I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It was 80 degrees here today.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oh please. If I were any kind of English Major I'd have noticed before this very minute that a guy named "Frost" went with fire and written a fifteen page paper about just what that means.

Hivemind fashion question:

Tomorrow evening I'm singing in an Advent carol service. We don't have a dress code as such, but the director suggested that we avoid black as too mournful (IOW save the all black for Ash Wednesday and Maundy Thursday) and red as too festive. But much of the semi-dressy end of my winter wardrobe is, you guessed it, red or black.

I do have a nice royal blue button-down shirt. It's dark, but also very bright. It's not even kinda navy. Can I wear it with black pants? Dark brown? Neither?

SHUT.UP.

I've heard rumors of nasty weather tomorrow. I'm ignoring them. But it's really cold out and I'm bemoaning not having warmer house slippers. I think I'm going to buy some faux-crocs and some thick socks and manufacture some warmer house slippers (that won't get stinky.)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'd wear it with black pants. I'd also tell the director to lighten up.

It's 19F here tonight (that's -7C). I was cowardly and let a friend walk home rather than get dressed and drive her home. In my defense, I'm so tired I'm almost shaking....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm full of envy towards the cooking people. I want my kitchen back! Sigh.

Well, in context it didn't seem harsh or picky--more that he was surprised when one of the new choir members asked and was just thinking aloud to figure out what would be appropriate attire.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'd think you could wear royal blue with either black or brown, but I'm pretty sure megan walker would say not the black.

A friend offered me a ride home tonight, but we over shot and I ended up having to get on the train in Manhattan. Ah well.

The Snow Demons (summoned, as usual, by Jilli*) are only in Seattle so far.

* If we repeat it often enough, it's a fact, right?

Lies! Lies! I did not summon the Snow Demons.
