This is odd. There are two divorced men I work with, and they always refer to their ex-wifes as "my wife." I don't think they think they're going to reconcile, and maybe it's just a reflection of them not wanting to be divorced, but it's disconcerting. I keep wanting to say, "But I thought you were divorced."

Please go click around my DH's cool blog [link] and read his reviews and stuff [link]

I clicked around! I even clicked on assorted ads, affiliate and sponsored links.

Is this another piece on Goth fashion - or the one that's been on the NYT website for a while?

sumi, it's another piece on Goth fashion. Between the FIT exhibit and the "return to Goth" that is supposedly a fall fashion trend, we spooky types are currently media darlings.

Bless you, Hec!

I have his blog bookmarked and I try to remember to click around in there at some point during the day.

half-assed meara, about the only kind i do these days...

Then he reminded me about all the times I've handed over keys to buffistas without being clear on RL names.

Hee! ::waves back::

I'm wondering if there's something I could do this year that might appeal specifically to the, er, "alternative" kids. That is, both the goth kids and the not-quite-goth-but-similarly-disengaged (from mainstream high school culture, anyway).

Emily, there are some books out there that might be helpful, like Sew Subversive and Generation T. Everyone's got T-shirts to mod, and a trip to a thrift store would provide cheapos for those who don't. Many of the Generation T mods are low- or no-sew.

Of course, I'm also a descriptivist rebel who merrily splits infinitives and ends sentences with prepositions and spits in the face of the Latinate rules shoved willy-nilly onto a Germanic language by stick in the mud twerps with some sort of mental hard-on for a dead tongue.

God, Plei, that's one of the sexiest things I've ever read.

Other than that, I don't have much. Woirk, feh. Waiting for 5 so I can go hear some music and socialize. First time KBD gets to meet any of my friends, should be interesting.

Taking a long nap was not on the to do list for today, but my body somehow made it a priority. Too much left to do and no time to do it.

I have to run to a meeting and then class, but suggestions for Jessica from another mom of an underweight kiddo: hummus and refried beans. Franny could eat them all day.

Franny could eat them all day.

Me too! I just had like 1/2 a container of hummus.

Maybe I'm secretly a toddler?!

Hummus is great! My wife and kids won't eat it though, crazy.
