Good to know. :)

Is there some advantage to having more thongs? Do they flop less?

Happy Easter everybody!

I have found that Bill Withers can improve almost any mood. Glad to hear that mac is pulling himself together today.

The Easter Bunny hasn't come by the house yet, but perhaps while Cody and the kids are at the store he'll pop by, and we can have an egg hunt when they get home.

Those shoes would drive me nuts to wear. I hate having things between my toes. I don't even wear regular flip-flops that much -- when I need something like that, I get the kind with a strap that goes all the way across the foot.

The unpredictable drizzle is harshing on my motivation to take a walk. Or do anything.

Pumpkin just brought me the leash....

We took the kids to the playground, which was predictably full of Jews and heathens. Unfortunately, the glorious weather of yesterday has forsaken us, leaving only cold drizzle. Blah.

Is there some advantage to having more thongs? Do they flop less?

The heel part stays under my actual heels better, which I have trouble with regular flip flops skewing under my foot. Mostly I'm trying to train my toes to squish together a little less and these are less of a production to put on and off than the Vibram Five Fingers.

Laundry halfway through wash cycle, oil applied, wipe-down of oil in 5 minutes.

Still raining.

Finally home!! Added a trip up to Wilmington on to our vacation, went straight there aftet landing, because my brother and family from NC had made a rare trip up. We had an early 70th bday party for my mom. I love my family and I'm glad we went but, dag, I am happy to be home.

I don't put "I ran a 2500 person conference" or whatever, but just leave off the I. "Ran 2500 person conference; oversaw three staff members and budget of 700 million" or whatever

I doublechecked an old resume from my last job hunt, and I think this is what I most often do. Sometimes the pronoun gets in, but the formation is always first person in my head, even if English obscures it when I'm going for brevity. Expanding that, even if only mentally, to "she ran a 2500 person conference" sounds really alien to me.

Flip-flops, but with four thongs so all my toes are separated. I am prepared for the shunning.

Halfway through G.I. Joe: Retaliation yesterday I realised that the guy with his feet up on the barrier next to me was wearing toesy shoes and I actually snorted a laugh out loud. It was as impactful (sorry, with the resume talk, corporate-speak is re-jiggered to higher up in the vocab sources) as anything that happened onscreen not involving Dwayne Johnson.

I am all decked out in a bright blue and red coat to go to Mass

My "this is actually allowed, it's bonus/tax refund spending" trip to Zulily netted a red Kenneth Cole trench that I cannot *wait* to see. Scroll down to 3/4 through the coats in this blog entry.

That just reminded me of a lovely outfit I saw near work last week--she really needed one of those style in the streets fashion reporters to show her off. Her palette was white, silver, and pale pink--she had a loose white 80s-looking T-shirt with silver writing on the front, a large white and silver cuff, and a floor length floaty pale pink pleated skirt that I coveted unto a pain in my covet organ. The only thing I wasn't in love with was the pink ballet flats--I don't think she should have continued the colour of the really maxi (just the toes peeping out from under) skirt all the way to the floor. And she was pretty too. All in all, made the outfit I was wearing, that I had actually put thought into (black, grey, purple) look like sweats.

I am trying to put together a little primer on ballpoint pen as a medium (with a fanart focus)--not as a how to, because I knoweth not, but more as a "did you realise it could do this?" angle. That's why I bumped into the full colour photorealism yesterday, and I'd also dropped a line to one of my favourite SPN fanartists, and the reason why I tried ballpoint pen in the first place, asking her permission and for a suggestion of her favourite piece of hers using this too. What a win! Not only is her pic of her own work gorgeous, but she also gave me a link to a non-fandom professional artist with lots of monochrome photorealistic ballpoint work: Juan Francisco Casas (some pictures NSFW, but this example's just fine, workwise. As a not-really-fan of photorealism, I'm definitely a fan of his. I'm only three artists deep into my research, but I could spend forever looking at the work of just those three.

Woo nurse was reasonably on time today, and it seemed like I was going to get out mentally un-pressured, but she lobbied for the earth changing in a couple months, and not just medicinally, but also monetarily--we will be stopping using paper money, and we'll be back [sic] to using gold and silver to trade for goods and services. She also explained my favouritest thing--that I get headaches because it's personal. I'm such a "light" person that the parasitic dark forces are extra-attracted to feeding off me--it's like this for most people who have a lot to give to the world. Is anyone ever, you know, just shy of mediocre in these pitches? Still, she's pushing me to the $35,000 machine guy who flattens frequencies and kills all your bacteria. I will have to formulate some sort of "okay, but now drop it" approach (continued...)

( continues...) for next week.
