Good for you (and for MsFish) for sticking to it, though. I don't go shopping at all mostly nowadays--it's much easier. Though I *need* to get new clothes to wear to work, especially jeans--my jeans are all at least 3 years old and fraying at the ankle, and long ago lost their blueness. But that won't be in my budget for another year. If anyone hears of freelance opportunities, by the way, I really need some leads. I need to find ways to make some extra cash to be able to speed up the ability to get such necessities.

I'm happy to have Chimera as a friend, and it's because I love her that I would not allow her to purchase the shrug.

Hmm, isn't a shrug basically a small shawl? <shrain shows that she might not be as fashion chic and savvy as she thought she was>

Anyway, I have two, count them, two joyous things to relate!

I got a coveted A+ on my latest asignment for my Book Pub Overview class. I did this content/design/organization critique of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Publishing Science Fiction. (Yeah, you're probably thinking "book report," but this wasn't your typical book report, honest!) I gave that book a thorough going-over and enjoyed it thoroughly. Not a bad reference book, actually, but that's the topic for another post (maybe).

Next happy thing: my friend (a criminalist from CA whom I met at CONduit) just got a promotion. Sweeet! He so deserved it, too. He's practically running the entire lab, keeping the cases from reaching critical mass and imploding. :D

I'm happy because my oldest brother and his wife had a baby boy last Saturday. Now if some of my other siblings would start having kids to play with my kids. Some aren't even married (and yes I am referring to 42).

Definition from a fashion site: Shrug - a sweater, usually of shrunken proportions, worn as a layering piece. Recent styles almost look like they are made of sleeves only.

And here's a couple of examples: one and two and three. But don't worry cyan--I wouldn't expect a guy to know what a shrug is.

Shrugs are everywhere right now--very fashionable. I really like the shiny ones with sequins and beading. 'Course, that's because I'm part raccoon. Oo! Sparkly object!

Those pictures look like the girl current fashion here. Tshirt type things with those over the top. Looks pretty cute.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

That was actually going to be my second guess! Cool.

Ha, ha, get it? 'Cause they're talking about shrugs, but I don't really know or care about the clothing, so... um... I....



I'll go back to my corner now.
(Edited to clarify that it's the article of clothing I don't care about, not cyan's counseling thing.)

I think the Superfly Night Crew is getting moldy in that corner. Someone will have to clean it up before we can send anyone else there.

I'm happy because MsFish is the greatest, and because I've been writing something besides the stuff I do at work.
