Alternately, there's sitting on the rocks on Venice Beach with a sloth , listening to the ocean for the first time in twenty years.
There. Fixed it for you.
Buffy: How was school today? Dawn: The usual. A big square building filled with boredom and despair.

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

Seriously? My bra fits.
Yeah. I mean, I could jam my phone in the strap, but it would be uncomfortable.
I save time by keeping everything in the same place in my messenger bag. I rarely waste time rummaging. And while I could pare it down a bit, I only carry things I need or choose not to be without as a pedestrian.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
ita, you are on FIRE today. I swear I am not lying to you I almost wrote that a sloth would have to be as tasty as a PIG for it to be a magical meal.

Catching up on the conversation about Dita: she's really, really savvy at promotion and networking. I have no doubt that she did love Manson when she was with him, but there's no denying that being with him made her more visible. Which led to Vogue doing a big photo spread on their designer-organized wedding, her becoming one of the "faces" for MAC Viva Glam lipstick, and walking in a couple of couture shows.
Plus the whole carefully-presented look. Which makes me oddly defensive whenever people start commenting about "OMG, can you imagine doing that every day? I want to see her in jeans and no makeup".

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I haave my 'toybox, - which caries phone, kindle, ipad ,wallet, and a few medical needs ( gloucose moniter and inhaler). But the wallet and phone fit in the med bag -- which can hang a cross my body if I want/need something smaller. and that bag easily fits in a waist pack if I am riding . so sticking stuff in a bra strap would be difficult and lumpy .

Cargo pants. I'm just saying.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It will save 12 years of you having to remember something twice a day
What birth control method requires twice a day? I mean, of hormonal choices. If you're using condoms maybe? And go you for getting laid twice every single day.
I am still ridiculously full of feels about Charles Barkley. For about three years. It's nearly twenty years ago and he's saying he's not pissed about the Paxton shot. I, on the other hand, still cringe just thinking about it. Not even seeing it. But I've also misremembered it as being Steve Kerr. I can't seem to either forget or remember correctly.
I mean it's not sloth magical, but really what is?

And also: I admire the hell out of DvT. I would LOVE to be able to take the Gothic Charm School brand to that level of media attention and lucrativeness. But I also love being able to pay the mortgage and have health insurance, and I don't have enough time & energy to maintain a day job and be a PR whirlwind.

Cargo pants. I'm just saying.
If you can fit what you deem comfortable minimum in your pants, that's cool. But I do find it handy to have my meds and reading glasses and sketchbook on me all the time, so cargo pants aren't an answer to my question. In fact, I'm not comfortable putting anything over $60 that close to bent or sat upon.
My small knapsack has 6 different sections, so I know my money clip is here with the cables, and my knife is here with my cheque book, and my panty liners are here with my gift cards. Its maximum cross-section is pretty much exactly the size of an iPad/10.1" tablet (thanks for the rec, Lee), and I rarely need anything bigger--but I do also have a migration plan to two other larger bags, and my downsizing means I'm down to money, keys, cards, phone and one tampon. I don't downsize often for anything more complex than picking something up from the vending machine on the way back from the loo, or grabbing something from my car.

We know what magic is! I have had sex less worth doing again than some bacon, but my goal is usually bacon+. Standards.

I am firmly convinced that Dita walks among us, because we don't really know what she looks like. She can nip out to 7-11 if she makes it out of the house undetected, because without jet-dark hair and blood red lips, no one will figure it's her.
That's as conspiracy theorist as I get.
