"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I'd never seen a cateye in a metal frame. And I can't wear plastic because the bridge of my nose was too small. The titanium frame comes in a smaller size so I think it would fit me better and I'm looking at getting the gunmetal color, so my only hesitation at this point is that I'm basically getting a totally different frame than the one I looked at.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Okay, so speaking of getting emails that aren't meant for you...

I just got one with the subject like "Bridesmaid belt options." It's sent to 5 people, including me. The email text reads "Alright girls, I have attached several belt options. Choose one." And there are 9 photos of sparkly belts attached.

The question isn't *Do* I troll them; the question is: how HARD do I troll them?

I think you should counter that there ISN'T ENOUGH SPARKLE and provide photos of the most hideous sparkly belts that you can find.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You should suggest bandoliers instead.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Or suggest they go in a different direction. [link]

Bridesmaid sparkly belts?? WTF is this world coming to?

Though I realized the other day on a comment thread about "what is the most expensive piece of clothing/accessory you've ever bought" thread that the answer was a freakin' bridesmaid dress. It was something like $200? Which I guess is not that bad as bridesmaid dresses go, but still...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

This bar I'm in has a skeeball lane. Very cool. Except that some people feel entitled to bring their kids to the bar to play skeeball. Their skreetchy, whiny kids. During happy hour on a Friday.

The bartender just bounced them. FINALLY.

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

It was only 96 on my drive home, but still feels pretty damn warm. Have eaten a cold supper and may just doze until the sun sets and it presumably cools off some...

I guess I'm glad I've never been a bridesmaid. Was witness-without-title for my sister, but I could wear what I wanted to for that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I've never been a bridesmaid either. Haven't missed that experience, really.
