It means ironing, beige tights, and non-flats. I'd love to just toss on a tie on top of a button down and trousers like I faked business formal at the last job.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I would think a tie and a button down would be fine, but what do I know? I'm in academia. We have a very vague sense of business appropriate.

Yay ita!
Burrell, I shared your total lack of sleep last night. Ugh. I had a project deadline at 2 today so I've been going going going but I can feel the tank running dry now.

I also have not been getting sleep because stress. I'm trying to juggle work and errands that need to get done since I'm flying to Atlanta tomorrow, so I went to the ATM after my last meeting. On the way back, I got a high five from a dude working for the Human Rights Campaign because I already support equal rights, and then I saw someone dressed like she was straight out of an American Apparel ad which totally startled me out of my stress because I didn't realize there were people dressing like that in the wild! But I'm trying not to be judgmental, so I'll go with Tim Gunn's response: "Well, if that's the look you want, you sure have a good one."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I also feel like I'm about to drop, and I expect to be at work at least 10 hours today. My kingdom for a nap.

I think I've convinced myself that it's okay for me to go home early and work from there, because at least then I could get stuff done while I do laundry and roast corn and broccoli so I don't leave a bunch of food to rot while I'm gone.

Any time you can emulate Tim Gunn, the world gets a little better.

My cousin and I had a great ride from the Catskills, and would have been just golden, but the plane is unexpectedly late.

When clean, my apartment decoration I would describe as "colour therapy". But in reality it is the aftermath of a hurricane, replete with not only cat hair, but mouse stomach's, bird skulls, and hairballs that I'm refusing to deal with until the weekend. My decoration is eau du depression and procrastination and slovenliness.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Got woken up early by Nova. Why? She's a cat. Kinda tired, kinda meh.
