The news seems extra-special-depressing this morning. Which is why I am ignoring Jessica's link.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I can't believe that poor family. I hope their lives are charmed from here out.
From way back, but is it me or does Kelly Osbourne look like she's dressed as a young Phyllis Diller? [link]
I just had my annual exam and am treating myself to a pain au chocolat and coffee before heading to work. Hey, I had to fast. Blood sugar crisis, doncha know. And let me say once again, I freaking love my GP.

I just signed up for another round of nerd speed dating. It turns out there are at least two nerd speed dating groups in Brooklyn.

I'm cranky, behind in my work and am being constantly interrupted. Also, the coffee doesn't seem to be working. I think I need a vacation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Some of my clothes doesn't have a dominant colour. But some of my colour-mixing is completely off the wall. I don't wear two different coloured items, like, ever. But I'm willing to do some wack-job stuff every now and again in just the one garment.
Basically, if I had to colour-sort something striped with two even weight stripes my brain would just fritz.
Oh, and I separate krav stuff from non-krav exercise stuff from other casual knits, and casual knits are sorted by sleeve length. Which seemed important at the time.
But since colour for me is "wear with black" or "black" further sorting is not required.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
While mine isn't that big or that neat, I do organize my clothes by type (pants, shirts, skirts, dresses) and color. I realize I may have Issues.
Me too. Shirts are further divided into sleeveless, short sleeve, and long sleeve, and arranged by color within each category.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow. My clothes are pretty much shoved in there at random, with the things I wear more in the middle....

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
What Jesse said. I kind of shove pants and stuff to one side and shirts to the other, but that doesn't really last very long.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Wow, I just a gorgeous book on the San Francisco Golden Gate International Exposition (1939-1940) that you can read online with all it's lovely photographs.
This was the exhibition on Treasure Island where they built an Art Deco wonderland.
