Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am officially moving to a new project on Monday. That's both good and bad, but I will appreciate a shorter commute, and will hopefully be less deadly bored. Or I'll have to pretend to be less bored, since I'll be out in the open.

Crap, ita, that sucks.

I really don't get Tim's list. This is my list of essentials not including everything I wear to work every day, right? Seriously, it reads more like one of those "two weeks in Europe with only a carry-on" lists - not really practical for actual living.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay, Joe!

I still like the list, but maybe because I'm still on a search for a good standard pair of pants. I own pants, but none of them are just right. So I get that the list seems stupid, but not for those of us who still need help buying stuff!

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

I view the list as a good starting point, as a list of clothes that can, if properly chosen, be used very flexibly in a number of outfits for a number of different occasions.

Okay, me, I'm going back to sleep to wait for word from my GP or my acupuncturist.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Friend from Lake Charles says all is cool. It scraped by between Beaumont and LC.

I occasionally think I will pare down my closet and concentrate on creating "a look" for myself, but I have so much trouble deciding what that would be. Circle skirts and shirt dresses? A-line skirts, sweet tops and jeans? WHO AM I!?!

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

But the list doesn't help with that -- you know you need pants.

I bet if I read his book I would be less annoyed. But no list with the single item "a skirt" is a good one. I'm saying, it's a list of basic men's essentials poorly translated to women.

Anyhoodle, finally talked to my purported wedding planner. Phew. Also, my toe is doing better, I can kind of walk normally.

Interestingly enough he says he doesn't have a list for men. Or didn't at the time I was reading that particular interview--he said he was going to put one together, though.
