Havi, what you said in response to my comment up there made me cry. Not in a bad way, you understand. More in the way that being reassured that I'm ok tends to have. Thank you. .-= Lean Ni Chuilleanain (@leannich)´s last post ... Socks! Well, One Sock =-.

Princess Bride! Yes! Chock-full of useful phrases.

Utterly frivolous fun with plenty of 70s nostalgia (avocado green! goldenrod yellow! shag carpet!) plus a sprinkling of schadenfreude for spice. EUROBAD '74 an exhibition of Europe's worst interiors of 1974. I have to confess I'm in love with this stripey couch.

The most wonderful naturalistic and lovely handmade hair crowns (found during the ongoing quest for tiarae): lambcandy on etsy – http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7942291

And I usually have more Princess Bride than Say Anything running through my head. “Inconceivable!” “I do not think that means what you think it means.” Anything Mandy Patinkin, really. And the young Cary Elwes (fanning self), who still has that lovely voice, even now he’s older… Also the whole land war in Asia thing always cracks me up…Happy inoculation for the day!

@Serendipity – I’ve read much xkcd, including going back a ways into the archives when I discovered it, but I had apparently not gone as far back as that first one you linked to. Thank you for pointing it out!

Also, I think a good item would be Faith Hats: http://www.faithhats.com They are adorable, made from recycled wool, and support one of the dancers for Portland’s own MarchFourth Marching Band (http://www.marchfourthmarchingband.com/ for anyone who is not yet acquainted with the joys of rock marching band.)

Items! I love them, and I love being one. Esp. a HOT item!

And how great would it be to do a workshop on the proper forms of obsession. SUPER-great, that’s how great.

Thank you!! My husband is routinely giving me a hard time for my multiple tabs (on multiple computers – but that’s another story). I love when I’m vindicated and can say “it’s not just ME you know!” (with a wink and a smile, of course).

@Laura G – I’ve been wondering the same thing. I want my Duck as well. I’m sure it will come to us.

@Serendipity: I was thinking about that second xkcd strip myself! So glad that you linked to it.

@Havi: The Items! make me smile on a regular basis. I just wanted you to know that.

uh, lines from Say Anything?

“I gave her my heart and she gave me a a pen.”

I *just* watched “Say Anything” again and that line is still in my top 10 lines from the movie. Since I’m still on couch-rest, the ending made me teary again, like any good romance should. And then I came here to find my Wednesday reading and it was wonderful. This site always helps me forget, even for a few moments, whatever pain I’m feeling.

Oh – and coolness itself – the Hippie Husband needed shoes so he summoned his courage and headed for a downtown mall, where he ran into an interesting stranger and had a cool adventure. It’s a long story and not mine, but it was awesome and just what was needed. Mentioning it here, because my own blog is still expectantly sitting there, waiting for my own stories to emerge.

((hugs to all))
