I can't count the number of times I've gotten design sketches back with the comment "but isn't the text supposed to be in English?"

Lorem ipsum is more or less Latin gibberish to begin with. Funny.

Heh, yes. But still better than getting it back with placeholder text all marked up and no comment on design.

Which means Eureka's ending...well, too soon.

Hopefully only temporarily.

Catching up on the second of my TiVo's Inspector Lynley mysteries.

There are new ones!?! Damnit. My pbs was in pledge drive hell mode, so the listings were pretty much all TBA. Damnit.

I had two on my TiVo, sarameg. I'd even forgotten how the last series had ended. It was so very English--the idea that in a cop show a cop in the aftermath of a shooting would be not only skittish around guns but getting a bunch of money from her employers. In US cop shows, you just shake that stuff off.

Watched GA. As a recent hyperventilator and a less recent faintee I got scared for him because of what he might hit or rip out on the way down. Not fun.

Okay, gross Yahoo ad where this woman learns about a fertilizer online that has her garden bursting with blossoms. And then a dog digs himself out of the flowerbed and the little girl exclaims "You're alive!"

Dude. Pet Sematary. Don't use the Native American fertilizer. Never ends well.

Ha!

My people don't do lorem ipsum text at all. We get garbled manuscript set into the design -- sometimes it's hilarious! Even for a first edition, they just take the copyedited files (we almost always have at least part of the ms. on disk) and scramble them and plug them in.

My viewing of the last series was all scattershot for some reason, so I don't think I even saw the last one. I'll get caught up eventually, especially if I start staying up way past bedtime again......

For those of you in the Northern Hemisphere - Happy Autumnal Equinox! It doesn't happen until 9:03 PM board time, so enjoy those last 13 1/2 hours of summer!

I'm wearing a size 2 skirt today. Fits pretty well. Sure fits better than the size 8 I wore yesterday. That fit passably well, and much better than the 6 in the same style I also tried on.

I know this is the bit where I wish for standardised sizing, and I kinda do.

But then I look at so many of my clothes--I'd have to remember too many measurements, and not all of them *have* useful measurements. I mean, if it's free around the hips or sits halfway between waist and hip or has 3/4 sleeves or any of the other stuff that means that guys have a simple dress code and women get to play around--how do you size those?

how do you size those?
