In a bit of an odd mood for various reasons, but the weather is nice, which is something. In-laws were good. Got a dress for The Bro's wedding, and shoes, neither of which compromise my sense of self...this is easier said than done in the current British fashion climate, where half of everything even vaguely feminine has got rhinestones or sequins or beads or is cut for people with breasts that are at least a C cup and for people who are considerably less than 1.75 metres tall. Due to my gender stuff, I am usually more than cool with being the size I am, but it is nigh on impossible to find a simple but not maxi (too casual for this wedding) dress that does not look like a bag on me.

Like fuck if I'm gonna shave my legs, though.

- I need to do some RP plotting at some point.

- G+, how do I quit you? You are cleverly made (Tumblr with less weens) but so problematic, and you're reminding me of the reason I never switched to Chrome years ago--e.g. Google policies are sketchy.

I typoed that as 'Google polices'. That too.

- Watched Leverage's The Van Gogh Job with Matt and I can't decide if it was terribly sweet or rather messed up in its simplistic examination of racial issues in 1940s Oregon. I don't really have much to say about it other than that. I also wasn't sure about the use of the cast as the 40s characters. A mirror of Hardison and Parker was understandable, but not the others.

- I am reading Transmetropolitan and it is all right, a clever indictment of the wtfery that is the media. Funny how things are pretty well unchanged in fifteen years, in the sense of what needs criticism and what doesn't, but it's a pity Ellis didn't anticipate streaming video.
