Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I love Nilly.

That is all.

Thrive to spite them

I liked Kelly Osbourne's dress and hair. And I thought the lipstick was fine but clashed with the dress.

I loved Tina Fey's dress. I also really liked Sofia Vergara's dress. I think it fits her personality.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I *love* Homeland and was happy to see it win all the Emmy's that Modern Family wasn't nominated for. (But poor Mad Men! Such a great season, but it's not the hot new thing anymore.)

I haz purple hair. My bathtub looks like I skinned a Muppet in there, but at least my hair will look good in the wedding photos!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I *love* Homeland and was happy to see it win all the Emmy's that Modern Family wasn't nominated for. (But poor Mad Men! Such a great season, but it's not the hot new thing anymore.)

I was looking at the list of nominated dramas, and there is some superb television on the air these days. (Very happy about Homeland's win.)

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

I got distracted from the post, as I do when I get past my bedtime, came back, thought I was finished...yeah.

I meant to say basically, in a typically late night long winded over conversational way, that I hope she was having the same issues meshing with a designer that Jennifer Garner or Emma Stone does, not that she was dealing with professionals who found her rules hard to work with. Because they're not all that restrictive.

I'm looking at applications to help organise my life. When you look at something like file this or Manilla, why should I feel comfortable typing in my passwords? I did with mint.com, for reasons I can't actually articulate, but these apps will allow me to have downloaded digital copies of my bills (as opposed to emailed ones, or links I follow), and that fits with what I'm trying to accomplish right now. But I get to "enter your account info", have a mild panic attack, and back out of the app.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I don't think getting to up and dressed and leaving the house is supposed to be this hard to get to, even on a Monday.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

FWIW that's what I thought you meant.

It's a sign. The gods want you back in bed.

Of course by the same token the gods must want me to head into work. Isaac got dressed and ready early today with no complaint so he could play briefly on the iPod before school. Whoa. That was unexpected.

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

Here's the article: [link]

The Emmy gown was specifically, and painstakingly, selected to cover Ms. Bialik’s arms and much of her chest, conforming to the religious modesty guidelines she has embraced. Last year, she wrote in her blog about the arduous quest for a suitable dress, which she called “Operation Hot and Holy.”

It succeeded only after Ms. Bialik, frustrated with her stylist (“It was not a meeting of the minds,” she said), bought her own dress online. This year her new stylist, Alison M. Kahn, chose the gown, by the designer Pamella Roland. (“I don’t know who she is,” Ms. Bialik said in August, “but I don’t know who anyone is.”)

Even so, stylist and client had a back-and-forth about the contours of the neckline, with Ms. Bialik acknowledging that she “rather subjectively decided” that the original version was too “plungy.”

“It became about it being plunging, which to me is just one of those distinctions of modesty that I’ve decided to stay on the other side of,” she said. A compromise was reached.

I'm back in life automation mode. I'm exploring the add-ons for Evernote, my most-used app on my Android devices. I found a templating tool. The graphics on the notes it spits out are way too cutesy for me--I need to work out how to strip those down, but I have altered one to my needs this morning: Dr's appointment. Hopefully this helps stuff. I was just keeping "remember for Dr. F" and "Dr. F said" notes, but this is better.

I've created a section for current medications, so I can fill out their form *properly* (I always forget something, a dosage or something stupid), and a Prep Notes section for stuff I know I want to mention (do I need a new methadone script? What did the pain doctor say? How's the ER been going?), a Discussed section, and a Takeaways/To Do section was well as standard timestamp and appointment identifiers.
