Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
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.
That's nice, but the nemeses of my two previous jobs are on that list.
Finally caught up in Natter.
Anyone need any last minute gift ideas? I'm here to report that both my gifts to my sons (purchased from ThinkGeek) were big hits. Youngest son Mason got these magnetic Bucky Balls [link] and oldest son Max got the Bliptronic 5000 LED Synthesizer. Of the two, the Bucky Balls were most popular, with my nieces and nephews and siblings borrowing some Bucky Balls from Mason to make stuff out of. I think I'll have to get some for myself.
It's weird that none of my relatives are big-time internet users, as they are unfamiliar with most all internet memes. No one in my family had heard of ThinkGeek. Weird, huh?
I have too many gifts/ideas for my mother, and not enough for my father, I think. I guess if I just don't get her the last (lame) thing on my list, I'm OK. I should tell my father to get it instead...
But really? How much fun will it actually be if it is crummy out.
I suppose I'm the wrong person to ask about this, as sitting in the lodge near the fireplace sipping hot chocolate (or toddies) seems like the most fun part of a ski vacation to me.
OK, opinions on this example of Chicago winter fashion? I saw this woman on the train platform last night. She was wearing a regular winter coat (I couldn't tell what she had on underneath), some sort of grey gym shorts, black pantyhose, brightly colored leg warmers and a pair of Converse sneakers.

That's . . . a look that hadn't occurred to me before.
Make the shorts fuchsia and I think she's on to something.

::shrugs:: It's pretty in line with some current trends, AFAIK. Would I rock it? Heck no, but depending on who did and how I might be a little jealous of their chutzpah.
