The War Bonds one? It's my favorite.

That one, yeah. It's awesome.

Trying to make tumblr posts makes me feel old.

I think I saw dolphins on the weekend. Something w. a dorsal fin was breaching out of the water.

Happy Birthday sj!

Migraine today. Stayed home but went to doctor's appointment. My BP was way high but it was impossible to tell if it was just high or if it was because I forgot to take my meds w. me on the weekend. Why do I always get migraines on bright sunny days. I cannot cope w. that much light.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have to vent again about this show- there is an actor in the show who is extremely hard to fit. I am really trying and it is not possible on the budget we have with the skills I have. I made him plus-fours and he won't wear them, so now he just only has one pair of pants for the whole show. Fine-- I think the knickers are perfect, but whatever.

He wears sweatpants as his daily wear, and he WEARS THEM UNDER HIS COSTUME!!!! Which probably wouldn't bother me, if I couldn't SEE THEM DRAGGING ON THE FLOOR FROM UNDERNEATH HIS DRESS PANTS!!! I asked the director about it, and apparently he just doesn't take them off.

I understand why he might want to wear them-- sweat, to keep his legs from rubbing together, what have you, but don't you think he could roll them up? He looks like a kid playing dress up!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

We have kids at the dojo who will wear their street pants under their gi. It looks so uncomfortable. And uber restrictive.

Don't even get me started on the guys (kids and at least one adult) who wear their cup OVER their gi.

In short, people are weird.

What's a Welsh cake? This baker wants to know.

He wears sweatpants as his daily wear, and he WEARS THEM UNDER HIS COSTUME!

WTF. People really are weird.

Of course, my climbing partner last night wore an odd pair of red shorts over her tights, and under her harness. No idea why.

Climbing was good last night, except when I went to leave (we were going to Picante for tostadas and beer), I couldn't get into my car because my key fob, which is the only way to disable the alarm, wouldn't work. Even taking it apart and moving the battery around wouldn't do anything. Eventually I had to call AAA and wait at the gym for an hour until they came and disabled the alarm so I could start the car and go home.

I got pretty chilled waiting around in my clammy workout clothes (the gym is basically a big old warehouse, entirely unheated), and this morning after my walk/run with my sister I got chilled again. It's probably 65 degrees outside, and I wore a leather jacket and a pashmina to work.

... I think there's something wrong with me.

That is weird. And seems super uncomfortable.

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

The guys at krav who wore cups outside their pants are not wearing the same sort of cups as the ones that go under.

Good god, I'm cold. I hate to say it, but I don't think I have enough jackets for this temperature. And my cardigans look weird over shirts. So I'm half wrapped in a kikoye, but it's not exactly geared for typing.

More tea, clearly. And that other muffin.

None of my coworkers are in yet. I've been here for over an hour and a half, and I'm all alone.

Me, too! What's going on?

I even stopped at this new chocolate cafe and got a mocha. Which was awesome, I admit--probably the best I've ever had, with nicely bitter chocolate. But I'm still cold.
