Timelies all!
Sitting at breakfast at OVFF. Concerts start at noon.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Punishingly Intricate
I'm eating an apple AND drinking apple cider! Going to the market feels like a huge accomplishment since we were out late hween partying.
Kate! I keep meaning to tell you that there's an Atomic Books coming to your town! East Nashville, I guess? I'm not sure of all the details but I think we may be coming down sometime this spring to celebrate the opening!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I understand loving the character, but...blackface? REALLY? Does the woman not have any sense, or at least friends who said "WHOA -- bad idea. REALLY BAD IDEA."

The status is NOT quo.
Don't read the comments. I just...you would think I would have learned by now, but no.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm in the middle of an all-day chorus retreat. Good times?

Oh, dear sweet FSM. I don't know that actress, but indeed--has she no friends to tell her what a bad idea that is?
Me, I went for a run this morning--first time in several weeks, since my plantar fasciitis had been giving me a lot of trouble. I think it went okay: my foot is not flaring up again, yay. The down side is that I'd lost a lot of aerobic conditioning, and had to walk a lot. Still, yay running!
I also have a cake in the oven to help celebrate my sister's birthday. This afternoon we'll go for a bike ride and then later we'll get barbecue and watch the Red Sox and eat carrot cake. So it'll be a good day, hopefully.
And now I have to go back to Steinbeck: I have to finish reading East of Eden by Tuesday, and I'm only halfway through. Long book! Beautifully written, but very long!

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Happy to discover I've lost another pound since last weigh-in, which is probably really more like 2 or 3 since I weighed myself just after eating a big breakfast and am still carrying yesterday's food around as well. Not bad for skipping my walks a couple times due to weather and migraines. At this rate I'll know in a couple of weeks whether or not 208 lbs. is still an effective minimum that my metabolism won't let me drop below.

Close to 30 bulbs planted! I only lost a few to rot over the summer. Also raked and swept the sidewalk.
Market was good, not too cold. Gonna veg a bit before swimming.

I slept for...many many hours. Sadly, I woke up with a headache, took pain pills, went back to bed, and am still not feeling great. Boo. And tomorrow I have to fly back to LA, after getting home late last night. And a friend who was supposed to have a dinner party re-scheduled for tomorrow night (which I can't attend). BOO.
That said, the only must-dos I have are...laundry. Though I'd like for other things to get done. But I'm thinking a Rosie the Riveter costume. For that I need a red headscarf (already have) and...what do I look for for clothing? Note that I would want to wear this with cowboy boots on Thursday. If I feel better today I"ll go thrift-shopping.
