Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've got a bunch of old electronics stuff I need to get rid of. Need to figure out where the centers are.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm in the camp of Reusable Grocery Bags/Totes, Yay! But also in the camp of Have Two Dogs, Need Bags For Poop When We Go On A W-A-L-K.

ION, remember the links I posted to the cool-ass steampunk jewelry? And how I said that if I bought any of it, The Boy would say he could make it?

We were at a fetish-y event this weekend, and one of the vendors was a jewelry designer -- The Boy bought me this: [link]

(And then later, said, "We get machine parts like that at work ALL THE TIME -- I could totally make that!" All I could do was laugh and laugh and then show him the post I made predicting that he'd say that.)

Anyway -- shiny! Steampunk-esque! I loves it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Cool, Tep!

Very Cool Teppy!

While in Brooklyn on Friday, something in the angle of the light, the caveiness of the bridge we were walking under, and the sound of having an elevated train go overhead did something to our group and the following conversation happened - which still cracks me up:

"This is like the opening of a novel..."

"where people are living under a bridge?"

"No! more like passing through on their way somewhere, wearing Victorian clothes and carrying laptops."

(so I had to chime in) "Passing through on Segways? Or, velocipedes?"

"Oh wow! Totally Segways! With the ribbons from those little hats streaming behind them! Cool! Yeah! Like that! What's a velocipede?"

... all of this, before we got to the bar.

The status is NOT quo.

That necklace is fantastic, Teppy!

So my fever broke! I don't know if it's going to stay broken, but I'm so relieved right now. I got a little overzealous, though. I put clothes away, showered, cleaned the kitchen up, and scooped litter boxes. Now I'm collapsed on the couch. I feel like I ran a marathon. I need to remember that feeling better does not equal healthy. Oy.

... sorry, sorry. I'm delighted that Steampunk is taking off and becoming well-known. It just cracks me up to see all sorts of posts on, say, the steamfashion LJ comm where people are asking for help incorporating Steampunk elements into their everyday wardrobe.

Teppy, the necklace is lovely!

No, it does not. Trust me on this. I left the house yesterday (yay for putting on makeup and proper clothing!), and found this out pretty quickly.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Nice one, Tep. I love that he both bought it for you and said exactly what you said he would.

I use the biodegradable dog poop bags. They hold together long enough to get into the garbage can and, afaict, get picked up with the restof the trash. I'm taking it on faith that they biodegrade at all. I have recently learned that you canfeed pet waste to worms if that is all the worms ever get and you don't use the worm castings on plants you are going to consume.

it's hard to find trashbags you can hang over a door knob and I might have to get an actual trash can

I've been hanging drawstring-style kitchen bags from a hook not much higher than a door knob while I look for a the perfect garbage can. It works okay.

Well, that was what sprung to my mind.

The people I was with were delighted at Steampunk as concept. And I am sure, in one case, a potential tap root for inspiration, but I don't know how practical they consider it. Nor are they familiar with any literature. Nor do they know anyone who lives it, thinks it through, and so on. So I think they like it as a catchy ad, with some powerful music in the background, if it helps to sell the car.

I feel differently. And am amused that they mistook my tone.

Still wondering where I fit in though - (and voila: my inner conflict on display-) I need a corner that is William Morris, meets Curta Calculator, meets Gothic revival. Yes. I know that the three are mutually destructive. Nice to meet you, I'm Sox.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

aw you guys, take care of yourselves! Get some rest. And drink plenty of fluids.
