Shopping with a friend who's tall and thin and looks gorgeous in anything is a rather depressing experience! Still, K. and I hit the mall and had a great time, even if I had to bite back some seething jealousy at her purchases. ;) On the plus side, I got a ton of clothes for very little money, thanks to coupons and clearance racks. Lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, which I've always found rather overrated, and then another hour sitting around Starbucks. Quite a lovely Saturday, though I'm looking forward to doing absolutely nothing tomorrow.
Tonight I played around with my layout. It's now all bright 'n cheerful, though I don't know how long I'll keep it. I still want something autumnal, but the stock photo backgrounds I've got won't work with this particular layout -- which I love because it has lots of text with very little fuss. (I'm an oldskool purist, I guess!)
Speaking of autumn... judging by the looks of things, the trees will start popping sometime next week. Yay! This is my favorite time of the year. Just wish the weather would cooperate and start cooling down.
Two links via Slate: a really interesting article on
copyright infringement as it relates to fandom and the 'net, and
an analysis of what's "wrong" with The Office. A bit more negative than I would've liked, but I definitely won't miss the hour-long episodes.
In case it's not obvious, I don't have much to say tonight. I'll sign off with a great quote from this week's Ugly Betty: ''As I always say, if you have nothing to write, try killing yourself. If you fail, you'll have something to write about. If you succeed, your troubles will be over.''
