Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The pub's webcam also has a webcam set up outside: [link] and we've been watching it for the last half hour like it's TV. We've seen like 7 bachelorette parties in 30 minutes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I went to the big downtown multiplex this morning, and man, I am reminded why I don't usually go there. Everything is a zillion dollars (but I had a free pass and also some money on a gift card), they don't have the reclining seats, the previews were terrible and took forever, AND the popcorn and soda weren't as good as at either of my more local independent places.

But you know, I still like being at the movies more than not being at the movies.

So I'm down inColumbia & there's a huge storm in Baltimore. Reports of 3 people maybe struck by lightning in Patterson Park. Yikes.

I want to go see Oceans 8 but we are in Sacramento for pride weekend and no time.

Now if only my stupid headache would go away—I haven't even been in the sun yet and that usually makes it WORSE.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yikes!

Last year I walked as part of the Lyft contingent in Boston's Pride parade, but this year I have to make money, so I drove this morning. As lovely as group of passengers as I've ever had, including a woman who was visiting Boston for her 55th MIT reunion.

Heard it was an adult & two kids, in serious condition. By the time I got back, clear skies.

So the salon will not be reopening on Main St. In fact, the owner may not reopen the location at all (she has another in Havre de Grace.) She's pondering a bunch of options, including semi-retirement (she's in her sixties, I think) & going in with just Alison in a small salon. But Alison is doing some pondering too. She got engaged last night!! She's selling her house in Westminster & moving over to Parkville, near me. So she's thinking of exploring other paths too (still staying in the business,) just to the north. Decisions are months out. Anyway, I'll follow her wherever.

And lisah, I mentioned Fringe to her.

The status is NOT quo.

Tep, I clicked on that webcam link just in time to watch a horse and buggy trot into frame. Dublin is awesome.

Went and saw Oceans 8 with a big group of female friends last night and had a total blast. It's light and frothy and fun and all female-gaze.

ION, I have 4-6 weeks to finish all of my MA research and professional project and defense and am trying not to be entirely daunted by it.

Punishingly Intricate

And lisah, I mentioned Fringe to her.

Good! They are expanding and looking for new stylists.

Yup. Might not be on her timescale, but couldn't hurt to mention.

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

Timelies all!

Our dance group had a gig at the Maryland Faerie Festival. Went pretty well, and we were able to find someone to look after Mr. S, as I was needed to dance pretty much every dance, and Gary plays guitar for the group.

I will admit, the fact that we were leaving our child at Unseelie Court did give me pause.(Although, if they replaced Mr. S with a changeling, I'm not sure we'd know the difference. :) )
