Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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

I do need more bras. I don't have enough. The good ones I do have don't really get much of a rest. But the styles I can find that fit well and flatteringly for my peculiarly odd-sized rack (I mean, it's peculiar that they're an odd size--I'm not as simultaneously skinny and big boobed as I used to be, but I still can't find comfortable flattering bras in cheap styles) cost too fucking much for me to stock up on.

My favorite of the 2 I bought was $75. And I'm not even busty, so I'm not spending on high-tech engineering or anything. Steph, I went to Knickers in Hyde Park Square. It is spendy, but they are very nice, and I was able to tell her what I wanted (underwire, no lining or padding, not stretch lace) and she brought me everything they had in my size, and gave good advice about fit.

Steph, I went to Knickers in Hyde Park Square.

I've heard good stuff about them. I'll have to check them out.

At the store I go to, I automatically send back everything they give me to try over $100. However good those will make my breasts look, I can do without. However, if they're also incredibly comfortable, I will just have to weep and move on.

The difference between these and the Wacoals that used to fit is that I no longer look like I'm wearing a nursing bra all the time. Which, is seriously good.

My sister has bigger boobs than I have, and a slender frame, but her bras are all prettier than mine. I'm not sure how she manages that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have been wearing these most of the time: [link] They sell them at Walgreens for cheap and they have a cup insert if you want it to have more coverage. No more underwires!

Of course, I am so lazy that on skating days I wear a sports bra under my work clothes so I have less to change when I get to the rink. [link]

I get way too much Genie spam to consider actually buying the product. Because I'm bitter, way bitter. Also, does a L really fit a 32 rib cage? That's a lot of dependency on elastic to span all those rib and cup dimensions in one size. I'm conventionally attached to my more tailored support. Also, never had a problem with underwire. Cheerfully wear it all the time. These girls like to move around. Infrastructure is important, or I can't even use the stairs in polite mixed company.

Ack, Calli, hope you feel better! I guess this means we may not see you tonight?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think that slideshows, to increase page counts, in place of having images and text together on one page is one of the worst practices on the internet.

I think I would rather be rickrolled than deal with this bullshit.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Babysitting the dojo kids again. The 3 year old brought a recorder with him. He is so lucky I don't have a headache or that recorder would be meeting an ugly end.

We have a huge blanket fort and the almost 1 year old is quite delighted in destroying it. Less than 2 hours to go. I wish I had a project to work on with them, I wasn't organized ahead of time this weekend.
