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."
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
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.

In this, I am Meara today. Boo.
I need to be cleaning, the place is a mess. Instead I'm contemplating more pain pills and bed.

In better news, friend who re-scheduled dinner just called and we're going to hang out shortly, so yay that.
Also, I went and read the link to Julianne Hough in blackface. SERIOUSLY, GIRL??? WTF??? I mean, I love OITNB. And love many of the characters on it. (And would get naked with several of them, aww yeah). But NO. NO NO NO.
ETA: Thanks Ginger! Hmm, overalls? Or just jeans and a collared blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up? I'm not sure overalls would be the most flattering (even if I can find some), but not sure the blue shirt alone would be as obvious...
