My aunt's housekeeper was over yesterday, working on re-organizing my uncle's way WAY overcrowded walkin closet. (I think my aunt decided to have her do this because my uncle wouldn't be around to rescue all the tattered holey unmatched socks from the garbage. They are just hoarders with a really large house and a lot of storage. And a weekly housekeeper.)
Anyway, my aunt mentioned in passing that the housekeeper likes to talk to herself, but that wasn't the half of it -- it's like the woman keeps up a running dialogue with herself, discussing what she's doing minute to minute. Since she's at the other end of the house, so it was faint, it wasn't distracting... just funny.
She did an excellent job, by the way.
This is where I mention that there is an open invitation to anyone who would like to come for a weekend and help me decide what clothes are super ugly on me and should be removed from closet.
Has there been some sort of bump in visibility for Gothic Charm School that I'm not aware of? Because I was just contacted by the THIRD casting agent/casting director in two weeks with questions about finding goth or alternative types for reality shows and commercials.
a) Casting season is approaching fast.
b) Goth/alt is verra popular right now.
c) DO EEEEET!
Also there are places that send offers for ads, etc., out seemingly at random. Anyone else remember The Bloggess's story about that? and why hitting "reply all" is not a good idea?
Well, that certainly makes me feel less good about her/them.
I guess it would be more accurate to say she was conflicted about ending that column. She decided it was the right thing to do so in that sense she did want to end it.
I am putting together my sister's Christmas present, and I'm kinda nervous. I'm putting all my eggs in a basket of a show she loves right now. What if it tanks before Christmas and I am effectively committed? I'm trying to think of backup stuff, and it's weak.

I much prefer going over to your apartment in NYC and deciding that all your vintage dresses look gorgeous on you.
sadly the aging has made my ribcage too large for many of those. I need to get pictures of them and see if Holli would like to buy them for her store.
For tommyrot if he's around. "Bitcoin price soars over $266 and hits a new all-time high": [link]
I was afraid this would happen after I sold them.
I mean, the total amount of Bitcoins is fixed so you'd expect the prices to keep going up as more people use them. But then there's always a chance of another crash, so I'm still glad I got out when I did.
Selling them was a huge PITA, as the place I sold them at is having huge difficulties in letting customers get their money out (they're based in Japan)--some people have been waiting six months for their money! Plus there are bad rumors about the company. So I converted the money in that account back into Bitcoins and transferred them to a different company and sold them there. (I lost $500 doing that due to lower values in the new market.)
Anyway, I then got my money in two days and now I'm the proud owner of a new 15" Retina MacBook Pro.

If I could figure out a way to make this happen, I would. Plus, I could fairy gothmother Mac and cajole/terrorize him into doing his homework!

Time to go email my Agent of Awesome and get her perspective!
