Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

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.

The Spy Museum is really cool!

In other news, I feel like this is a site designed for us Internet Olds: [link]

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]

I ended up going over to a friend’s to watch “Stick It” and “Bend it Like Beckham” which one of us hadn’t seen. We wanted to make it a marathon with “Bring It On” of movies with Verb It in the title that should have been gayer, but it got too late in the evening for us. But it was a plan. We now want a remake of Bend it like Beckham where the girls are gay and Joe the coach falls for Tony the gay cousin.

Well, we just had a fab visit at the National Gallery of Art, and while the cafeteria is not the greatest, I was about to fade away, so, gumbo and tuna it is. Dinner last night was great, though!

Next some museum store browsing, and then we head to the Archives. And dinner.

I should really, really visit alla this stuff more often. I mean, it's here, and it's mostly free. And then I wouldn't need Shir or whoever to read the map for me... I'd know how to get around the museum, ha!

How's everyone's Sunday going? It's quiet up in here.

I would so watch this.

I was basic yesterday and re-watched Star Wars original trilogy. Didn't mean to...but I pulled up New Hope for background music while attempting cat yoga and then got sucked in. Like ya do. And yes, I was making a cat yoga video to entertain the new guy. Ended up posting the most entertaining parts yesterday on the social medias. It's probably the least sexy video anyone has ever made for their lovah, LOL.

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

Cat yoga and National Archives! Days well spent.

I got out early to run and then was thwarted by an event at Kezar Stadium, so I just walked further into the park and back home. So I got my steps in anyway, if not the flights.

I made my favorite omelette (onions sauteed in butter, diced ham, feta) and it was glorious should have held me, but now I want more food. C'mon, metabolism, try harder.

I have to print pictures out this week for the Memorial and take care of all the shit I haven't done. Like...get the insurance in order for this event. So many details.
