I drove by a local bookstore that was advertising a Sarah Palin signing on Sunday. Oy
Picket it with pictures of her with a Hitler moustache.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

MOMA is a good idea. Maybe a treat at a local cafe too.
Last year all the Little League Coaches got a seminar on pre-practice workouts and they emphasized that static stretching was only for cooling off afterwards, that they wanted us to get everybody moving beforehand: run laps, do duck walks and walking leg kicks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

GPS system!
Sorry, unrelated pedantry shout-out.
Which, BTW, I heard a reporter on NPR say "GPS system" yesterday! Oh, NPR. Please don't start talking like I do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, that's a really good point.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I had to look up the exact quote because of an LJ entry, and now "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly" (from WKRP's Thanksgiving fiasco episode) keeps going through my head.
I hope no one comes in my office as I am giggling to myself.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yeah, I don't know why but "walking leg kicks" conjures the image to my mind, but it's still not accurate. You're walking and with each step you kick your extended leg as high as you can until it touches your outstretched hand. Regular old kicks just makes me think of side-kicks, or soccer kicking.
Anyway, the effect is like a cross between aerobic Frankenstein and John Cleese. In fact, I called our pre-practice workouts "The Ministry of Silly Walks" and the players duck walked from home to first, then did a side-step crossover to second, then a side ways jumping jack to go from second to third, and the high kicking walk from third to home.

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

That's fantastic.
