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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sophia, that credit ROCKS

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

Actually, the whole discussion started when I showed the director a grey puss-n-boots plush outfit. He was very insisitant the puus-in-boots is ALWAYS orange !?!

But maybe you want one just for you?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Sophia, that credit ROCKS

Thanks! It's nice to hear coming from a fellow theatre professional. The praise I get from my designers, who are all working designers in NY, chicago or CA is one of the things that makes me think I should have just picked up and tried to make my way in NY. I mean, I really can't sew half as well as many many people (even many on this board), so it must be an understanding of design that makes them like to work with me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's never too late. You know we have plenty of jobs in academia, too....

You imply someone has PAID me!

It looks to me like you're on a good track. Why not look at your leap making options? Not that you must or should go... but start to find out what it would entail.

so it must be an understanding of design that makes them like to work with me.

I suspect you are correct. And I suspect you are a great to work with too. You should ask them.

And don't be so hard on yourself! You can totally scare the fuck out of people!

Marked. I'll file that with Tim saying nice things under unwarranted ego-boosts, for when I need them.

My rep amuses the hell out of me. Because I know how good I am at sounding confident when I have no idea what I'm talking about. Shit, I shouldn't have admitted that. Damn this beer.

I like dark, but Vachss was too much for me. I tried a couple, and gave up. Possibly I can't deal with kids in my dark.

Once I was reading his then-latest in front of a friend, and winced at a particular horrible, graphic description. My reaction was dramatic enough that my friend asked "Why do you read that if it hurts you?" So, yeah, I totally understand. I guess the catharsis balances out the horror for me, but it's a fine line. I'm very hesitant about recommending them to people because of that, even though I think they're well-done. Well, most of them.

Vachss did mention Buffy once! As a pop-culture thing, because they were dealing with high school kids. I was amused, anyway.

me me me me. Oy. I'm gonna try to not apologize for being self-involved for one night. Just sent congratulatory email to the fiancee. I think I'll reread old emails and go through the whole stages of mourning thing. Oh gosh, when is Robot Chicken? 11:30? I'll need to record it.

Oh:

Alibelle and msbelle are looking at you warily now, FTR.
Well, the book title was "Blue Belle," which is what I'd have had to use if I was going with that. Because, well, I'm neurotic. Imagine calling me Bluebelle. You see my problem?

You should ask them.

I know. It is just so scary and I am so old and NY is so expensive. I have had several designers willing to fly me down for film shoots, etc, if I had the time. But sometimes, when I think of myself, I think of the "parable of the talents" (Matthew). I mean, I am not religious, and I know talents refered to money, but I get scared that I am wasting my "talents" that God has given me, you know. I mean, I don't mean to think above myself, but I do really get costumes, you know. I just don't know if I have the mental energy to use my talents as a profession, or if I should use them as an avocation.

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

I want dessert. Despite having had a decadent chocolate cupcake (tangible payoff for hanging around chatting this afternoon), I still want dessert. I want something hot and sweet. Like apple rhubarb crumble.

This is pretty useless.

Why can't I have cravings with more likely payoffs?

Heist totally blew up one of the emo kids from North Shore. I like the pilot. I'ma stick around.
