another forbidden dance
shan brought this to my attention a while ago….
if you’re dancing and someone decides that it’s “repulsive to public taste and morality and likely to cause fear and annoyance” you, too, might be banned…
of course, if you are, you’re all welcome to come dance in my seekrit, secure, undisclosed location. i’ll make crepes. Continue reading

dondi on being a superstar
this has already made the rounds pretty much everywhere, but in the interest of personal space, i felt i should include at least a link here.
