I like the things in the Pyramid catalogue but I once tried buying a skirt from them ... discovering that their definition of "XL" is a size 12.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
The Pyramid dress would have been fine, but for the velvet bodice.

Well, fuck. My little brother just got laid off. He is the only income-earner, and supports his wife, daughter, and 2 in-laws (her parents stay with them for 6 mos/year from China).
I hate this fucking economy.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh shit, Consuela, that's awful.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't remember anything about Gallaudet. I do remember that year as when the last of the shantytown (anti-apartheid protest) was removed from the quad at Mizzou.

Oh, geez, Consuela, that's awful. Is he in a situation where he'd get some sort of package? I hope he finds something sooner than soon.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ugh, Consuela. I hope he can find something quickly.
I had just started law school in DC in 1988, so I definitely heard about Deaf President Now.
I also definitely feel OMG SO old.
Happy last infusion day, Perkins!
Thank you! I may be slightly more excited about that than I was about yesterday's appointment.

Because books.
Consuela, that's awful. I hope he can find something soon.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Best wishes for your brother, Consuela.
I graduated high school in 1980 and law school in 1988. So far, only Toddson is getting much sympathy from me.
