Timelies all!
Just got back from daytripping Intervention, a local con. Alex Kingston(subbing for Arthur Darvill) and Rene Auberjonois were the two big guests.
Tomorrow we're hoping to get to the Renaissance Faire.
Atherton: Half the men in this room wish you were on their arm, tonight. Inara: Only half. I must be losing my indefinable allure.

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.

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

OK, so opposite of how I felt about the outfit I work for (after them raising the starting pay of people doing my job without raising mine), One of the other things they do is called Camp Noah, a portable day camp experience that goes around to places where natural disasters or other traumatic things happened, focusing on teaching resiliency skills to kids who have been through the wringer. I helped make tie blankets to give to kids the year they went to Sandy Hook. They sent Camp Noah to Ferguson last summer. I am so proud.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That's wonderful, WS.

WS, I wish you could be proud AND paid fairly. But that's still wonderful.
Sheryl, I saw Alex Kingston for the first time at DragonCon this year. (I think. Am I right, Dana?) How did you find her?
I'm somewhere over the Northwestern Territories. While Business Class is pretty great, I'm pining for my bed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, I think it was the first time she'd been there.
I am awake and resentful, and hoping I'll be able to go back to sleep.

And Jesus Christ, there was an explosion in Manhattan. No one dead, thank god. I am already sick to my stomach thinking about what Trump will say.

Thanks, Scrappy and shrift.

Our wings are not tired.

As expected, except I thought he might thump his chest and insist tough guy save us now.

Took a quick look at Camp Noah. Thanks to all who do things to help. It is so important.

Avocado Egg Salad:
Thanks to whatever Buffista exclaimed about the yumminess of this. Maybe Teppy? Finally made some today and it is quite tasty. FL avocados are quite different from the CA varieties, so lighter and sweeter, but yum.
