Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, I already got rid of all premium channels and don't miss them at all. Next I need to see what the channel line up on Oakland Comcast is if I scale down to the cheapest plan possible. Once Hulu is available on Roku, I'll be thrilled (some shows I love, such as "Modern Family", aren't on video on demand).

I am very lucky in that I don't pay for Tivo (friend gave me her series 2 with lifetime service). But I am more and more tempted to upgrade to the HD Tivo (the one that replaces the cable box) - just for sports! Maybe before next baseball season...

Sorry if this belongs in tech thread.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Whew! Checked into hotel number 2. So you guys need to know the minutia of my day, right?
 
I bought that pizza last night so I could skip breakfast and sleep in. Which was awesome. So I sauntered out of the hotel at 11:30 or so. Went to the dry cleaners I`d google mapped. And they only do hour cleaning for a few random hours. Reader, I went to six cleaners, missing each one by literally minutes. At the last one I surrendered and just got it pressed. So Perkins` dress looks pretty even if it isn`t actually clean.
 
To reward myself I drove all the way to the mall at the north side of town where there was a) Barnes & Noble, b) mango smoothie at Haagen Daaz, and c) Sephora! Where I realized that yes, the smashbox shadows are the colors I want.
 
It was super packed and yes, with Asians, so I didn`t get done up, but I did get advice which should be helpful.
 
So although it didn`t go the way l`d planned, Ima call it a qualified success. Now to work on my presentation and maybe get a quick shower in before tonight`s missions dinner.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Other than pickling for banh mi, what I can I do with daikon?

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

Oh, dear. Trauma. I've been needing to get refit for bras for awhile, it's true. I just...didn't expect to go down a band size, and in my family going up a cup size or three is always fodder for trauma. My sister was very unsympathetic.

Somehow, getting pretty bras should soften the blow, but MFery, that shit was expensive. Maybe I should have stuck with the Wacoal nursing-looking bras. Ah well, too late.

I am loving Goozex. sent off 2 more video games today. Hopefully I can be rid of all of these in the next month or so.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So you guys need to know the minutia of my day, right?

Yes. Duh!

(and not just because of no longer my dress being involved.)

I just...didn't expect to go down a band size, and in my family going up a cup size or three is always fodder for trauma

Going down a band size means you're much more likely to go up in cup size, from what I've heard.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hi all!

Yay Perkins for hiring a house cleaner. It's a sanity maker for me. Even with someone else to do the mopping and heavy lifting, I still find the cooking, the shopping, the daily dishes, spot cleaning, and the--why God why does it never end?!?--laundry oppressive.

In happier news, I just did my nails for the first time in almost a month. Yay pretty! Yay Zoya purples! I have Yasmeen on my fingers and Ki on my toes.
