I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Because books.

They have a pink Sharpie at my desk also, so I think they are keepers.

Excellent.

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.

This is why I love their book with color charts (which admittedly do not represent well on the web). They got me to try combos I never would have, but actually work quite well. But as a mid-tone/summer, I don't wear white or black very well.

I admit, I am wearing brick red shorts. In days past I have worn them with a rust orange shirt.

Trinny & Susannah would be so proud. If the brick is on the brown burgundy side of the spectrum, they would say orange first. The tobacco is more of an orange/yellow brown in the book than it looks on that site.

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

Anyone that thinks red and black are a bad mix are probably suggesting colour combinations that are not an expansion of my style, but more likely just not my style. I want to enhance, not change. I like what style I have. I just want more. And certainly not less. So far I disagree with most of what I remember them saying.

Jesse, has this been posted at goodstuff? It's old, so I don't remember.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The Oatmeal speaks the truth.

(These days, I often want a Coke, but, for reals: truth.)

I just drank half a Coke. I hope I don't pay a price.

I'm currently in a meeting extolling the virtues of the virtual team by someone on my team that works from home 100%. How I wish my boss were listening. I think I work well from home, dammit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know, but I will totally post that!

That Oatmeal piece is a lie. Bloody Mary Mix (not a Bloody Mary) is magical skyjuice.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

My husband always gets tomato juice on a plane. The smell makes me oogy.

Thanks for catching the reference, Hec. I took a whole Percoset. Now I'm headed to PT.

Still very confused and feeling like shit over the A, B, C, D thing.

It's been a very, very long time since I've been on a plane. I suspect I had a Coke though.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I avoid Coke or anything else caffeinated on planes. I want to stay relaxed.

I tend to go with OJ.
