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.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

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

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Vanity Fair decided to recreate some of the classic scenes from the films of Alfred Hitchcock using modern day actors and actresses. Imagine Charlize Theron in Diam M For Murder, Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr. in To Catch a Thief, Seth Rogen in North by Northwest, Scarlett Johansson and Javier Bardem in Rear Window, Niomi Watts in Marnie, Keira Knightley and Jennifer Jason Leigh in Rebecca, Emile Hirsch and James McAvoy in Strangers on a Train, Rene Zellweger in Vertigo, Jodie Foster in The Birds, or Tang Wei, Josh Brolin, Casey Affleck, Eva Marie Saint, Ben Foster, Omar Metwally and Julie Christie in Lifeboat.

Those are cool. Except Seth Rogan as Roger Thornhill is just wrong.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Except Seth Rogan as Roger Thornhill is just wrong.
Better than Joe Rogan.

Well, yeah. That goes without saying.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm not sure it's live yet, but if you go to Vanity Fair's website, you should be able to see those pics as a slide show with a Hitchcock interview running over them. (We licensed the interview to them.)

Better than Joe Rogan.
That's true of anything that doesn't involve the phrase "...and that's when the lethal and humiliating on-set accident happened."

I'll have to look at that Vanity Fair thing--I like their choice for Rear Window.
Wee! I just filed my taxes using my company's Turbo-Tax-like product for the first time, and everything went smoothly except for my getting confused over whether I had to file a certain form twice (once in fed and again in state), which I figured out eventually that I didn't. I had to pay, but I was expecting to and had withheld some money in my savings account to cover it, and I am delighted to find I have quite a bit left over!
I will have to contact the bookstore and see how to have them increase the amount of my withholding there, since I found out that for $2000 in income, they only withheld $6 for federal taxes. WTF? It should have been closer to $200.
