Ugh ita, I am so sorry! I am around too, although I'm watching my sis right now, but I can probably find time tomorrow to help out a bit.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

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

I'm spoiled for a lot of stuff in Night Vale, because the StuntHusband has become an enthusiastic fan, and will just recite things at me.
Hivemind, what do we think of this: [link]
I'm trying to decide if it will work over my gothy sundresses. Okay, it will, but I'm trying to figure out if it will be too small. The largest size I've found it in is a M, but it's supposed to be worn open in the front anyway ...

It's purty, Jilli

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I like it, Jilli. It's very striking, and would look lovely over pink or burgundy or even a black fabric with a different undertone. I think it's drapey/unstructured enough to be forgiving.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How are you doing, Polgara?

Also, I'm catching up on the Daily Show, and John Oliver is so great. Among other reasons, calling out misogyny when talking to Lake Bell and the old white military guys when talking to Kirsten Gillibrand.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That struck me, too, Jesse. A little more pointed than I expected him to be. Which is good, I like pointed.
Jilli, my only concern about the size would be the sleeves, if they're too tight over your biceps, that's uncomfortable (as I sadly know from experience with jackets that are cute and otherwise fit ok, stupid arms of mine not changing shape/volume to fit their containers) and seems like would make for a difficult alteration - unless just opening the seam a little would work? Maybe it wouldn't be that tricky, depending on how it's put together.
Very pretty, in any case.

Oh, that's a very good point. And there really isn't a good way to fix too-small sleeves.

Our wings are not tired.
I have a number of Colbert and Daily Show episodes in my queue. Too many. Just last night I finished watching the Tony Awards. Yes, I am a bit behind in clearing space. Today I have been watching the Season One of Games of Thrones between chores. I'm on E5, which works since I am on book 4 with the reading.
It is most peculiar. I swear I have never watched the show before and yet apparently the reading put forth such vivid images that it is just like watching repeats! I've watched many things after reading the books, but never had this 'I've seen this before' reaction so strongly. Huh.
