Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I purged three bags worth of crud clothes out of my closet well over a year ago. They're sitting next to the front door. I think it's time they got dropped off at Goodwill.

We've got a beautiful fall day here, too. Not sure of the actual temperature, but I'm guessing mid-60s. With that crisp fall air that energizes you. I drove along the lake with my car windows down after church. Made me all zen and stuff.

The stockboy in the Kroger household cleaners section told me to look in school supplies for Magic Erasers. *headdesk*

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

My favourite commercial misdirection was being told at Blockbusters to look in Comedies for The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, And Her Lover.

I did once also reshelve The Basketball Diaries from the sports section.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It is a gorgeous day here -- I was overdressed in my pleather jacket and t-shirt. My plan was to go shopping down 5th Ave, but I ran into the Mexican parade, so veered over to Lex instead. Good times.

I spent a very large amount of money at Ann Taylor yesterday, but I won't have to do it again for years. I'll have to remember that when I get the credit card bill.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yay, employed shrift!

For Project Runway fans: a recap reminder that Laura didn't really just design that one silhouette: [link]

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Jesse, that's interesting. I have always wanted Bravo to have designer pages so you could check on things like this, just like ANTM does. I have to agree with Rungay that the reason why she keeps getting that note is what she wears, which is pretty much the same three or so dresses. I disagree with what they say about Uli though-- I think altogether her stuff looks pretty good.

Totally. It's a mystery to me how the Bravo site sucks so unbelievably badly. And ditto about Uli -- clear point of view, etc. But Laura's stuff really does look like a collection already.
