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

Let your unfiltered id run amuck in the review, shrift! That seems like a really good idea to me right now.

Warning: that is rarely a good idea to someone not pounding the Icelandic cocktails.

PS, where can I get one of these Icelandic cocktails? Sounds delicious.

I have had one glass of wine and that's it. Really shouldn't feel this tipsy. I blame the 100 degree weather. And maybe the lack of sleep.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I worked out. by myself. at my house. strength no weight circuit and then cardio. baby baby workout because I am out of shape like woah. 3 songs of dancing and I was out. my knees hurt from half push ups. and mountain climbers? what the holy fuck are those things about? jesusita.

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

Oh, right, football starts tonight. I'm in denial because I have a conflict with my team's opener. That is how much I need to meet Sox; this is a non-trivial sacrifice, my friends. IJS.

Way to go msbelle!

PS, where can I get one of these Icelandic cocktails? Sounds delicious.

I brought the bottles home from the Reykjavik airport, so, um, idk? But yes, delicious.

Contrasting with the super local (grown in the valley between here and Napa) white wine which is also pretty good. I'm pretty sure alcohol is objectively a bad idea in this heat, but it seems to be helping...

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

It may be wrong, but delighted that the whole thing went askew so that your bailing was vindicated. Good instincts there, Zen!

Well, you know, I don't want things to go badly for other peoples' fun, but if it's gonna, I appreciate getting a subspace wave from my instincts!

Our wings are not tired.

Psssst we can have the game on in the living room if you don't want to TiVo it! We will mostly be outside on the deck I think, but just in case. :)

Out-of-shape high five. Gently, lest we pull something.

I deep-cleaned the upstairs bathroom yesterday and I feel like I went to the gym.

That's very sweet, Nanita! I know I can't be social and watch the game, though. Between the DVR and GamePass I should be okay - I'll just lie to myself about the liveness, I've done it before. It works.

Love this description!

Did I mention that I have ice cubes in my wine? Because I am classy like that. And it's super hot.

Okay than we shall have a strict NO SPORTS SPOILERS policy so that when you go home the game will be fresh to enjoy!

The Niners have pissed me off so much by being awful people off the field and terrible on the field. Also my fave players are no longer on the team (Frank Gore and Justin Smith). So I am ignoring them this year and perhaps every year hereafter. It sure opens up my schedule.

I need to start working out again too. Rebecca, I salute you!

My daughter is humming "Ode to Joy." This makes me very happy.
