Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

I'm looking at those Vancouver temperatures, and I dunno. My wool coat is heavy duty. Russian military. No joke shit. But I don't know if I have enough layers still to put under the leather coat in case of chill.

Wait, who am I again? I've been wearing sweaters all summer. I will work something out. Thing is, the leather jacket is burgundy, so it will be a colour matching issue. The wool coat is army green, so just about anything I have goes with that, if I choose that direction.

I'm wearing a watch today. I wonder if that will drive me crazy. Watch with fire animation. Shoes with dragons. Leather skirt. ita's version of full face day makeup. Yup, I'm dressed for work bear.

It drives me crazy when I don't wear a watch. There's no reason to wear a watch any more, what will cell phones and all, but I can't stop.

You may just have to, as if in Rome (and doing as the Romans do), get some fleece--the official clothing of the greater Metro Vancouver area.

I have to wear my watch. I freak if I forget it.

With a watch, time is just a turn of the wrist and a glance away. With a phone, you've got to find the phone, then look at it. And since I have an analog watch, I can check the configuration of the hands to let me know what time segment I'm in without having to translate the numbers into time segment.

Why, yes, I am still very much an analog girl.

Given how small some of the cellphones are -- particularly the flip styles -- I'm surprised somebody hasn't come up with more "covers" that could turn them into wristwatches.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I need a sleek leather coat. I realize I live in Arizona, but still. So today I'm trying to figure out what coat I need to carry on the plane for Ohio this weekend. I am thinking only my light shirt-coat, as I'll have sweaters and turtlenecks I can layer if necessary. It'll be in the 70's here when I leave, 90's when I get to Phoenix. But high 60's in Zanesville and 50's in Warren (lake effect, dontchaknow). But I really hate lugging a big winter coat on the plane, plus I'm trying to go carryon only, backpack and knitting bag.

I like having a big clunky metal wristwatch, as it seems much more potentially useful for self defense than my tiny, mostly plastic cellphone that I'd have to fish out of a pocket.
