That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Allyson, buy it and get a wrap for your arms.

I love the dresses on that site, but the silhouettes are not right for me and they don't come in my size. That's okay, I can look at pictures of y'all when you get your dresses and let us see how they look on you. (hint hint)

I wonder if I could knit a kilt? Most knitted skirts don't work well, but a kilt has enough structure to it that it might actually work well....

Thanks javachik; according to the link, I'm winter.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

When I was younger (late teens, early twenties) I looked best in Winter colors. When I hit my late twenties, the blue-reds that looked so good on me when I was younger started making me look like total ass. I still wear a lot of black, but other than that, I wear Autumn colors.

Has anyone else ever had something like that happen to them?

Poking head to vibe Mr. flea.

(Is his dissertation defense taking place on 9 board time? Or are you guys on some other timezone?)

(Also, is it crazy meMeME that I choose to see my computer's latest lack of cooperation - I may need to write a couple dozen pages almost-from-scratch, and the deadline is *next week* - as a sign that all the dissertation~ma I've got is indeed crossing the ocean as I type, and once Mr. flea becomes easily and in-flying-colors-ly Dr. flea, my~ma may hurry back and my computer starts cooperating again? Because that will be great.)

But this post is not about me! Go fleas! Have fun storming defending the dissertation-castle!

9 Eastern, so 6 am board time.

I think if (after this morning) we all focussed our dissertation ~ma at Nilly, she could finish in mere days!

Oh Nilly. I'm sorry to hear that, and crossing fingers it won't be so.

A lot of academic~ma for you all!

6 am board time, check.

Oh, and thanks, flea! I have to finish in mere days, ~ma or not ~ma (31st of July), but regardless, vibing mr. flea (And you! With all the move and all!).

Shir, how odd is it that the first I've heard about the attack in Jerusalem today was through your post here saying you're OK? Sigh.

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

Dissertation~ma!

Color Me Beautiful says I'm an Autumn. That works -- I know that the colors I look best in are the red-orange ones.

It doesn't look like anyone except the terrorist was killed. Barack Obama is supposed to visit Jerusalem today, and I think Gordon Brown is visiting also.
