- It took a week for the post-con letdown to hit. Interesting.

- So I'm sort of supposed to go see my parents tonight, but I just realized that is _not_ happening, because I'm wearing the coat. And they will ask about the coat. And I will lie to them and tell them it's a British RAF coat I've been working on, and then my fussy mother will look on the inside, see the German label from the original tailor and freak out. Right. Seriously not happening.

- I'm still obsessed with this Rilo Kiley song.

- Now, I seem to have a little cold proper, finally. Perhaps that means it will go away soon.

- Must do work. Then hopefully socialize just a tad, and then go home and write. Brain breakthroughs on both pieces in progress.

- I do, in fact, have $600 more dollars in the bank than I thought. The Gally hotel was immediately deducted from my account, but it didn't show up as having happened until today. Thank Christ. I knew I spent a lot of money out there, but oi.

- My new favorite website: http://www.blacktieguide.com/ Soon, surely, to be the source of my new favorite frustration. You can see where this is going, can't you?

- Tell me something awesome.

It's still pretty cold out, but the days are getting longer and prettier, and the wind is starting to smell like spring.

I don't get to have parent drama.
The coat sounds like it has a story.

My new roommate is a big Torchwood and Doctor Who fan and has BBCAmerica and DVR. When the new season airs we'll have a viewing party at our place.

So there is a new roommate? YAY!

[marchek.livejournal.com]

I'll tell you all about it tonight.

I'm actually not feeling up to Manhattan this evening. :(

This is FABULOUS.

She looks awesome. Can't wait to properly meet her.

Something Awesome: 70% of auditory hallucinations are male voices. Here's a link (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/4675103.stm). I guess not exactly "awesome" but at least interesting. : )

I'm not sure what I'm more disturbed by:

1. I already knew this
2. You thought I would find it awesome


But I am amused!

That Rilo Kiley song is totally worth being obsessed with.

I have invitations to the theatre (ok, Gilbert & Sullivan) for mailing out. PM me your snail-mail addy if interested.

And I totally see where that new favorite frustration is going, and I approve. :)

I AM ALWAYS INTERESTED IN GILBERT & SULLIVAN

(hi).

Moving along.

Yes, see I was thinking... maybe I want a tux for the cruise, and then I was thinking... maybe having a nice retro tux would be cool in general... and then the theme of Gallifrey 21 was announced. I suspect this may turn into like when I got my Regency suit, which was hella expensive. I may just go to a tailor and have done with this.

Interesting website. I'll note that some of the details offered for white tie evening dress do not agree with the guidelines published by the state department. In particular, the state department recommends a white pique vest that extends one to two inches below the front of the coat and they recommend against detachable collars.

Other than that, not much in the way of awesome to report. But life is good this weekend, and that's good enough for me.

BABY IS ASLEEP.

[shipchan.livejournal.com]

Oh good site.

Um something awesome... I got a 100 percent on the reading portion of the PSATs. Don't know how awesome that is though.
Oh! A veg place opened near me called 'you don't know nothin produce' which just begs to be put in a story.

I couldn't find my wrist/thumb brace so just improvised one with a discarded water bottle (my thumb goes through the neck!) and an Ace bandage.

I am very proud of this and now wonder what other medical devises I could hack!

I'm starting to believe

[haya.livejournal.com]

that my relationship might be real and viable.
And I think I networked with a real LA actor this week via Twitter.
And I will soon be starting a new project on Youtube, that will start out really bad, but I hope will get better.
(((HUGS)))

I'm sorry we didn't get in touch; I had thought that dinner would last until about nine, right up to the point when we left at ten of eleven or so.

Huh, looks like Black Tie Guide has a lot more information than when I looked at it last summer. But if you like that and can afford to lose some time, I spent a week or two doing almost nothing but reading at http://askandyaboutclothes.com/ -- among others, I learned an awful lot from the professional shirtmaker who contributes there.
