Susan:
Yeah, 1987 was my sophomore year of h.s., and I was the slave of peach shirts from Ups N Downs, the most slammin' boutique in the mall.
I look GHASTLY in peach, and I think the year of peach is when I started to defy trends that make me look bad.
Of course, I still bought the black sweater with the giant multicolored parrot on the back and paisleys on the front, AND a Swatch tshirt AND jeans with giant caggage roses on them.
But my junior year I discovered black, and my senior year slutty colored bras. Much better.
Thankfully, I have always, ALWAYS eschewed neon.
The post office web site should tell you which is which.
It didn't say anything obvious. So I went to the largest one near me. Which has a really not obvious sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 listing the 13 SoCal post offices open past 7.
I thought about it for quite a while, and put my $32 in the mailbox anyway and came home.
We'll see.
Sadly, I was hardly the only one there, and not all of them noticed the sign.
If
only
I'd seen your post before I left, and maybe I'd be over hooking up your phone.
And you can't prove anything different.
I think you should be able to PayPal the IRS.
You should also be able to gamble on the amount you owe at the IRS website. And you should be able to get your refund in porn.
ION, I just saw Sarah Vowell give a reading. I now have a new secret celebrity girlfriend.
LOVE Sarah Vowell! I plan on using some of her essays in my putative classes next fall (please Employment Gods, knock on wood.)
What are you gonna be teaching, Erin?
he labelled his horizontal axis y.
Is this bad?? I had no idea. I was watching and saw that, but it didn't stand out at me. Of course, I'm also the person who had to go to our CFO for help with some math this week.
tommyrot, you went to the Sarah Vowell reading? I thought about it, but I'm home doing homework. Blech. I love her.
High school English, hopefully. I finished my student teaching TODAY!!!!
Now I have to revamp my formative portfolio by Tuesday, and then the serious job searching begins.
The school I student taught at is having budget issues and isn't hiring teachers, or else I wouldn't mind staying there. I would love to be at a school with a high element of Hispanic kids, since I LOVED my Latina students.
- sniff* I got two invitations to quincineras this spring, and am SO going to go. I really loved these girls!
Wow. I efiled my Missouri taxes Tuesday night, and my return was in my bank account today.
Color me impressed.
I guess Missouri has become the Show Me the Money State.
Was that any moreso in the 80s than other decades? No one really wears much of that crap.
While I'll cede that regular folks' clothes were more ridiculous in the 70s, I don't think high fashion has ever topped the excess of the motorcycle dress from George Michael's "Too Sexy" video.
