I was reluctant to call 911 after mr. flea and I were robbed at gunpoint a block from our house. We were home safe in our apartment (it was before cell phones) so I argued there was no emergency. mr. flea pointed out that there was an armed man robbing people in our neighborhood, and that surely constituted an emergency. I conceded the point.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

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.

clothing organization
It's a vast conspiracy to overthrow the unseasonable and unwearable citizens of the United States of Clothing. We're going to send those lesser clothes packing. They're unfit and outdated, les vêtements sont morts, longs vivre les vêtements!

I kind of hold to the idea that anything unseasonable or unwearable can be modified into something that IS. But that is my own crazy, and I own it.
(Of course, this is also how I am able to dress three people in addition to myself tonight's event.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Every change of season I think that I'll pack up all the out-of-season clothes and purge and organize the in-season. I may have actually done it once.
I have put away all my clean clothes from last time I did laundry! Well, most of them, enough so the laundry baskets are free for today's laundry and the pile of to-be-hung-up clothes is not too big.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Sad to hear about Dianna Wynne Jones.
Did she die? I knew she'd been ill for a while.
Her website has a bio she wrote up about growing up during WWII - she and her sisters were part of that generation that was displaced by the Blitz. It's fascinating reading.

My neighbor's band is playing "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" for something like the fifth time today. So sick of this.
edit: twice more since I posted this. Going a bit crazy here.

Now they've moved on to what I think is "Freebird." They keep starting it and messing up after a few measures and starting over.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Back from the bar mitzvah. Or should I say "bar mitzvah"? What I found out was that my second cousin and two of his friends got bar mitzvahed in Israel in December. The three boys were called to the Torah today, but it wasn't a bar mitzvah. It was nice, and there was food.

Hil,
I believe it is illegal in 15 states to play "Freebird" after 1983.
