please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doing fine
Last night I panicked. I was upset, I was up late, I was flipping through various sites, checking things. One of the sites I flipped through was Fandango. As much as I loathe their ad campaign, they've got this feature where, for a remembrance cookie, I can automatically flip to theatres I've registered I liked. And, ten minutes past one last night, Serenity tickets went on sale at the Century Eastport 16.
I couldn't help myself. I JUMPED on them. Terrified they'd evaporate into 'sorryallsoldout'-ness. Like the premieres had.
So...discounting computer glitches, and I'm more nervous about that than usual, 'cos our printer turned out to have zero ink...we have two tickets to see Serenity. Saturday, October 1st, 2:15 pm.
Oof. We're GOING! Though I may be more schizoid than usual--I still like the blue hands idea, but at the Frock Swap, I found a red and white Hawaiian shirt and I just had to take it. It's not the more traditional flower print, it's the one that comes in a variety of shades and colors, but has color up and down, and a white band of print across the chest.
Yeah. I may be wearing that...and my black jeans and the blue hands. *snerk*
How to get the blue top off the ramune bottle. Huh. I never knew this was considered impossible. I have three ramune marbles scattered in various boxes of fragmentaria, because I just pried off the blue top with a butter knife. The razor method would work better, though...
(Tipped by litlbuddha.)
Whoa.
I found it I found it I found it!! They're the Rancho pony boots!
Wau. That took months. Yeesh.
I also highly admire the Gwendoline boots, but I could never wear them. Alas.
Next up: trying to find shoes of reasonable height and block heels (non-stilettos) for a friend who, prior to now, wore a men's size fifteen.
This is gonna be tough.
From lemmealone by way of moony:
Chances are people you don't even know are being introduced to your journal every day, either randomly or through someone else. In addition to recent entries, people can get to know you better by what you posted in the past. With that in mind post a link to your entries on this day three months ago, six months ago, nine months ago, a year ago, and two years ago. If there was no entry on that day, link the closest date.
Huh. Interesting.
Three months ago I was bitching about the MPAA hassling fanfic authors, and despairing that my favorite drinks were so easily tied to my zodiac sign.
Six months ago I was just starting to wonder where lemmealone had gotten off to, and I was goggling over people and their bizarre head styles. Oh, and there was a bit about biting the head off the Chocolate Jesus for Easter, but we don't need to go there.
December 26th, 2004 I had no entry. But I wrote something on December 25th.
So nine months ago, I was posting a favorite holiday carol, wondering about my cousin and her strange behavior towards Piranha Fish (at this point, we now have Piranha Fish 1 and Piranha Fish 2, because they brought home a second goldfish that ate its tankmates), and bouncing over seeing Darkness. Eh, some of the bounce has gone, but I wouldn't mind seeing the film again.
One year ago I was urging folks to participate in the Cans Film Festival for that year, if a theatre near them ran it. And there was a fun little rant about some of the idiosyncrasies of Diablo II. :)
And two years ago, Robert Palmer died.
Curiously...none of these five entries mention anything about bad fashion. You'd think I was an activist, or summat, from these. Maybe I should pick a different day. :)
Still taking donations-for-comments here. Haven't stopped yet. Mainly because I haven't yet scheduled a trip down to Lowe's. Should prolly do that soon, but I keep waiting for...something. Not sure what.
Fashions and scattered pics of the day.
Actually, I think it's more that folks from PETA like to show up nude to things. Honestly, at times they give the word "freak" a bad name...Tiger-striping on her's kind of pretty, though.

Just taken at a glance, I'd say the freshly painted mural combined with the cartwheeling child makes for a great "We won!" statement. Sadly, the color text makes it all that much more confusing--the IRA is decommissioning? Is laying down its arms? Is...giving up??
That can't be right. WTF?

This looks really grim. But on the other hand, this house was in the middle of a SWAMP to begin with. It really wasn't far to go from SWAMP to FLOOD.
Sorry about that...don't know who took the pic, or where it's from. This is usually the space wherein I copy the attribution and such. I'm very abashed.
I, um...I have no words for this.
Other than...her skirt appears to be infected with many soft round glowing things. She might need to look into getting that fixed.

I admit, I'm mostly posting this so teal_cuttlefish can make faces. :) Seriously, though, I cannot get how weird this outfit continues to be. This is look three that I've seen, and even though this one lacks more of the obvious dead-bleeding-bird qualities...it's still bizarre.

Oh, look, plastic party frocks! And plastic...whatever the hell the other model's walking away in! How keen! Crinkly, cleanable, and the color goes with just about...every other taupe thing out there...but y'know, really, not damn much else.
Plastic fabric? Tell me they're not serious.
