Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

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.

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

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.

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.

My apartment has two huge closets (well, huge by my standards -- much smaller than the ones in that picture), and very little floor space for a dresser. Every dorm room I had in college was the same -- lots of closet space, not much folding storage space. I got in the habit of hanging up pretty much everything except underwear and pajamas, and once I'm hanging things up anyway, it's not any more difficult to make it organized.
