No catchy title, sorry

First, a good laugh from slinka: What about a catapult? and I can't believe we're doing this. Dudes, LOTR humor. Fuh-neee.

Second, thanks to everyone who came out for bellydancing last night. Good god, there were a lot of you. Lessee, skyflame, _mac_, stuology, solan_t, adammaker, birthday girl kijjohnson, mckitterick, jenocp, and radcliffe, plus all the LJ-less grad students who showed up. I wore the blue striped costume that I haven't fit into for a couple years. That was cool. UPDATE: here is a picture that one of the drummers just sent me, taken last night.

Third, from solan_t (who looked simply amazing in her corset last night and showed no signs of suffocating):
