Some great dark, Victorian-steampunk-ish post-apocalyptic art: [link]

My fave is this awesome painting inspired by Alice in Wonderland: [link]

edit to add adjective....

So, watching What Not To Wear, I got all excited because they went to a store that "specializes in sizes 10-22." But they didn't show the name when went in, that I could see. So some fancy remote control work, and I paused the list in the credits. Turns out, it was Lee Lee's Valise, which I've heard of, but never been, because it's in Brooklyn! AKA, too far for me to drop in on. Bah.

Ha, Jesse, I'd love to be you. I'd be smart and funny and look great in skirts.

Just got back from going to our banks (mine and his) and making all of our accounts joint and changing our address on them. Yay free new checks and getting boring shit out of the way! Then we got deelish sandwiches on the way home and ate lunch sitting at the table out in the yard. Now DH is playing guitars in the other room with an old friend and I am ensconced in the office and am going to do some writing. The life, she is good.

Aw!

I went to the library and the grocery store and some furniture window shopping. At the Salvation Army, some hotel must have redecorated, because they had zillions of matching hideous end tables and dressers and etc.

And I finally got my old TV out of my apartment! It's ridiculous how long it was sitting here, but I was hoping some bright idea would come to me. I just put it in the lobby with a really honest note ("VCR doesn't work. TV works most of the time"), and if it's still there on Monday, I'll put it in the alley with the trash.

UGH - $75 trip to the grocery, but we were out of lots of stuff and I am buying based off a menu of recipes for the week and I did use $5 in coupons for stuff we actually use.

I have discovered a small amount of homemade peach ice cream in the freezer. It has to be from 2 summers ago, but it is still ok. I am not sharing with mac. He has justice league videos.

I too could use a nap, but I do not see that happening - instead I am going to try to get stuff done so that I can go to sleep when mac goes down around 9.

You've got an awesome backyard to sit in, Scrappy! It's a really peaceful place.

I have cleaned. I think I need to wear steeltoed boots to vacuum and mop. I'm forever running over my toes.

Dinner or dyeing next. Hrm. Floors have to dry first.

UGH - $75 trip to the grocery

I just had a $68 trip to BevMo! But that's not an ugh.

I now have the necessary ingredients to make either a Negroni or a Pimm's Cup.

I just went to BevMo too! I got champagne and a bunch of wine from the Chronicle's Cheap Wines list. And some yummy cheeses because I'm having people over tomorrow.
