Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'd say straps is straps. It's not like spagetti straps are rare or unusual, such that you would be the first person to ever to wear them in public, so that they have never had reason to make a rule against them. I think I might lean toward the first one, if that scarf/wrap came with it - because a nice wrap makes a lovely gesture in the direction of demure.

In a pinch, you can improvise a shrug by tying the ends of a silk scarf together, like so [link]

ETA: the rest of a thought I'd left out.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Oooh. I have a couple of scarves like that. I may need to give that a try.

You guys are skippers!

PS People think the film has been reversed. So he's actually taking it off.

It's still adorable and made me laugh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That video is reversed....

Trust my rage

Has anyone seen the picture of what I assume is Rep. Giffords on a stretcher being carried into an ambulance? Her skirt is hiked up to her waist so you can the see control-top part of her pantyhose. It just seems so undignified. Like getting shot is bad enough, but then having your clothes in such disarray is literally insult on top of injury.

msbelle (and the board) are helpful personal shoppers.

So I didn't get much planned done today. The soup didn't happen. Neither did clothes shopping. I think the latter was deliberate. But I swam a full 2 mile crawl and didn't lose time like I've been all week, so that's good. And I bought a respirator mask and weatherstripping and installed the latter. Nails are done and keys acquired from neighbors I am catsitting for. That counts, right?

Also, I am sore, but not from the swimming. Remember how the other night I tried to kill myself on the front steps and pulled a muscle? I'm still trying. Somehow misplaced my feet reaching for something this morning and did a full back plant (not sure exactly how.) Except on my hip and shoulder. I was lying there stunned and said aloud "Now how the fuck did that happen?" I'd blame the cats, but both Devi and Loki were staring at me like what the fuck was that from across the room. I swear, it's a talent. I missed a step just a bit ago, at least I was going fast enough, momentum carried me through. I'd really like my joints to tighten the fuck back up. Kinda necessary for reliable locomotion, you know?

And Devi? I know Loki is being especially assholish tonight, but no need to note it by pooping in the corner.

This is her new thing. Sigh. At least it is tidy and so obvious I catch it fast.
