This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He looks better older.

I didn't realise that I thought of him as "that guy from Reservoir Dogs" until I went through the process of recognising him.

I love that movie.

I wonder if I own it...

It's the only QT I like. Well, no Jackie Brown was good, but it doesn't get me psyched like RD. Mostly I find Tarantino's work way too smug.

The London whale died! I'm all sad. There's an irony here that better water quality in the Thames could be leading to more aquatic mammal sightings. So a combination of pollution (noise) and less pollution (chemical) might have lead to its death. Poor woobie.

I've given up on cheap bras. Mostly because they don't make them in my size anything close to flattering. Currently, Lane Bryant has ONE style that is my friend. Even the fancy Nordstroms disappointed me. I should go to the bra ladies up the street (seriously, they've been written up in national papers) but I don't think I can deal with the critiques of blunt old russian ladies about my boobs. It's traumatic enough trying the shit on.

Got my hair cut and wandered about. Scored a necklace chain for all my freaking pendants I never wear for lack of a good chain. Saw some lovely, interesting and colorful sweaters but none in my size, so I got depressed. Wandered into galleries, pondered dropping $300 on some lovely art, but didn't. Missed my exit on the way home, which freaked me out, because I never do that. Had an existential crisis in the Target lot on account of that (how lame is that?!)

Braved the hell that is the shopping center that now contains a Trader Joes. Got some reading at B&N. Wandered over to TJ's. I'm sorry, I bought tamales there (they are good) but the place wigs me out. Bell chiming, vaguely-drunk-the-koolaid staff out of place with the local demographics... It's just too-TOO twee or something. I'll go back to stock up on cheap decent tamales, but.... It still is shittily laid out and whacko.

nice job getting a chain. I have a gold and a silver chain now that I really like (both were gifts) and I wear my pendants so much more now. You don't need to buy that art, you have the beautiful things to get framed.

I have to buy a chain per pendant--otherwise it's just too fidgety.

MY PIZZA NEEDS TO SHOW UP NOW.

At this rate, it'll be the late showing of Underworld: Evolution. It's so not worth a late showing.

you have a lot of rules, but whatever works for you.

my legs hurt something awful.

I've got probably 4 pendants that will go with this chain. All silver. Me and gold don't go to well together.

I'd love to have a strand per pendant, but I know me. Not happening.

A lot of the others do best with ribbon (large mother of pearl , striated amber and a large antique locket) so maybe that is tomorrow. Need to fetch up a ribbon with a good fastener for them (some already have ribbons, but they are getting worn.) Then there is the sterling silver serving spoon set with garnet. Not sure what to do with that one. Ribbon is too too, a chain almost seems too little.

Still looking for small secondary earrings. I've had these teeny blue and silver stoned hoops in my ears for nearly a decade (literally, I haven't removed them), mainly because I've not seen anything their size since. But I need replacements. The blue beads are glass something and have lost about half their color. And I'm tired of blue.

It's not a rule--it just takes too long to change pendants, and too many opportunities to lose them. It's cheaper and faster this way.

I WANT MY PIZZA.
