It's Purim! Chag sameach!

I don't always do much costuming for Purim services, but for this year, I was feeling saucy and decided to trot out the Maenad costume that I put together for Halloween of 2002 ( photos archived here). I adored that costume and have kept all the pieces lovingly stored (and, in some cases, displayed in my living room) all ( Read more... )

I woke up at 5:30 today -- worse than usual, I've been getting to 6 or 6:30 and occasionally even to the 7:15 alarm of late -- so hey, I'm using the time to finish up this long-overdue entry.

Reply to this meme [by yelling (or even saying gently) "Words!"] and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain ( Read more... )

I am hanging out at work getting some stuff done while I wait for Kinkos to finish printing my order [hey, they just called, I better get this wrapped up], so:

Here's a meme that was going around again recently.

Five random idiosyncratic things about me you probably don't know:

1. I have to have at least two kinds of shampoo and three kinds of conditioner in my shower at all times. (Not always the same two or three kinds, although I certainly go through phases. But I have to have an active rotation.)
   
2. I have ( Read more... )

Someone asked me this a few months back, and in the interest of the upcoming holiday giftgiving season, I thought it might make an interesting meme.

In terms of commercially-available scented things,
what kinds of scents do you like?

( Yes, in fact, I do buy/wear more men's fragrances than women's. What's your point? )

Boy, it's a long time since I did a silly meme like this. :-) But I find this one appealingly poetic.

Ganked from many corners including navrins? [no, apparently I was conflating with other recent memes], bethr? [ditto], awhyzip, greenlily.

1. Explain what ended your last relationship? conflicting choices
