I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I cared, sara. I shuddered in sympathy and then couldn't talk about it because it was too icky.

Me too. Also, I thanked my lucky stars that Bastet hasn't come across any mice (or at least not felt like making presents of them).

("Mouses." I ask you!)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Drunken meara:

Our cat Mitzi used to bring in mice. I don't think it was to impress anyone so much as to save some for later.

and someone better tie Cass to the couch

But I am booooooooooooored

Ok, I promise if someone ties me to the couch I won't complain of boredom. IJS.

I was all excited recently when I met a guy who used to work on What Not To Wear, and I said I wanted to go on it, and he looked me up and down and said I'd never get on. Some of those people are just tragic.

Whether I'd get on or not, I've actuallly learned a lot from that show. The BBC one, I can't stand the US people.

I'm still cursing never having had a teen girl body. You'd think, what with people who were born when I entered my teens now on the cusp of leaving theirs, that I'd be over it by now, but I have a flash of resentment every time I walk through juniors.

Oh hell yeah.

I know it's a whole different issue since I'm a man, but encroaching flab made me give up T-shirts except for special geekish occasions (and even then only under an undone button shirt)

Ah, the bellly roll.

Speaking of, Gap "curvy" fit: I recommend it. Solved my jeans problem handily for only $40. (My jeans problem being a seven inch waist/hip differential). I imagine thei>r "straight" fit is also a lifesaver.

Oh yeah. As someone with more or less no hip/waist differential, I was stunned to see the new straight fit. I haven't made it in to try them, but it's on my list this weekend.

I'm waiting for a flat fit. Designed for people with no ass.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

At this point I'm grateful if any clothes fit at all. Nutty just went shopping with me, and she can testify as to how hard I am to fit properly.

Our wings are not tired.

Rather concerned about the Gulf Coast people facing this storm. It was just barely a hurricane when it came through Miami and it made a terrible mess. 20" of rain, still a million without power.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

WTF is up with the hurricanes this year? It's a mess.

In other WTF news, why was I unable to fall asleep until like 2 last night, but still woke up at 8:30? Lame. I think I'm going to go to the pool and see if I snooze out there.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That is lame, Jesse.

Pools are good, though it is too cold to use them here right now.

It's apparently 74 here, but nice and sunny.

Huh. It's supposed to get up to 85 here today. I'm not sure I believe that though.
