In Which I Indulge in a Bit of Unrepentant Silliness
So Mr. G and I will often have TV series festivals at home: First, we order up the discs from Netflix, and then we watch them marathon-style while curled up together on the couch, accompanied by copious amounts of wine and popcorn. Within the last year or so, we've gone through a whole lotta wine and popcorn. We've also watched Legend of the ( Read more... ) -
In Which I Just KEEP Working Out Too Much
So Mr. G is currently in final tech week (AKA Hell Week) for his latest L.A. Opera production. We have to snatch the occasional hour together where we can, so on Friday night I went to one of his personal training sessions with him, because it was about the only hour we could spend together that day.

In Which That F*@%ing Case is OVER.
Yeah. That one case, man - we finally won it. Initially we lost it, which had me all but clawing at my own flesh because the defendants were TOTALLY not liable and I helped mount an absolutely airtight defense if I do say so my own bad self.

Gimpy!Guernica UPDATE! And it's HAPPY! :-D
So earlier this week I called Domnule Atrenor to tell him what my doctor had said, and that I was going to be out for some time. I was acutely disappointed and upset about being sidelined by an injury, so he did some roughly sympathetic “There there, you will be fine, injuries happen to everyone.
