Yum, BBQ.
I'm off to the mountains for the weekend to cook for a dozen people and do some writing. Should be fun, except for the drive up (bleah).
But first I might nap.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

Happy really good foodanniversary, Barb!
This weekend, I'll be buying a usb hub (need more than 2 ports) firewire cable, possibly another external drive and then I'll be transferring my old computer files to the new, and retire it. Aka, wipe it and send it to my brother who'll salvage it for parts, because he somehow has 3 or 4 partially working laptops of that vintage. Put all together, he probably has 2 working ones. Why he goes for "cheap! maybe I can make it work" rather than just paying a little more all at once to get one that WORKS....oh wait. This is my brother. Of the constantly-worked-on car. His version of fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, off to start the weekend. With grocery shopping and some lying down.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This would almost peg the Bridezilla-meter, huh?
But for every accommodating pal, there’s another who feels going under the knife is beyond the duty of bridesmaid. Becky Lee, 39, a Manhattan photographer, declined when a friend asked her — and five other attendants — to have their breasts enhanced. “We’re all Asian and didn’t have a whole lot of cleavage, and she found a doctor in L.A. who was willing to do four for the price of two,” said Ms. Lee, who wore a push-up bra instead.

“Not dead yet!”
My dinner just lurched uncomfortably. I'd drop kick anyone who told me I'd have to have cosmetic procedures in order to be in a bridal party.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Barb has said exactly what I was thinking about the cosmetic requirements for a bridal party.

Trust my rage
Have been meaning to ask this forever...
JZ and Cash - do either of you need any little girl clothes? What sizes? I'm getting rid of what I can but would rather share with friends before I pass to Good will.
Any other little buffista baby girls under 3? (I don't think so but I"m just checking)

Now tagless for your comfort.
Stephanie, Liv's in 2Ts for the most part but will be heading towards 3Ts by fall. We'd love anything you send. We're currently enjoying Emeline's adorable summer wardrobe.

Our wings are not tired.
I'll be honest.
I wish I had reason to be the recipient of Buffista-hand-me-downs. :(

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Matilda's been in 12-18 months forever but is slowly, slowly edging up into 18-24 and the smaller 2Ts. More or less. Apparently baby and toddler clothing is just as crazy and random with the sizing as adult--she still has a couple of 6-9 month jackets and onesies that fit. We'd be delighted to take anything too small for Liv.

Where does the NYT find these people? The Style section is always crammed full of one article after another about them, although they resemble the actual humans I know in almost no way at all (they're bipedal, so I guess there's that).
