"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm helping my niece put together her business card and logo for her new career as a Death Doula.

There’s no reason she can’t have more than one. The first for clients, the last for difficult vendors?

Have been having a delightful day with Shir! Man, I need more Buffista face time. It's a boon to the spirit.

This morning we did the Library of Congress, which, lovely, but they are renovating, so most of the collections were not available, and the Jefferson Reading Room is closed to non-researchers in the weekends. We viewed it from above.

Found food at Eastern Market. Didn't find the actual place we were looking for, but did delicious soup!

Now we're waiting for our timed entry to the Spy Museum at 4:30p. Dinner after at a well-reviewed vegan place near Shir's hotel to Co off the day. Tomorrow, National Gallery of Art to start.

The Spy Museum is really cool!

Currently waiting to reestablish contact with Shir in the dark and shadowy word of espionage. Thank goodness for WhatsApp, just sayin'.

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

Timelies all!

It's been raining on and off all day. Supposed to rain tomorrow also. I am sleepy because I woke up early and didn't really get back to sleep.(And Mr. S came into our room around 7:30, of course)

I am spending my weekend gluing rhinestones onto my outfit for the Vampire Masquerade Ball, which is in 3 weeks. It's the 20th anniversary and I'm the emcee (as usual), so I want my outfit to be even more over the top than usual.

So glue. Much rhinestones. wow.

I spent nearly 3 hours darning my favorite socks (I'm very slow), while watching this very very long video about Star Wars and politics and fascism and Hollywood: [link]
