Natter 59: Dominate Your Face!
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
No a/c. Am pissed. Have 9:30 meeting so I may not be able to do the face time office intimidation. 82.9. Fuck.
I got yelled at by babushkas outside Russian orthodox churches in Vladimir. I wasn't even intending to go in, in jeans and short sleeves. They wrapped my jacket around my head and shoulders, shoved me in and gave me a lecture on the trinity. Of course, it was in russian, so I didn't understand a damned thing. Ah, the twilight of the Soviet empire...
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.
It won me over when I saw Elijah Wood on doing his "dancy dance."
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.
Um, yeah. I don't travel quite as much as him, but yeah.
All this talk about dressing properly made me go buy this dress [link] So I am properly kitted out for my mom's 80th birthday dinner. My only other dressy summer dress is 10 years old and I thought it was time for a new one. The color is a little odd--I will either look resplendent or like a choir teacher from 1978. I am hoping for the former.

Franny was dancing along with Elijah the other day, and the steps are redonkulously cute when done by a little girl.
Scrappy, that's a GREAT dress!!! I vote resplendent.
I have a bet going with a coworker, just one more game and I win this:
If he wins, he gets one of these:
So far, I have three green clovers, and he has two purple sad faces and one purple smiley face.
