And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

sara, re: du Toit... she's AMAZING.
No kidding. I heard the original piece on The World on radio (I think it is BBC.) There was a comment somewhere that she should get an honorary gold. I was all, no, that would piss her off. She wanted to earn her way to the top of the Olympics on her terms, which is one leg or two, compete as if with 2. And I love her spirit for that.
I need to remember that the ocean is Right There.
Eeek. Ocean still freaks me out. Makes the horizon too high somehow. I love the sound, I love the idea. This desert girl freaks out over the reality, however. It's visceral.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It wasn't a lot. It was just a little. But when I went in to see her, she had blue smeared all over her face. They put dye in food they give to the kids to be able to make sure they are swallowing and it is not seeping into their lungs.

Also, everyone's first meal should be strawberry ice cream.

I really hope this is a step forward. And that the ice cream was received tastily.

“Not dead yet!”
I need to remember that the ocean is Right There. It's all impressive and shit plus very calming with the waves and the white noise and the spray in your face.
::sigh:: That sounds wonderful. We're 45 minutes from the ocean here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's awesome, Kat!!
Eeek. Ocean still freaks me out.
I don't think I know anyone who really loves the ocean who didn't grow up with it.

I grew up in Ohio and I LOVE the ocean.
