No recs, but officially considering if I have anywhere better to be that week...[checks calendar, ooh, a week after the eclipse! Hm]
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.
'Hell Bound'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
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.

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

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.
I pulled a muscle doing yoga. I feel like that shouldn't be allowed to happen. I should get bendier, not ouchier.

I've come to think of my connective tissue - ligaments, tendons, cartilage - as being like old rubber bands which are desiccated and snap under pressure instead of stretching.
Your mother being a Yoga Freak has given you some unreasonable expectations.

She really is unreasonably bendy. (Good band name? One night only: Unreasonably Bendy!)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Oh no, meara! Wishing hard for better than expected results.
So glad for the hopeful news for JZ!
We recently had a fire pit installed and acquired good-quality outdoor furniture, so my main ambition for this three-day weekend is s'mores.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
That sucks, meara. I hope the scan results have better news.
It’s good to hear that JZ’s scans look promising. More of that, please, universe.
We’re having an unusual cold snap here mixed with possibly 72 hours of drizzly rain over Memorial Day weekend. I managed to take care of all my external activities yesterday, so I can spend my time on a sofa, under cats, reading some new books. With the occasional bit of cooking and housework to keep my joints from fusing solid. It’s pretty much a perfect weekend.

We're in the market for new outdoor furniture after the winter storms capriciously lifted our glass topped table by the umbrella and smashed it down to the ground with a good littering of broken glass everywhere.
I think we're leaning towards the Papasan we've enjoyed at the hotel.

You have optimized your weekend plans!
It's a gray day in LA but the sun should come out in the afternoon. We've already scuttled off to the French bakery and are back in our room with treats.
Our plan for the day is leisurely walk to dog park, peruse at the Friends of the Library. Back for a nap for JZ and then some poolside lounging and reading.

That exact thing happened to me last year!

That sounds like an excellent day!
Mom had her CT scan this morning, and the plan is she’ll call me when the docs come to discuss. But who knows when that’ll be—probably in a few hours when it’s halftime at the soccer game I’m going to and I can’t find a quiet space. But if I stay home they won’t call til after the game I’m sure. Fingers crossed the news is not horrific.

These storms hate glass topped tables! I'm leaning towards one of those cool looking triangular awnings this time.
Fingers crossed the news is not horrific.
How well I know this scan-xiety! All phalanges crossed.
