I am "friends" with my students, and I just discovered that my student wore an evening dress from the costume shop to her senior ball. I could care less, frankly, but I really hope she had it drycleaned before putting it back.

No kidding!! I think all the costume shop people I know would throw a fit if she didn't!

I just had an interview and a first date on the same day. Exhausting! Though at least for the date, I didn't care enough to try to fake anything or censor myself or whatever--it was more an expectation of friends than dateyness. And it ended up OK, she seemed cool, and I think we'll get together again, though there was not magic awesome chemistry, she did turn out to be not just a Joss fan (which I knew from her profile) but a fanfic reader as well. :)

The interview continues tomorrow, and I am so no good at hiding my feelings or saying the right thing (as opposed to "whatever pops in my head"). Sigh. I just tend to chatterbox.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It shouldn't be that hard to contemplate. I mean Emmett was born in 1996 and he'll be 14 this year.

But, still. The 90s are a teenager ago.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I have the same haircut I had in the 90's. Cycles...

Although it looks better without the flannel and baggy jeans.

My nephew was born in '94. It wigs me out that he's about to be 16. I was just knitting his baby blanket!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I had this haircut in the 90s. Ah, plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

L&O is doing a HeLa mystery tonight. Interesting subject choice. I wonder if anyone will know it is a real thing, just about matching the demographics of the family in the episode.

I caught just enough of that to realize what headline they were ripping from.

That is wild, Suzi. And more than a little awesome.

I thought it was interesting, ita. I got what it was! I wish the reality had such a nice ending monetarily. (Edit: OMG, and now it's fake Stacy and Clinton! )
