The one good part about universal sizing is that I would be able to guesstimate what size jeans I wear. I was in a hoity-toity used clothing store, and the sizes were all 25, 26, 27, and I had no idea what size I would be. I know that's not a waist measurement in inches, and it's certainly not inseam. Same again, when you're shopping half-European brands, and the sizing labels do not translate. I'd be happy to memorize my measurements in inches and cm, if only I could rely on being able to use one or the other!

ION, my Sausage McMuffin with Egg had a little bit of eggshell in it.
yeah, my McD's coffee was super strong and not a little bitter (like me). Very disappointing day Chez Ronald.

Because books.
Man, now I want an Egg McMuffin and a hash brown. Without shells.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
AAIGGHH!
Okay, quick: what's about an inch and a half long, brown, has long thin hairlike legs and antennae out both ends, and is currently crawling up my wall? Is this dangerous? Do I need to kill it?
I can't reach it to crush it, and I don't wanna get near it anyway. eww

So far my last hours of summer are dark, cold and rainy.
Although we did have a t-storm before dawn -- that's summery.
I missed the first of the Lynley mysteries and just saw the second. (I was so sure that Helen had died. Maybe that's just in the books?)

Because books.
That was the last book, sumi. With No One as Witness.
I couldn't get into the PBS version of the books. No one looked anything like they looked in my head, especially Lynley. Actually, that's not true -- I like the actress who plays Havers, as Havers, but she's still not the way I imagined the character.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Probably brewed and poured at the same moment.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
No one looked anything like they looked in my head
I'm reading American Psycho right now, and am really glad there doesn't seem to be anything in the book to prevent me from continuing to picture Christian Bale.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A Neocon?

It's hiding in a stack of James Bond paperbacks.
It might be a neocon.
