and they are ll based on an ideal figure (in one book they called him the regular Apollo) of 38 chest, 33 waist, 39 hips, and 5'8"

...that seems more hourglassy than I picture a well-figured guy to look! But that book sounds fascinating!

As I feared, doing this sewing class means I am spending All The Money on fabric and notions and things.

I also went and bought "This Means War" so I can watch the alternate endings.

Bah. Tom Hardy fandom thinks they know bowlegs...

There are multiple posts citing the doomed ship of Jensen's knees...

Never shall they meet or be together. Never.

Heartbreaking...

Tumblr search makes me crazy. So inconsistent. And WTF with not searching multiple tags.

ION, 42 is old to be wishing you were an only child, isn't it?

I called my mom today and complained and almost cried for 30 minutes. She wanted to know if I wanted to fly home with the kids. She'd pay for the little guys tickets, but it would still be a fortune.

I'm pretty sure my mother occasionally wishes she were an only child and she is "in her 60s."
