Oh, I did! They came Monday, I think. Thanks! Haven't gotten a chance to read them yet, but mmm.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Heh. That's a week longer than they told me it would take, but glad they arrived.
OTOH, I hate Renee Zellweger with a fiery, unbreakable hate, and I just want to pick her up and slap her and scream "You aren't America's Sweetheart, you squinty-eyed annoyance!"
YES! And, that stoopid pout thing she does with her lips all the time. STOPITNOW!

Oh, I think I meant last Monday. They came whenever they were supposed to. What day is it? Geez. Fucking thesis.
Why does Word suck so bad?
If a person had a long list of names in alphabetical order, and wanted those names to appear on one page, in two columns, why would Word insist on taking the selection of names from G - M and making that column two, so that column one is one long column that goes from A - Z, if A - Z does not include the letters that fall in the G - M section of the alphabet. Why doesn't it just cut off at P, or something, and just put the second half of the alphabet in column two? Why is it so weird?
Ouch. I've lost days, but not whole weeks. How much more work do you have left on it? (says the man whose never had to do one)
And now, perversely, I feel the need to stand up and defend Renee Zellweger. Visually that squint of hers always bugs me, and I couldn't abide her performance in that movie where she played Meryl Streep's overentitled, whiny daughter, but I have hugely enjoyed her performances in The Whole Wide World, Nurse Betty, Bridget Jones' Diary and Chicago. I got no quarrel with her at all, and at this point, despite the ongoing irritation of the squint, her track record for me is pretty damn good. One undelightful facial tic, one crappy performance, four seriously good (and very different) films I could happily watch over and over and over.
I sincerely hope that this doesn't make me dead to Erin and ChiKat, but I must confess it.
Also, Mel Gibson's politics and reactionary theology give me hives but it has to be noted, yet again, that he was fantabulous in Chicken Run.
A top knot.
I don't think so. I believe a top knot is generally a bun or some sort of similar pinned hairstyle, with a ponytail coming off it. Not just a ponytail.
There's a reasonable facsimile here if you don't want to spend $500. [link]
If I'd never seen the movie, I'd love the facsimile. If I'd never seen the Baron Boutique, I wouldn't be dreaming of the different weights of the fabric.
But, truth is, the coat's about all I like from that dumb flick, and I like it a lot. In fact, I get mail to ita NeosCoat. Because I married it.

My goal is to have it written by mid-May. I also have a seminar to give at the end of March, and a month-long class to take that begins near the middle of March. I also need to find a job. And I should really get around to paying my electric bill.
