I'm pretty sure I'll never have matching luggage. I tend to only buy luggage when what I have isn't going to work. And then I have to store it. Which is why I have a closet containing one hardsided case I haven't used since I lived abroad, a large rolling duffle known as the heel-eating-green-montster, a camp pack I haven't used since Africa, a rolling largish case, an overnight bag, a standard college era backpack, various toiletry bags and there may be a cloth sided case I hate because it always tips over. I think I'll get rid of that one.
I'm never buying a set at this rate. I have too much I rarely use anyway!

how are you doing?
I am ok. My office is toasty warm, which is always a plus. And I have delicious cream of asparagus soup. Double good. How are you?
Didn't read the Marie Claire thing, but I do want matching luggage. I also want a hatbox, although I don't know what I'd ever do with it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Suddenly, it's looking pretty good
"Ugly Betty," a TV show about an awkward young woman fighting for her professional survival in the unforgiving world of high fashion, is one of the most watched new series of the season.
The Uglydolls, homespun monster toys with stubby limbs, missing eyes and names such as Ice Bat, are showing up in the company of A-list celebrities.
A teenager with green skin and bad hair has taken the theater world by storm as the heroine of the subversive Oz remake, "Wicked."
Even high fashion, having survived its initial shock at Marc Jacobs' "lumpenly ugly" fall 2005 collection, is showcasing military boots with $3,000 cocktail dresses.
Hey, is it just us?
Or is Ugly suddenly looking pretty good? "There's definitely something going on out there," says David Horvath, co-creator of the Uglydolls, who says he gets fan letters from people who see his frumpy, asymmetrical monsters as an alternative to mainstream beauty culture.
"I think a lot of the fashion dolls and a lot of the magazines that are there for kids and teenagers and even adults, if you take it for what it really is, an advertisement or a promotion, it's fine," he says.
"But I think when you get too into it and try to change yourself so you can look like that or act like that, it's a breath of fresh air to have something come along that tells you, `You're totally fine the way you are. In fact, you're beautiful the way you are.' "

Start wearing hats!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Briggs and Riley. Pretty much this one, but I think an earlier version.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It can't be that hard to get matching luggage if one wanted; every time I go to a department store discounter like Loehmann's or TJ Maxx they're overflowing with the stuff.

How are you?
I am surprisingly tired today. Like feel like I've been beaten up. It's odd, but not esp. distressing. I will undoubtedly take a nap soon. And maybe hem some pajamas.
I also want a hatbox, although I don't know what I'd ever do with it.
Put love letters and photographs and then store it in the closet.
