Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

shrift, I may have accidentally written Torchwood/Life porn that I just e-mailed you.

Please please tell me this is going to be posted somewhere.

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

Maybe we should have a fashion thread.

Second!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I couldn't answer your belt question. I have one big wide belt that I love and use as much as I can, but even so I'm probably much more conservative than you are. I'd never wear it over a jacket, or slung down over my hips or jauntily askew or any of the millions of other ways I see everyone who isn't me wearing theirs. And mine is just a regular belt with a buckle, not an obi that ties.

If anyone else has a considered opinion to offer, though, I'm totally taking notes, because your obi belt is way cooler than my buckle belt.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

JZ, I wondered if the Georgiana you were talking about was the one from the portrait with her daughter. I remember first seeing that painting (an illustration in a book) years ago and loving it - such a happy picture!

hip deep in pie

My plans are the weekend are driving an hour for a biscuit with megan (oh, and to see my friend, I suppose, but mostly the biscuits.) And I just discovered that Monday is my day off! I feel like I have gained time. Whee!

goes back, finds ita's belt question

So, what about tying it like the picture on the link you gave shows? If the front ties are long enough, I would tie it in a bow, but I like bows.

Maybe we should have a fashion thread.

Second!

Thirded! (What. Don't look surprised.)

Voting for Obama this Saturday as lesser evil. Difference arguable on Domestic, but on foreign policy (where Prez has much more power) seems less warlike. Not just vote on Irag - Iran resolution, general attitude. Hillary seems genuinely more conservative and warlike on foreign policy assumptions than Obama. Neither is great on that issue, both better than Republicans, But Obama is a lesser evil. And when it comes to U.S. foreign policy very small policy differences translate into large difference in number of people killed. I'll take "likely to kill fewer people" over "experience". I know it is hard not sympathize with her when so she is attacked with such misogny from so many sides, but again, "likely to kill more people" trumps "the bastards are being mean to her" with me. (And that is not irony. They really are bastards and really are being mean and unfair to her. It is just even a slight difference in hawkishness translates to a whole lot of deaths.)

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

Was the question how to tie an obi belt? I have no idea, but if I'm tying sashes in front, I usually use some kind of necktie knot so it lies flat.

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

Timelies all!

No big plans for the weekend. Mostly just catching up on tapes, and doing small errands. Last night we went to a concert out in Sykesville, and got home lateish, so tonight is staying in with SGA and laundry.

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

By the time the belt is wrapped back around to the front it's less than an inch wide. From what I could see of the photo, this thin silk wouldn't hold the knot that the leather did. I just ended up tying that stupid twice over knot.

I could try a bow, but it would either be small or floppy.

Doctor doesn't seem to have my sense of urgency, either about the morphine or the edema. He is dropping the morphine just a tad, and telling me to cut out salt for the edema. Am I not being clear or something? And now I'm show and tell for the phlebotomists.
