yeah, that's not cool.

I wish people I respected would stop being so damned human all the time. Sigh.

I went to the city Art & Soul festival, and sat at the booth of my ski club to try to recruit members, and yeah, that's a weird thing to do at a historically (mostly) black street fair. We did get some people to stop and talk about the lodge and how cool it is, and all that, but it felt a little out of place.

OTOH there was some great blues being played in earshot, and a ton of excellent people-watching to be had. And one of the local dairies was giving away free ice cream. Score!

Laura, that's all so wonderful to hear. It's heartwarming when a lifetime of love is reciprocated that way. And I'm glad your eulogy went well, too.

msbelle, I'm so sorry you got your blood sugar and metabolism all out of whack. It does sound like perhaps a touch of heatstroke, too. Bodies--so unreliable.

I'm afred to go look at Joss news. Someone on Tumblr just deconstructed Firefly for me, and now I'm all feet-of-clay, SO bereft of my favorite thing, just like a child with an irreparably broken toy. Ruined.

But then it always was, I just wasn't aware of it. Adulting is stinkin hard, man.

I can't say that the news left me feeling much in the way of shock and surprise. Though I didn't really see anything that strikes me as hypocritical about his past feminist efforts in light of the news—cheating isn't inherently misogynistic, it's being an asshole to your spouse, who happens in this case to have been a woman.

It's the likelihood that he was taking advantage of his position with cast members and fans that goes over that line for me.

Yeah - if he and say, Jenny Calendar were having an affair, maybe OK, but the description of all the "hungry young woman@ kinda made me sick.

I think in general it's just kind of scummy to promote yourself as an enlightened feminist and be cheating -- serially -- on your wife, and (probably) taking advantage of your position with young women who know you can advance their careers.

I thought I heard a rumor about Joss and Charisma carpenter.

I just got instructed that I need more friends of different backgrounds and lineages by a member of Daniel's extended family so I get a better perspective on things. Apparently my insistence on supporting the wanton destruction of history via the removal of monuments to traitorous losers means I'm part of the problem - misuse of white privilege.

... what? That does not compute to me.

Can I come visit? grins wickedly
