Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, the harmony was great.

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

I thought I had missed the race but I tuned in right before it started. Yay!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Horse racing spoilers:

Holy shit, I didn't think American Pharoah would hold on, and then he opened up down the stretch. Beautiful.

I know, right?

I don't follow horse racing, but I do love to see them run, and that was a real treat.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Wow, what a horse. They're saying only Secretariat ever ran the Belmont faster. And now we finally have a Triple Crown winner after, what, 37 years?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

WHAT A RACE! Jason and I were on our feet for the entire homestretch.

Because books.

I think they said 27?

That was so awesome. They're such beautiful animals.

37 years. The last was 1978.

God, I feel old.

In other news, Trader Joe's frozen pork shu mai are incredible. I have to remember to have these in the freezer at all times.

Those are good shu mai, yes.

I'm gonna take a stand and say that that "holy shit" that got broadcast while the jockeys were miked up after the race was entirely appropriate. Also, I'm pleased to learn about a professional athlete who is not much younger than me.
