No sexy little red-haired girl action this weekend. Well, I knew it was kind of dicey to begin with because, well, she's an international woman of mystery and everything. Sometimes the black suits call and she has to go covert. It's all very Spy vs. Spy stuff.

I don't know why, but I always rooted for the spy dressed in black. I loved MAD magazine when I was a kid. And beyond. I know most of my '60s and '70s pop culture and historical references from MAD.

So anyway, my LRHG has to go get some shoes with big springs on them and there's something involving a couple rocket packs, and that's just going to take all damn weekend. Stupid world crises.

In the rest of my life, I've been working really hard during the day trying to be technology girl. This weekend I've got a chance to go to a Japanese bondage class and a single-tail whip demonstration. I'm there.
