'Not Fade Away'
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.
3-4 loads of laundry a week.
Desperately craving egg custard, no idea why.
annoying co-worker is a negative energy sponge - that without even doing anything directly today is seeping good energy away from the building. I am not the only one who feels it either. A co-worker and I went to lunch today and both of us dread her seeing us leave or return because she is bothered by not being invited - to thepoint she will same something directly to you. she creates soo much tension.
Mmm, custard.
A long time ago we were talking about the -algia ending of nostalgia. I just heard on a TTBOOK from last month that nostalgia started out as a medical diagnosis for extreme homesickness that was thought to be likely to be fatal! Circa early 19th century.
10 Most Inexplicably Tiny Outfits in Science Fiction History
Am I weird to think Sting looks kinda' good here in his plastic speedo? The Humungus from The Road Warrior and Zed from Zardoz also are here. Plus some ladies and Spartans.
Not weird. Sting totally rocked it.
Mad Max 2 = Road Warrior, yes?
Sting totally rocked it.
HELLS YES.
Yeah, Sting made an impression on me when I saw the movie. I was a huge Police fan at the time, but not yet admitting that I have same-sex attractions.
Oh yes, mmm, Dune Sting.
Feel better, Shrift!
Liese, these? And these were ALL I could find of this type.
Hah! More.
No, the first style is the right one, but I'm pretty sure that's the same brand I bought, which seems to be a) splintery, b) weak, and c) prone to popping apart in alarming ways. I have a few really old clothespins from when I lived in the mission house, and they are smooth (probably from wear) and much sturdier, possibly made from harder woods. The spring is much smoother action, and never slips.
I love the fact that you're picky about your clothespins. I love the fact that you're familiar enough about clothespins and their use to *be* picky. Good luck with your search.
Our neighborhood prohibits clotheslines. I do not miss pinning up individual socks for four people on a 20-degree day, taking them down freeze-dried. But I do miss sun-dried sheets.
ETA a sense-making "up"
Apropos of this conversation, I just hung a load of laundry on the clothesline to dry. And the towels are in the dryer.
Now I need to wash dishes, walk the dog, clean the bathroom, mop the kitchen floor, and make a batch of granola. Sheesh.
Unrelatedly, I am an awesome girlfriend who got the geekiest birthday present EVER for Tim (his birthday is in November): I made a donation to the Let's Build a Goddamn Tesla Museum campaign in his name and got him the cool-ass t-shirt.
I seem to be starting a trend of getting him geeky t-shirts for major gift-giving events (I got him the Take It Apart Wondermark t-shirt for Christmas, although that was really so I could get the Tinkerer's Handbook with it [you can't buy the Tinkerer's Handbook on it's own; you can only add it to something else you buy]), but he wears the hell out of the Take It Apart shirt, so I must be doing something right.
