I was shopping in Takashimaya this weekend and EVERYTHING was neutral colored. And sized 2. And HUNDREDS of dollars.
I swear they coordinate trends to be completely unflattering to me whenever I actually need to purchase event clothing.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

My sistah! I'm looking for a dress to wear to my sister's wedding. That I'm in. And I've been told in no uncertain terms, "No black." Spring dresses and me are unmixy things.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Speaking of cremains, here's an artist who turns ashes of your loved ones into pencils. (The lead, anyway.)

My mom is psyched about your book, Allyson, as well as our being in it.
Ok,sign I watch too much crime TV:
The headline "Democrats seek interview with Gonzales aide" makes me picture a somewhat grizzled, Bolanderish donkey saying "Your man Fredo totally dimed you out."
And the aide's like 'That's some *bull*. I'm not going down behind his squeaky-voiced shit, man."
"Well, then, help us help you, there, bunky."

Aw, man. Spring fashion really does hate you. I'm barely seeing any dresses in colors other than neutral.
I could probably put something together with what I have in my closet, but damn it, if I'm going to field questions about Chicago all night, I at least want to look fabulous.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Liese, that shredder sounds awesome! the guy who used to purchase stuff for us would only buy the cheapest ones he could find ... and they'd always burn out after a couple of months. But yours sounds like a good one!
and, in shredder irony, this past winter we had a "community shred" - they brought in 11 industrial shredders and would put up to five bags of stuff through. While I was waiting for my turn, I saw that someone had used the box from their home shredder to carry in their papers to be shredded.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My not-a-date is taking me to a very pretty little Italian place after work tomorrow.
What do I wear?

I am madly in love with this dress, but especially the shoes! [link]

Rolling Stones wildman Keith Richards
Keith gives good quote. My favorite about him is the description "the famously alive-and-still-lucid Keith Richards." My favorite *by* him is "I'm 48. That's a hundred and fifty, in drug years."
