appointment, but sometimes I am pleasantly surprised.

Yeah, I guess the actual answer is "you never know."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I love my brother enough to iron my clothes for his graduation. I seriously can't remember the last time I ironed anything.

This is why I buy all my shirts in rayon. In the dryer for 15 minutes = ironing.

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

Watching the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Not sure why.

Because LUTHER. Holy shit, that was the best.

That was exactly my response. That and wondering if that means I am one degree of separation from Obama or two.

Dang it, I was going to do some work but I can't connect. Can't tell if the problem is mine or theirs. Oh well, maybe I will try to go in early tomorrow.

There are government offices open on Sundays? Such a world.
