I remember being horrified the first time I saw someone attending mass in shorts. Yes, it was summer in an unair-conditioned church on a late Saturday afternoon (and therefore a tad less formal feeling-
It could be because I've always belonged to small, funky, hippie-esque parishes (*when* I've belonged to a parish, that is), but Saturday Mass, if it's in the 90s and the building is un-airconditioned, all bets are off and people wear shorts. Generally something like Bermuda/walking shorts (vs. Daisy Dukes), but still.
In fact, I remember that once the priest said something like, "*I* have to wear these robes; you don't, so please dress for the weather!"
Sundays were still more dressy, though. (But we're just talking long skirts, t-shirt w/o a corporate logo, sandals, no nylons or anything.)
And if my parish church were a big beautiful cathedral, well, that would be different as well, although it really shouldn't.
Emmett's ready to play.
I'm off to the champeenship game.
Wish us luck! Wish us Doubles!
Wish us good pitching and no errors!
Go Cubbies!
In losing by way of the ignominious hit batsman, the Braves tied the major league record for consecutive one-run losses in away games. Sigh.
Before you leave for the airport, look at yourself in the mirror, and think: Could I meet and IMPRESS someone who would change my life while wearing this?
I don't think I own any clothes that would impress someone who would change my life. The best I usually hope for is clean.
The distinction between a site and a subdirectory isn't a very meaningful one. I mean, it doesn't exist. Subdirectories aren't different from site contents. They're just a means of organising it.

True, I think the point was that the main page didn't have a menu or button to access the subdirectory, you'd need to type it in the URL.
Anyhoo, I've moved to the sipping on wine portion of the afternoon. If I'm online, I'm not drinking alone, right?
Kids are watching Yo Gabba Gabba. I resisted it at first because it is kind of annoying, but it has won me over with it's cute songs.
I'm way late to the dressing for theatre/airplane etc. conversation. I agree with the "dress up for theatre" camp. People dressed like slobs and bringing food into the theatre make my cringe. I feel the same way about going to see the symphony.
In terms of airlines, though...hm. I try not to look like a total slob, but I definitely value comfort over appearance. And the people I know who travel the most, the TV guys like my DexH who are on a plane 2-4 times a week, dress in jeans and a t-shirt and still get upgraded to first class...because they fly 150K+ miles a year. DexH gets really annoyed at people who judge him for not dressing up since airplanes are basically his commute to work, and he's usually so short on sleep that he has to crash out on the plane. Even if my attitude was a bit different than his, I could really understand where he was coming from.
I do agree that a "normal" traveler who doesn't have platinum gold super special shiny status like the the TV guys do will get treated better and get better upgrades if they look nice, though.
So, my street is all posted with filming notices...for Pelham 1-2-3.... for SATURDAY! I may actually See Something! I swear, for the number of filming notices I see, I see a shocking lack of actual filming.
From an AP article on Obama rumours:
The Fox News Channel recently labeled her as "Obama's baby mama" and also raised the inflammatory suggestion that she gave her husband a "terrorist fist jab" when they bumped knuckles the night he clinched the nomination.
Terrorist fist jab?! WTF is wrong with these people?
In terms of dressing for the theatre... it would be wonderful if people dressed and behaved nicely but as long as they're buying tickets, all I ask is that they realize that they aren't at home- the actors (and fellow audience members) are RIGHT THERE- and act accordingly. And buy more tickets and see more shows.
