Mal ,'Safe'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Happy baby day, Callaluna!
New Buffista Sprog! Whee!
How far are we from world domination yet?
Datee called. Hearing how beat up from last night I am, he said he'll call tomorrow.
Which is good, because right now I don't even have the strength to pack the bag for the 2 days sci-fi convention in Tel Aviv, not to mention talking with strangers.
I need some good TV marathon to nap in front of it. After it, and possibly a massage, I might be able to be in touch with humans again.
Congrats and good luck, CL!
Ugh. I had horrible dreams last night. Not nightmares, just the kind of off-putting rejection dreams that made me wake up feeling out of sorts and loserish.
Kristin, I saw you'd asked about someplace to get complete outfits assembled - have you tried a department store's personal shopper service? might cost, but it could save you some aggravation.
I skipped a whole bunch of posts. I have survived the seder. For a change, this year my uncle was grilling me for half an hour about where I've applied for jobs and why I haven't applied to others and why I don't have a job yet. Also, everybody got cushions this year, because the chairs are kind of falling apart and the seats have no support without an extra cushion.
Callaluna, happy birth day!
omnis, I want that Nissan too! And the garage to put it in.

Ohhh. Nordstrom's has an awesome personal shopper service. The Closet Therapist had a great experience: [link] I love them because when Nordie's closed down in Fairbanks, they offered personal shopping services to the one in Anchorage and discounted the shipping. (The shopper picks out a bunch of stuff, sends it up, the customer (aka my mom) keeps what she likes and returns the rest.)
Shoppers work on commission, so you might have to take a hard line on budget, and Nordie's might be a little staid, but I do really love them.

(For the cost of a plane ticket to & from, I will happily be your personal shopper. I will go through your closet, figure out what outfit combinations you can do with what you already have, and then help you find the pieces you still need. Plus, I'd get to see you!)
As an example of how reality is infinitely stranger than anything I could ever make up - I was out at lunchtime and there were earnest young people asking for donations to an environmental cause. I didn't get snagged by the one on my block because as I walked by she was deep in conversation with a man who told her that before he could make any contributions to saving the Earth he had to work on his home ... and he's from Jupiter.

I would LOVE this. I desperately need someone to force me to pull everything out of my closet and help me sort through it. Megan Walker started the process with me last year and was awesome, and I know you would be too. Right now I really just need a couple of good interview outfits (and I do have a few things that work, but not enough to feel confident) because I bought a bunch of great new pants last year...and then gained ten pounds back and can't wear any of them. ARGH. Since I'm interviewing for a director position, I need to find some conservative (yet quirky, because I'm still me), well-made, quality outfits that will impress the people at the ritzy private school.
