What color is the embroidery, ita? Or is the whole skirt brick red?

I admit, I am wearing brick red shorts. In days past I have worn them with a rust orange shirt. Today I am wearing them with a shirt that is patterned in flowers of faded red, brick, and blue, on a tan background.

What color is the embroidery, ita?

The embroidery is the same brick red, just shinier.

I am dressed the same colour as my car, for those who have seen it. It's a pretty close match.

I agree with Trinny and Susannah more than most fashion people about shape, but NSM about colour. But I am severely limited in the colour realm. I lack imagination when it comes to colour mixing, unless it's pre-done for me in a pattern. At which point I will wear some pretty strong stuff without a bit of concern.

Wait--do T&S think I shouldn't be wearing miniskirts at 42? Because they can bite my middle-aged ass, if they do.

I have purchased my Captain America T-shirt for the movie. I hope Polgara will still go with me, even if I am Dorkus Comicus Maximus. It's my first Marvel logo tee. And I've never bought a Captain America comic. Just...Wolverine and Storm don't have logos, you know?

I think it all depends on the red, really. LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE.

With attitudes like yours, it's amazing that anyone gets voted into office. Get radical, man!

As for Strunk/White--I am such a delicate flower that I can't even read obviously parodic RPF. I'm beginning to think something is wrong with me, the speed with which I backclicked away from that excerpt. IT'S JUST SHITS AND GIGGLES, ita.

Argh, I'm at work and can't watch the World Cup, but I'm reading the ESPN live chat. STRESSFUL.

I just spent way too long with a supervisor at Amazon customer service explaining why the rep who called me "Lizzie" was rude and insulting.

World Cup Spoilers:

If the US can hold on for the next twelve minutes--eh, who am I kidding? They're getting out-shot 3:1. They'll never survive overtime at this rate.

Cereal:

I sit corrected. WOOOOT!

And AGAIN!

(Man, I really wish I could WATCH this game.)

And... over!

Spoilers: France apparently out-played the US for 2/3 of the game, but the US came back in the last 20 minutes and won 3-1. US is in the World Cup Finals for the 3rd time.

Bleargh. I just spilled a whole bunch of oil from one of those noodle bowls on my shirt. I smell like garlic oil now. And it shows big time since it's a dark shirt. Meh.

baby powder will soak up oil from fabric. cannot help with the smell.

ION, work is still going well. They want me to take on some new marketing efforts and it taps into my long ago used skills as a fundraiser (organizing address lists, ranking potential customers, writing appeal letters, brochure and web designs, messaging....). They have a pink Sharpie at my desk also, so I think they are keepers.
