Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Because books.
God, I feel old.
In other news, Trader Joe's frozen pork shu mai are incredible. I have to remember to have these in the freezer at all times.

Those are good shu mai, yes.
I'm gonna take a stand and say that that "holy shit" that got broadcast while the jockeys were miked up after the race was entirely appropriate. Also, I'm pleased to learn about a professional athlete who is not much younger than me.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
We just bought ALL THE THINGS at Trader Joe's, including what looks like nommy gouda with pesto for what has become our friends' annual Cheese Ball (really, it's just a party where everyone brings cheese but we all dress up really fancy -- or whoever wants to dress up fancy does, and everyone else wears what they want). I also snagged some brie for myself, because brie.
And we have reached the time of the year where there's no room in the fridge because we buy so much produce. I can't control myself around berries.
And I have ice on my leg because I whacked the inside of my knee (the part that's really fleshy if you're a big fat panda like me) on our cast-iron pedestal tub. I stepped in with my left leg and my foot slid, which made me lurch forward, and so the inside of my right knee whacked the lip of the tub really hard. It started to bruise immediately. I think perhaps brie will be therapeutic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Man, that sounds perfect.

My parents gave me an Ancestry.com membership for my birthday. I'm looking at the 1870 census, marveling at a very distant uncle whose name was Elphiges. What a name.

I want to go to there. I wonder if there's any way I can make something like that happen near me. I don't know anyone with a house like that, though. Love.
Ooh, fun, Dana!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The cheese ball sounds like a heck of a lot of fun. Also, yummy!
In other news, I have discovered that while both cats are surprisingly meh towards catnip, both of them LOVE lemongrass, and would eat my plant down to nubbins if I allowed them.
I gave them a long leaf from the plant and each grabbed an end and started nomming, leading to a very Lady and the Tramp moment.

All you need is a place to gather (big-ass swanky house not required) and people who are willing to dress up fancy and bring cheese. And the fancy dress isn't even a requirement. It's just an excuse to eat as much cheese as possible.
Last year, someone really did bring one of those giant clear plastic tubs of neon orange puffed cheese balls. Which I ate.
