Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Sitting in the main room, waiting for the Guests of Honor(a German duo called Summer and Fall) to start their concert.

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

I always assume cheese is fine unless it is actively growing mold. And then if the moldy part can be cut off I assume the rest is fine.

I feel like taking a nap. Maybe I'll just go ahead and do that? I don't think there's a reason not to...

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Actually, can I wear strappy sandals and no stockings to a "cocktail attire" wedding? Or are stockings a must? It's this dress: [link]

Stockings are only a must for figure skating.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was going to say stockings are never a must, but brenda is actually right.

I don't think "cocktail attire" means especially swanky, but my swank-o-meter may be calibrated differently from yours. Anyway, that dress looks great.

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

Strappy sandals = no need for stockings! Hence the joy of strappy sandals. Also agree that the dress looks terrific

Is Franny feeling better yet?

Yes, thanks for asking. But she absolutely needed the antibiotics, although they took a whole day and a half to get her temperature down to normal. I hope Casper feels better soon.

So DH is facing down a major onerous task: snaking the bathroom sink. Clog is refusing to budge. He's currently on the roof with the snake. Poor guy. He deserves a cold beer for this.

Strappy sandals sound perfect for cocktail attire (as is that dress). I think cocktail attire is dressier than casual but not as dressy as formal.

I may have to drive into Oakland to get my race packet for tomorrow. Apparently picking it up on race day requires advance arrangements that I have not made. Don't wanna.

On the roof? That is some serious snaking!

Well, if this wedding were like figure skating and stockings were required, I would wear closed-toe shoes. But I'll go with bare legs and sandals, woo!
