Horses in the Morning interviewed a Mounted Archer today!
Phrasing
Glad I'm not the only one who went there.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

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.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I think you'd qualify as the eccentric aunt, and she's usually safe in the novels.
That is an excellent point. Someone bring me a fainting couch and a bottle of laudanum!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats on the house, Scrappy!
I've taken Percoset once, after getting two wisdom teeth out. Slept a while, then was hazy for a bit. I only got one dose.

Because books.
I kind of want Carol Kane from The Princess Bride to come running into my brain shouting "LIAR!" when my thoughts are crap.
There should totally be an app for that.

Art Crawl!!!
Perhaps I should have abbreviated the show. . .
Also: I hope I am even a tiny portion of the bad ass that the woman they interviewed is. . . she is also an incredibly positive person. Which, I guess, makes sense if you're traveling all over the world and getting on strange horses to ride them at a dead run while shooting at targets with a bow and arrow.
ETA: one of the other people they interviewed this morning was a coach for the Mongol Derby.

can I get a bit of nonspecific shiny-object~ma for the next couple months? (if it exists?) ... for no reason, really. none. Whatsoever.

Was it Ben Franklin who said, if you have a complicated job to get done, give it to the laziest person in the room?
That was the premise in Cheaper By The Dozen. The father was an efficiency expert and always asked to watch the laziest person on the assembly line because they were the most efficient.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
But it's a short-term fix, not long-term. Even after surgery, I've relied on less than the prescribed dosages after a couple of days.
Then you were extremely lucky.

Glad I'm not the only one who went there.
The great thing about this place is that I knew for certain that someone would pick up on that one word reference.
