Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

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

Woo, Sheryl! I have never been to Malice Domestic but I like the cut of its jib.

That makes me feel better, Burrell. I have not had that moment with this movement when what my teacher says and what my body is doing click and I at least feel like I have a "right" memory to try to recapture when I practice. Presenting Pea Pod sounds like what we are calling Giving the Gift, which comes immediately after Fist Under Elbow (which comes right after a transitional bit that my teacher said "it doesn't have a name, let's call it 'The Duck' and someone else says 'Scarecrow' and someone else says 'Double Whip' but whatever you call it I know how to do that bit) and is also in the Monkey Qi Gong we do although it appears in two directions and with another variation so that doesn't help me know where my weight is supposed to be in this point of the Form. Maybe practicing straight up walking meditation going backwards more would help.

Woohoo, sarameg! I hope you get help with the workload somehow.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What kind of art and how much of it, Hec? (Asking to see if it's something I could offer to help with.)

Awww! Buffistas always got your back. I think we'll sort it out. The Weasel seems to be volunteering to finish his work before he leaves.

Hey. I'm on a Marvel project that also has a weasel fucker who blows deadlines and never takes responsibility. Maybe it's a thing with them.

Heh. Not an actual Marvel person.

(We're not pitching a comic - as fun as that would be. We're pitching our patent-pending technology for them to license. But our licensing guy has done a lot of work with them and has frat brother connections with the higher ups.)

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

This meeting is with Ike Perlmutter?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Buffistas work with Marvel, geeking out...

Weaselfuckers are everywhere. Watch your hindquarters, weasels.

Today I'm scrambling to not be the weaselfucker who blows the deadline, but this deadline already got blown and had a cigarette and got blown again, so what's one more weaselfucker in the den.

Coding and Sleeping

Weaselfuckers is a figurative term, right? After piggate in the UK I'm just not sure anymore.

The status is NOT quo.

No weasels were harmed in the creation of this attraction.

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

Oh! Wait! *That* move, the one in second set with the actual fist. Yeah, your teacher goes way faster than mine does. Or rather, you are lucky to be in class where everyone is moving at the same pace. My beginners class was cancelled so now I am trying to keep up with the folks in the intermediate class and they are way past me, so I'm at this weird place where I have first set down and then my second set is a jumble. Not that I mind too much, I figure if I keep going to class and practicing, it eventually comes together.

Also deadline got blown, had a cigarette, and got blown again is a hilarious line. Kudos, Zen!
