I spent the day with high school girls at Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls in North Philly, and they were completely awesome. We talked about writing -- I did a workshop on voice -- and then there was a book signing, and the girls were just amazing. AMAZING. But I have to give all of you who are or were teachers so much credit -- I am exhausted. In a very good way, though.
I always say "let's get coffee" even though I drink tea. Weird.
brenda, hot bath and ibuprofen and possibly some medicinal alcohol?
Looks more period than steampunk to me, although definitely a theatrical sort of period. I don't see any cogwheels or aviator goggles.
I like Amy's plan for brenda. I might steal it for me, but it would require cleaning the bathtub.
Meanwhile, I have a loaf of "bread" in the oven and 6 little containers of mousse in the fridge, so I feel more like myself. And I got some cleaning done, not just cooking! More needs doing, of course, but it's a good start.

Isn't that a Seinfeld bit from back in the day? "Just bring me a hot beverage so I can talk to my friend"
Yeah, what would make that picture steampunk?
The leather corset is the only thing that sort of says steampunk to me.
Does this picture look like steampunk or simply period?
Period, with a love of corsets as outerwear.
I am from the coffee era, but I was meeting up with friends for coffee back in my 20s too. It could be that I'm a fuddy duddy?

I knew which picture it would be before I clicked. As for steampunk or period, it's so off from any authentic period that my default would be steampunk, but really on second look it's more Wild Wild West. In my head I'm hearing Will Smith singing that, by the way.
What is that picture? And yes, v. Wild Wild West. The corsets as outerwear usually says not period to me, or at least "someone's idea of period" rather than actually.
Thanks for the encouragement Bon Bon! Did you go through it and actually be able to run all the bits, 7 times before it "clicked"? Or just try to do it and get stuck somewhere and start over 7 times?
I like to think of that picture as steampunk, because it is so not any actual period.
The latter, meara. But even though I have to start over again, I'm pretty sure I won't have to do c25k again-- so it's definitely something that will ultimately "stick."
