Shit's all sorts of different now.

It was all the rage my last two years of high school to use an Esprit bag instead of your locker.

Punishingly Intricate

I went to college with the son of Benetton and the daughter of Esprit! (in the 80s, though)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am shocked and sad about Lee Thompson Young. I haven't seen him in much (although IMDB is reminding me of a few roles I had forgotten) but he has stood out in what I have seen. Easily my favorite character on R&I.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Okay, I keep getting email updates to a subscription that I apparently have to Minecraft. Except, I' not subscribed to any minecraft feeds. I did, once, search on minecraft, because it kept coming up in stuff I was reading and had no idea what it was. And now, when I log into my YT account, there's nothing in my subscritions about MC, yet I still keep getting emails.

Maybe this is a tech thread question?

Because books.

Esprit! Esprit, Bennetton, and French Connection were huge when I was in high school. Oh, and Gunne Sax for prom. And LeSportSac for bags.

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

I owned the most Swatches. It was kinda stupid.

We carried those big esprit bags with all our books because it was near impossible to get into your locker between classes. Once I started driving, I kept the books for the second half of the day in the car. Pretty sure we all had back issues.

ION, if I make it to friday morning without a meltdown, I'll be shocked. I have so much that needs to get done PLUS I'm taking care of 2 cat households other than my own. Took out 3 households trash. I think I can offload one set of cats, but not the special needs kitties. It's an emergency situation, so I don't begrudge that, the timing is just bad. But Pat called me from the hospital today, and really? The timing doesn't matter in the grand scheme.

Troy (SN kitty) was so sweet and ate half hit food and was still chowing down when I left. I think he might boredom eat, because Pat warned me I might have to encourage him to eat, but I didn't have that problem at all once I gave him plenty of love. He's probably all 'I have no one to pet me, might as well eat." And I actually saw Teeka! She fled after a couple minutes, though.

OK, updating cat instructions for MY guys.

I still long for my Swatch. The best watch I ever had. Black hands and numbers on a black face.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That was a beautiful Swatch.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I had a Flik-Flak in the late eighties. That was the Swatch brand for kids, where the hands were different colors and there were a few other things like that, which were supposed to help us learn to tell time. I also had several regular Swatches.
