I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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.

Will there be a link to the livestream tomorrow? I decided to stop in.(the political work never really stops...moving it back is not such a crisis.)

Because books.

Sending tiny task~ma to David, and the same regrets that I can't be there this weekend. Sending all my love.

Happy birthday, Vortex!

And very, very belated thanks to Teppy on my DST mini-freakout.

Happy birthday, Vortex!

That's a bullshit timesuck, chair vendors!

There is a special hell for companies who don't make it easy for you to give them your money.

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

Ain't that the truth!

I think I've done everything that needs doing.

I'm tired and a little fried, but all that's left is some housecleaning.

Aw. I could never do that. (I'd get *most* of it, perhaps, but I'd forget forks and have fifty people eating with their hands.) We had Belated Mother's Day today cause last week Mom had to see the doctor.

Our wings are not tired.

You have done everything that needs doing!

Biggest planning fail was my wedding to Brendon. I was 45 minutes late to a wedding outdoors in Morikami Park because we were still finishing making my dress. On the way there I realized I forgot to wear earrings, so my mom took off hers and gave them to me. Then after the ceremony I realized I forgot to bring the music CDs I had put together. Sigh. Wedding and marriage still worked out.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Saw a Juliana for lunch! Now we await our Lyft to the hotel, having bummed around for a bit after lunch.
