Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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.
Those are really cool, shrift.
I didn't remember until I was already in the car driving to work that the reason I don't wear this dress is that it has major structural issues, so now I am hiding in my office with the door closed so I don't end up showing people the run in my hose and the newly acquired bruise on my thigh (stupid bed frame). It's going to be a long day.
Okay, I will postpone any potential mocking. FOR NOW.
Talk, people! I don't want to work!
Those are really cool, shrift.
Thanks! They're a lot brighter than they look in that picture. I'll have to camwhore later.
Okay, I will postpone any potential mocking. FOR NOW.
I also got a nice but boring pair of silver frames, so you can just pretend I'm wearing those right now if my so-hip-I-can't-see-over-my-pelvis-ness is threatening you!
Your new glasses are cool, shrift.
You are too hip for me. I got a haircut yesterday, though.
And since the boss is out on vacation the rest of the week, there are murmurings that we should all wear jeans tomorrow.
The way I see it, in the US there is a tendency to eat huge portions and have very little exercise as part of daily life - then the media pumps out an "AMERICA IS THE FATEST NATION EVER AND IT'S GETTING WORSE" campaign every few month (truth? not? who cares). In US society (maybe others, I don't know) there is a premium put on thin and/or physical prowess (athletes for example) and possibly as a result USians have a imbalance (perceived or real) between behavior that leads to fat and values which seek thin. The gym/nutrition/diet industries foster both ends of the machine - the psyche of the country is reported to us as fact whether or not it is and I totally think it changes people's self-esteem.
Ooh, I like those glasses, shrift!
That reminds me, I have to make an eye doctor appointment for October, because my prescription has changed radically this past year, so much so that I have had to take my glasses off to read things in dimmer light or smaller print. I think it's time for bifocals.
Those glasses are great.
Nice glasses! My mom has multiple pairs of glasses which she swaps out depending on what she's wearing, and it makes me jealous sometimes.
