One important thing to note about the fabric store is that among its rich and gorgeous brocades, perfect for corsets, it has a particularly lush gold brocade with little twisty viney shapes and Japanese characters and, my hand to God, Hello Kitty faces. Some Buffista needs this brocade, I'm certain. (If anyone's willing to commit, I'll happily trot back, buy some and ship it.)

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.

I need two things: to find my nail file, and to stop absently poking at the knot on the back of my head. Is there another word for it, one that has fewer other meanings? In Jamaica we call it a coco, at least on kids. Which, ah, does have other meanings too, but none of them actually have anything to do with physiology.

Regular gasoline dropped to $1.999 today, after peaking at $3.099 five weeks ago. Yay for cheaper gas, but WTF drives these prices? It sure isn't local demand.
Also weird is that diesel peaked higher--about $3.50--and has stayed higher--currently $3.109
What are prices like for you guys?
That Etch-A-Sketch art is bananas, beth.
JZ, I'd tell erinaceous about that fabric, were I you.
I'm impressed with myself that I have literally wasted the entire day, but a little sad that I really need to do work. Oops.
2.68- 2.78 in western NY for gas,
And... the fabric has Hello Kitty? In a discreetish pattern?

PICTURES!
I'm paying $2.50. And glad of it. The $3.50 and up was nuts. I clearly recall paying $.79. A bit ago.
I'd really love to find a bluegray chinese silk embroidery fabric. I love the color of my comforter cover and sheets (deep red and a plum) but I've got this teabox in those bluegray papers, and um...it's lovely. Which reminds me, I still need to frame the 30 year old korean watercolor I have. I just have to find a place that can mount it on a peach silk that won't damage it more than it already is.
So many plans....
We'll see if there are pictures.
I never had to pay over $3.10 for premium here, but on the other hand, I'm not paying much less than $3 for it now.

Regular peaked around $2.99 about a month ago IIRC, maybe $3.09 near the interstate. Now it's around $2.69. I think it was around $2.49 pre-Katrina.
Geez Louse-- Rochester NY has much higher gas prices than it should.... Except because there is almost no public transportation, I guess they figure they have us over a barrel...
