meara, I just figured it out! I thought her crowd would be like the gay version of the crowd at a Pink show.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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.

Hahaha I can see that. I have several friends who have attended her “girls just wanna” weekend in Mexico, though I have not because I don’t really know any of her music.

The status is NOT quo.
So glad to hear from you, Shir and Nilly.

Shir, NIlly, good to hear from you.
Suela, there are multiple reasons the protest might have been smaller - the military operation has already started, so there's not the feeling that it might make a difference that way, plus a lot of protest energy has been soaked up by all the OTHER crap the Gropenregime has been perpetrating.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Glad to hear from you, Nilly and Shir.
I'm awake in the middle of the night coughing, which I hope is just allergies or my sinuses reacting to the ridiculous changes in the weather.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Hang in there, Nilly. Hang in there Shir.
Has Suzy been around? Does she still have peeps in Iran?

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Glad to hear from you, Nilly and Shir. My thoughts are with you; I only wish it was for more general well-wishing and not the current situation.
I spent most of yesterday raking leaves and it brought home that I am OLD in a way that the recent visit to the cardiologist and assorted echocardiograms and EKGs hadn't. I did eventually manage to get my whole front yard to an acceptable level of lawn showing, but I can remember baleing hay as a kid and it doesn't seem like something as lightweight as leaves should wear me out as much as it did.

Our wings are not tired.
My cousin and girlfriend are visiting from Ohio, and they are enjoying the beach and sunshine very much. We are avoiding the news except for brief updates to keep the feelings of hopelessness at bay. Friday, we are going on a 3-day cruise and are seriously considering not purchasing internet to take a media break.
eta: Am I the only one to get an earworm from a 3-day cruise converted to a 3-hour cruise?

Laura, I just started humming the theme for Gilligan's Island, so no. You are definitely not the only one. I'm reading a great book which is making this whole work thing extra hard to want to engage in. Do you thin anyone woud notice if I just kept reading my digital copy of the book while I make the students do something else?

I think that sounds like a fabulous idea, kat. There must be lots of self-guided work those children could do!
