Buffy ,'The Killer In Me'
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.
So much love to y'all. {{{}}}
Yay new pup!
Texted earlier to a friend something that I thought could be funny taking out of context: "Congrats! And good luck with finding a shallow grave, let's celebrate on Friday!"
(context: she's awesome and won a professional award, but being herself she feels super awkward about it and expressed the want to find a shallow grave for herself to hide in until everyone will stop congratulate her).
Man, that wedding reception was a full-out Bollywood/20-something folks' 3-hour dance party. It was wild. The groom's female relatives put all Buffista gatherings to shame, because they wore lovely but sedate Indian clothing to the Lutheran ceremony, then changed into Indian party clothes for the cocktail hour and dinner, and then a fair handful went back to their rooms and changed into even more blingtastic outfits for the dance party. Truly dazzling to behold.
The food was the best Indian food I've ever had, and I might be ruined for our regular take-out place. The cupcakes (in lieu of a wedding cake) were carrot cake, which is a favorite of mine, so tiny unexpected bonus there. The groom's cousins/siblings performed a choreographed dance, joined by the groom, and then eventually the bride. Absolutely wonderful.
Our 4-year-old great-niece is fanatical about dancing, and she spent a good 45 minutes of the dance party on her dad's shoulders and was having the time of her life being above the crowd and bopping along and waving these blinky-lights-in-styrofoam-sticks that were passed out, while wearing sunglasses with blinky neon frames that were also passed out. I'm pretty sure she out-partied all of us.
I am doing absolutely nothing today, other than a very very likely nap.

That sounds utterly fantastic! I think you'll need at least two weeks to recover.
What an amazing wedding. Recovery time seems to be a good plan.

I need a hyperbaric oxygen chamber and a case of Red Bull.
That sounds so fun! And exhausting. But fun! I loved the blinky glasses video on FB.
My landlord has been out back most of the day taming the wilds of the backyard trees and replacing the roof on the shed (I've never been in the shed, and I've certainly never noticed the state of the roof, so... have at it, landlord!)
He also replaced a screen door that the cats totalled (I owned up that it was the cats) and took down the yucky panel shutter thingies on both sliding doors -- what are they called? Blinds! Anyway, took those down, and I will replace with curtains. Eventually. I'm mostly just glad to have the awful panel blinds gone.
Nice day, hot. Having dinner with my nephew and his partner tonight, so that'll be fun. And it's not a school night, so that's cool.
Happy trails, Laura. Time between your trips feels like it gets shorter and shorter? I feel like you've only been home for a couple of weeks.
I love a well celebrated wedding! All the pics and vids on FB are so great, Tep.
The wedding just looks and sounds so joyous and beautiful
Yeah, good for them.(and you)
Steph, the wedding sounds incredible. Thank you for the descriptions!
