Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
it is only while doing laundry that I wish my wardrobe was monochrome and much smaller.
Of course, having way more clothes than I really need allows me to go for longer than is reasonable without doing laundry, or only doing minimal laundry. One hand gives while the other takes, I suppose.
Yes, Jessica! You and I are one in the desire for DST all the time.
Me too. I am on the eastern edge of my time zone, so DST feels more "right"
For modern society DST makes more sense. 7 to 7 on the solstice is a far more reasonable daylight than 6 to 6, even if it does mean that the sun is over head at 1 than noon. Noon isn't really the middle of the modern day!
And I would take 8 to 6 for a short day over 7 to 5 ANY time. So, yes, DST forever! Start the campaign!
Count me in too!
My only real complaint about DST is that I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE AN HOUR OF SLEEP BECAUSE OF IT. I do not adapt well to time changes. Yes, jet-lag is a given if I travel anywhere out of my time zone.
Today I learned that young, chirpy, Very Christian girls like to go to the local women-only spa after church, and talk loudly about how exulted they feel, knowing about the glory of G-d, and that they wish they could bring the gospel to more people. Which, yay them, but loud religious conversations are not what I expect while I'm soaking in a hot tub.
However, one of them did ask me what one of my tattoos said. "It's in Latin, right?" she asked, smiling the smile of someone full of religious zeal.
"Yes, it is. Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc; it means 'we gladly feast on those who would subdue us'. It's the traditional motto of the Addams Family."
She didn't talk to me after that.
bwah! that is hilarious!
Noon isn't really the middle of the modern day!
It should be! Noon should stay noon, dammit. Sundials forever!
Also, your modern day and mine are clearly not the same. 8-6 daylight is SO MUCH WORSE than 7-5
That is amazing, Jilli.
Eek--I mean, at least the place is open on Sundays, unlike the Korean one which is closed Sundays because they're so Christian? But ick.
I got up all early, and did yoga, and now it's almost 5pm and I have not left the house again. I did roast up some broccoli and some cauliflower. But I feel I really ought to have accomplished something today. ...not sure WHAT, but something.
