I find that wedding depressing, Kat--doesn't seem much like a love match, what with the age difference and the crazy rumors of new undiscovered children, etc etc
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Also, anyone who loves looking at royal outfits and/or dreaming of being a princess might enjoy this blog, which is all about royal fashion (currently all about the Monaco wedding, and guests, but often just what the royals are wearing on any given week)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
goodness, she was all but on a plane back to South Africa. I feel badly for her. Was Princess Grace's life particularly happy after she married the Prince? I didn't think it was.

It's an extremely depressing marriage for sure. Sort of like what would have happened had Princess Diana had married Charles at 30 instead of 20.
Also, it's super depressing to see how skittish and unsure of herself she has seemed in interviews. She's an Olympic swimmer, for god's sake. Howabout a little self-confidence?
But I do think her dress is beautiful and the diamond sprays in her hair are lovely. AND I adore the bridesmaids in their white and red taffeta.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
amych, yikes! Glad you and yours are all right! That could have been really bad.
I've only been awake for 6 hours and I want to go back to sleep. Partly because of the thunderstorm, maybe, probably mostly because of the ridiculous amount of bread I've eaten the past couple days. Whence my seeming inability to stop consuming foods that are bad for me?
Also, marrying a Prince shouldn't be a depressing thing! I hope she loves him a little, anyway. What's the deal with them "catching" her at the Nice airport? I imagine them dragging her off screeching in handcuffs. I mean, if she was running away from him... IDK, isn't this kinda scary?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I bet she loves him and is sad because he's been cheating (how old is the latest kid?) and will in all likelyhood continue to do so (regardless of what he said to get her ass off that plane).

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I keep getting off the sofa with thoughts of Doing Stuff, but it never seems to really take.

That is so scary, amych! I am glad there is not any great damage and you are both OK.

This is me. And I really have to find my keys this weekend or I am going to have to confess. And probably pay to install a new lock on my apartment, because apparently my landlord doesn't have a way to make a new key, just has a master key.
I did start a new to me John Irving book, and I got to read it inside this "fort" that my neighbor's grandons made in this giant bush in our yard. I have been wanting to get inside and read for so long, and they cleared it out and put chairs in it! I used to read outside sitting in trees as a kid, but this is like a little house made of branches, and gets s nice breeze.
I also watched a documentary on Hulu about discrimination against lesbian basketball players at Penn State. (It is really good and I recommend t, as it also deals with the power of the athletic departments in colleges as well as systemic discrimination for about 25 years by one coach) Then I started to watch the next LGBT docmentary on there, and t was produced by Penn State. Weird.
