Great find, ita. Thanks for sharing.
Now I have to go touch up the make-up I just applied, dammit.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

What Nicole said. Except for the make-up because I'm still in jammies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay! I saw it! That's awesome.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Another quiet Sunday here...

Yeah, that Lucy stuff looks great. I'm more likely to go to Marshall's or Filene's Basement and buy whatever doesn't look too skanky, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Lucy stuff feels even better than it looks. I'm pissed that I have to mostly wear krav workout clothes now, because they're less texturally indulgent. They're great in action--don't chafe or wedge up, and wick sweat like a dream.
The pants, that is. I've always had way too many T-shirts, so I have only tried a couple of their tops, and mostly for the wit on the front.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
ita, what part of JLU made you weepy? The knight being all noble, or the old lady getting all up in military dude's bidness?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I've seen that a couple of times (ESPN covered it, as did the CBS Evening News), and it's just amazing.
For those who didn't watch, it's about an autistic high school kid who was the team manager for the basketball team. In the team's last game, they decided to add him to the roster to show their appreciation. He's a well-liked kid, so when they put him in the game, the crowd cheered. When he then reeled off 6 three-point shots, and scored twenty points, the crowd went nuts. You gotta wonder if the coach is thinking, "Man, I should've done this sooner."

Actually, it was the kid manning the wrecking ball that set me off. Which softened me up for the we shall defend without powers thing. By the time Granny showed up it was too late.
