Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My final thought before going to bed (late!): There are women in the tenor section of my chorus, so the conductor does not say "The men sing X," he says, "The tenors and basses sing X." Just because they are in a typically men's section does not make them male.

Because books.

Nice, -t! But I want something a little chunkier. It's definitely an "I'll know it when I see it" thing.

Well, I picked these up at Marshall's, so maybe look there? You never know what they might have.

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

There's no such thing as a woman wearing a men's suit marketed to women

There is as the lettuce on the plate, or saying "Don't I look dashing in this Sean Jean if I cinch the belt tight and wear some Jimmy Choos." Crossing menswear over into women's styling isn't new.

I kinda hope Revenge goes full on Red Wedding for the wedding. I'm not really sure what that would mean in the context of the show, but I want it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I find the weirdest thing about a woman modelling men's clothing for men is that there's a news show out there that finds it news worthy. I'll bet she isn't even the first!

A year ago they were doing reports on the other way around (a couple guys), and I didn't see anyone mention this, so it seems it's not caught their attention much.

I have decided I'm on the tangerine diet. Every time I decide I want something, I'm going to have a tangerine first, and if I still want the first thing, that's fine. I have eaten an extra tangerine, and that's not a bad thing. Vitamins in an organic juice bag!

Oh, I need to find out if sweet potato fries are low gly...eta: maybe yes! They are far inferior to the wide wide world of the white potato fry, but it's friend and can be dipped into sweet sour catsup. Nummy.

Speaking of tagerines, I need to get back to my usual way of eating, which involves more tagerines and almonds, and less bread and baked good.

Mm, bread and baked goods. I have never liked tangerines though. But looking forward to clementine season! They peel so easy!

Weirdness: my coworkers live all over and normally not anywhere near me (since we are supposed to cover territory regionally). But on this project one of my coworkers got permission to move about six months ago, and apparently went from Texas to Seattle. She asked the other day where I live-- turns out, just a few blocks away. She lives in the building next to where I dance. But then she apparently mentioned this to her one friend in town, who she knows from college....and that friend is my next door neighbor. As in we share a wall in our triplex. She's in B and I'm in C. So weird! I've still never met this coworker but we figure on having coffee one of these days.

That's pretty wild, meara.
