Moire has joined the Bride-to-Be Club! Go congratulate her. (And Amy, you might be interested in the comments discussion about changes in the Fort Wayne shopping landscape…)

There’s a Metafilter discussion about skydiving that I’m participating in. I did a tandem jump back in May 1999 to celebrate graduating college. (It was a present from Dad.) I’m feeling a little freaked, though, reading about the many recent fatalities at Skydive Chicago, where we jumped.

Emmy Awards Reflections:(No, I didn’t watch them. They weren’t on here. I’m looking at the pictures and pretending.) Matthew Perry is looking much, much better than he used to. Good for him.

I’ve been doing tons of work over at my Dahl site lately. Check it out if you’re bored. And don’t forget, it’s Banned Books Week! Celebrate your freedom to read. (I still can’t get over the fact that some school tried to ban The Lorax because it “criminalizes the forestry industry”.)
