See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

It's settled down to a steady but unspectacular waterdump up here, but the thunder and lightning were crazy for a while (I think right around the time the Krav folks were just getting back to the center).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I want this bench: [link]

And then a house to put it in....

pliessnig recently completed 'amada', a design for a private client who wanted a large bench flowing through his living space. the piece was designed to direct the sitter to face multiple directions. the seating unit is made entirely of air-dried responsibly harvested white oak that has been steam bent to create the curvaceous form of the bench.

Its just gorgeous....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Don't break anyone's arm, either! Good luck.

Yeah, we won't be saying "break a leg!" to you any time soon, Cash.

Pretty dress, sara!

I am watching Chinatown for the first time right now!

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

I forgot to say--that's a great dress, sara.

When What Not To Wear says you shouldn't wear miniskirts over the age of 35, do they mean any skirt above the knee, or specifically shorter skirts? Now, I intend to keep breaking the letter and spirit of the rule for a while longer, but I was curious about the specifics.

You'll get to see it!

Ahahah! Making up for that question, eh?

eta: that was for lisah.

Something either bit me or.... I dunno. I've got this blister sorta on the side of my flipoff finger. Appeared after raking leaves. Not in a rubby place, so has to be contact with something. Which is a little unnerving, but it doesn't hurt or itch. I kinda want to pop it, but will wait to see if it happens accidentally.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

If I had the legs for it anymore, I'd wear whatever showed them off and to hell with fashion pundits. Carpe diem, mang.

Oh, and I expect it will look much better on your figure than on the model, too, sara.

I've got great legs, I'll wear whatever the hell I want, ptooui. That said, I don't tend to miniskirts for work anymore (I used to) and have little occasion to wear them otherwise, but that's just personal (life) style. Though I'm leggy enough (height is all in my legs) that even skirts that would hit most just above the knee hit me several inches further up, so that might be considered a mini to some.
