It wasn't terribly stealthy at the time.No, I mean the polyester. In Malaysia's climate? Oof.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

What is even happening?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Muslim modesty garb doesn't have to be ugly. Hell, judging from Morocco, it doesn't even have to be modest.
We went home with some women we met on the train in Algeria, and as soon as they got in their gate (not door, gate), they dumped the djellabas to reveal shirts and jeans underneath.
Iranian women have been pushing the envelope for years. The chadors and headscarves are getting colorful and stylish (and shorter) and beneath them are designer clothes, jeans and 'spensive shoes.

Most Western nations protested this as rendering the whole point of "photo ID" useless,
Well, yeah, kinda.

For those times when just one efficient isn't enough?
Excellent. I hope I get an A.
Some of my family in Malaysia wear baju (baji?), but are thankfully too classy to wear polyester ones.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That Miers thing was out of the blue. And yeah, how tone-deaf do you have to be to employ political patronage NOW?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So the whole university network is down, apparently. No shared drive, no email, etc. Not like I wanted to do work, but it is slightly annoying.

move out and draw fire

Same deal in Yemen. Either at home or at the embassy, the covers came off.
When out and about, though, I was impressed by the fancy shoes. Even with full coverage, you can still dress to impress.

Probably "baju baju"...I only ever found polyester ones, which were no fun to wear. Yay for your fam for finding non-polys.

That's... reassuring. I guess.

When we kill people it makes the policemen flustered and stern.
So it's possible Cheney - and Bush himself - may be charged with criminal conspiracy.
Won't be the first time it's happened... To a Republican... In the past 40 years...
Am I the only one who sees patterns like this or does G. Gordon Liddy actually have strong enough telepsychic powers to make people forget what he did?
