I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Or suggest they go in a different direction. [link]

Bridesmaid sparkly belts?? WTF is this world coming to?

Though I realized the other day on a comment thread about "what is the most expensive piece of clothing/accessory you've ever bought" thread that the answer was a freakin' bridesmaid dress. It was something like $200? Which I guess is not that bad as bridesmaid dresses go, but still...

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

This bar I'm in has a skeeball lane. Very cool. Except that some people feel entitled to bring their kids to the bar to play skeeball. Their skreetchy, whiny kids. During happy hour on a Friday.

The bartender just bounced them. FINALLY.

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

It was only 96 on my drive home, but still feels pretty damn warm. Have eaten a cold supper and may just doze until the sun sets and it presumably cools off some...

I guess I'm glad I've never been a bridesmaid. Was witness-without-title for my sister, but I could wear what I wanted to for that.

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

I've never been a bridesmaid either. Haven't missed that experience, really.

Had to dispose of a dead rat (yay?) in my driveway tonight. Pretty sure it was the dying one from 2 days ago. Anyway, put it in the city trash cans since they pick up tomorrow after dropping it into double bags, with a shovel and garden implement, wearing industrial rubber gloves and carrying at arms length to the bin. Possible heebiejeebie dance.

Funny how for some reason this made me squeamish. I'm usually good with dead things and rats, but somehow dead rats?

Always Anti-fascist!

Have never been a bridesmaid but have been a character witness twice. Not sure what that says about me besides there never being a rom-com about my life.

failing band. again. no raised weaponry or cursing this time. phone cleared of games and internet.

He already had a sleepover with a friend scheduled for Sat, so he will be playing games that entire time, but nothing he could be doing to get the grade up during that time anyway, really. Well, he could practice I guess.

He is choosing to play mad basketball (basketball while mad) in the driveway rather than do the chores he has yet to do this week. I count 3 that need to be done before 6pm tomorrow night. Then I guess he loses the phone outright? honestly I do not even know anymore, Just do your damn stuff kid.
