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.)

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.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
This quote by Richard Dreyfuss that Wil Wheaton related will stick with me:
We talked about River in the interview, of course, and I think Richard put it best when he said that there is this monster in Hollywood that everyone knows about. It lurks just out of view, and occasionally it reaches up and snatches someone … and it got River.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hec is a skimmer. Pass it on.
I decided that buzz cuts are just buzz cuts, and I could just go to the nearest barber instead of working out my general anxiety and tracking down my regular barber.
Nuh-huh. In the end it's the same haircut, but the cut itself was an awful tentative push-pull of an experience, and she didn't clean me up like you're supposed to. Unless it's harder to clean up after black folk, or something. I dunno. But I'll find Daytona for next time.
