Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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

The last one is pretty goofy too:

Madame Carven thinks Miss 2000 will hark back to romantic drapery. Concessions to the age might be a triangular hat to cover a head arial and full dress panels convertible to electric wings.

Because of falling personal air machines?

Or women in electric wing-dresses falling out of the sky....

Well, I wouldn't call it romantic, but it is drapery: [link]

And I'm off to shop!

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

So angry at everyone who works here.

Also, I've been putting forth a $20 bet that I get stood up.

Thrive to spite them

Jacques Heim thinks a popular wardrobe item in the year 2000 might be a fishnet costume treated to protect milady from atomic radiation; a full skirt would be designed to envelope the wearer completely

I swear I've seen something like that on Go Fug Yourself.

Maybe that's where today's fugly clothes come from - fashion designers of the 1950s trying to escape the coming Atomic Wars by traveling into the future....

On the first, that really sucks, on the second: t momvoice Allyson. t /momvoice

I discovered today how I can really freak out the circle of local friends that I've had since I moved here: ask for help with something that's not a ride to the airport or somesuch.

Huh.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I watch it by myself, because I tend to flail and make a lot of incoherent noises.

I watch it with Mr. Jane who acts like he's being all indulgent about it, but is always bawling by the end of the hour. I'm usually wishing FNL were a tiny cocker spaniel puppy I could snuffle and cuddle. Not to get all Abdulian about it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

So very sleepy. I consider it a major accomplishment that I didn't fall asleep during the training session for the new system at work.(Which I don't completely understand. Maybe that's how I stayed awake, sheer panic)
