No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Because books.

She and Ben are my happy place, I have to say. Thanks, all. I would tell her she got compliments, but she's already well aware of her cute as it is.

Brenda, I'm sorry life is a big stress ball for you right now. I think Kat's approach is the best idea right now. Hope everything improves quickly.

Sara's cut is super cute!

I hate shirts with pockets on the chest. I do not need more business going on there! And I love the way a nice turtleneck looks but I HATE the feeling of them on my neck. arigh strangulating!!

I did not wear pink today, sorry. I wore new burgundy wrap cardigan, grey 3/4 sleeve shirt, black pencil skirt, navy & black zigzaggy tights, and my new grey shoes of awesome. I was quite pleased with myself!

The tights are Missoni for Target. Some of that stuff was very reminiscent of that terrible designer who won Project Runway last summer. I can't remember her name. We call her Running Through Thunder. Anyway, the tights are cute.

I'm off to music club tonight. There will be Korean fried chicken there. I haven't been to music club in months but KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN! (Possibly I love fried chicken more than music...definitely love fried chicken more than talking about music!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Korean fried chicken is good times, for sure!

And that sounds like a hot outfit.

OK, so I know this wouldn't work for everyone, and it is not substitute for professional help and/or dealing, but I just have to put it out there: when I'm stressed out, I try to remember to drink more. More often, not a ton at a time, but one or two drinks after work definitely takes the edge off.

I have to agree with this.

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

Always consider hookers and blow.

My phone headset is busted so I have to use the handset, and this meeting is coming up on 2.5 hours. And I spent all that time with it on one side. Ouch.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay new thread!

Gah! Stealth migraine jumped me at 6:30. I do not need to be light- and sound-sensitive just as this week's Glee airs!

I concur. Verrrrry helpful.

Which reminds me, I should go get ginger beer tomorrow. Or wine.
