I have already been efficient and Done Stuff for over three hours (okay just barely two, but who is counting). That's enough for the day, right?

Because I'm crazy: 43 laps today, 41 w/o a rest. That's either 2150m or 1960m, depending on whether the pool is yards or meters.

sara, I think that's why the size 6 clothes.

I still think ON sizing is whack. I have a size 8 pencil skirt from 1993 that I can't quite zip up yet.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Old Navy sizing keeps changing, every few years it seems. I almost always wear a smaller size in new clothes from there than I wear in the clothes from a few years ago that still fit.

Aw, man. My birthday is only a few days after the October 21 Rapture and I was planning to be all raunchy and blasphemous and shit. I guess I can probably still do that. But where is the shock value going to come from if all the righteous folk are gone? UNFAIR!!!1!

sarameg, I can't speak for Old Navy, but you cannot judge by sizing in vintage-1993 clothes. In college I generally fell between an 8 and 10. Now I wear a 6 in most brands. I am the same size (my old college clothes that I still have still fit - if anything are snug; I still wear men's Levi's 32 waist.) Sizing is continually shrinking. When I'm 60 I expect to be in a 2.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So the Raptured just float on up to to Heaven, right? I wonder if they can send text messages on the way.

I think I've mentioned here that I've been reading the Slacktivist's most excellent critique and commentary on the Left Behind books, where he really gets into the crappy theology these Christianists use. I highly recommend his blog!

JZ's talked about it before too. I have the first book but have never made myself read it. I'd like to read that one and then dive in to the Slactivist takedown.
