This is why I take my vacations in June and October, I know better than to think I'll get a full week off during mega-storm season. It is not rare for approved vacations to get cancelled, as well.

Oh my God- never let me procrastinate like this again. Of course, since costume work expands to fill the space it is given-- it is possible even if I worked yesterday, I would still be doing 20 hours today.

Oh Sophia, I thought of you last night when I heard a story about a family friend who does costumes -- they rented a set of costumes for the kids in "The Sound of Music," but then they didn't have the curtains! So she still had to make them all.

OK, I didn't clean, but I did make two salads and shuck and freeze the peas.

It's sad that I knew the answer to the stormtroopers trained for cold climes called snow troopers?

This time I think I just forgot that I am the designer, so I have to watch rehearsal to Tommorow and not sew one step ahead of the show

It's gotten clouded over here. I suppose I should check for area t-storms headed this way.

There's been a juvenile robin hopping around the backyard, far less wary than an adult would be. I know it's a juvenile because it still has speckles overlaying the red on its breast!

I am trying to work out what the woman that the jeans I'm wearing fits well looks like. And then trying to work out if I'd want to look like this.

I think it would mean having a shorter waist and less of an ass. I'm good with the size of my butt and theoretically good about the placement of my waist (clothes seem to be cut too high or too low for my waist more often than they're cut right, but it's hella subjective up in here when it comes to fit)--I just need more jeans that fit in both those regards.

It's somewhat of a mix between fashion and my shape why I can't often find a pair of jeans, for instance, that look good with a top tucked in and bloused up. Too high, and they're mom jeans. Too low, and the belt is cinching far enough below my natural narrowest point, leaving me looking bulky and awkward.

Another cooll thing would be fitted tops with a long shirttail, so the belt isn't at the narrowest point of my visible silhouette--the shirt takes care of revealing that higher than the belt.

Is there an Android app that solves all of this for me? There must be. Or should I be asking Siri for fashion tips?

Sophia, re: refreshing. See the little swirly thing with an arrow at the far right of your URL field? Press on that and it will refresh your mobile browser.

I think I might have asked this before, but I am listening to the radio, and they are playing MONY MONY. And it was banned from our school dances because it was dirty. But it was the only song banned, and it doesn't seem that dirty to me.

it's not the song itself, it is the chant that people do with it. nothing online seems to have any idea where the chant started, but pervasive from the early 80s on. hey! What? Get laid! get fucked! or Hey Motherfucker! get laid! get fucked!
