You guys up north need flannel sheets. Nothing beats flannel sheets on a cold winter night.

I prefer the warmth of a good woman.

Me too. Except, y'know, a man.

I actually find flannel sheets too warm. But we do have the world's greatest duvet on our bed - I love curling up under that thing and leaving the house really cold at night. It's like sleeping in a marshmallow.

Flannel sheets get all pill-y though. I had an awesome set of light yellow ones but after a year of washes they weren't as much fun anymore.

I kind of hate this "Don't dress up for work" situation. Within my wardrobe there's barely a middle ground between laced-up office wear and freaked-out punk and goth stuff. I end up wearing my work-out clothes mostly, so I look like a slob. I hate jeans.

I loved my last job so much. I wore all my freaky clothes, listened to my own music at whatever volume I wanted, and didn't really do anything but sell people cigarettes and glass pipes. Unfortunately all the fun jobs don't pay the bills.

That's better with flannel sheets, too.

And the sheets are a lot easier to get into bed. Don't start fights at 11:30 p.m. either. And they never hog the bed.

I haven't had a non-dress up job since I was a bartender when I was 21. Not only did I get to wear jeans, but I also had to wear the "uniform", which was a sort of nifty bowling shirt type thing with the bar name on the back. Easiest job I've ever had to dress for. I got to program all the music too.

I miss that job.

Peculiar question which probably does not have a good answer:

I hate gold so I always wear silver earrings, mostly hoops and danglers. I forget that I wear earrings until I notice that I've been wearing the same pair for two months, and then I change them. But the weirdest thing happens. My right earring turns kind of pinkish reddish brown, like it's tarnished but i don't think I have any "real" silver earrings. And it's only my right. I am a bit disturbed.

Anybody wearing a costume today?

I came to work as Little Dead Riding Hood.

i went as a photographer to my son's preschool's halloween parade around their neighborhood....they had like 8 spidermen.

one of those was my kid, with all sorta bulging muskles sewn in...mask on and about 3 and a ½ feet tall.

and i overdosed on cute in general, but now i'm into the crunch bars something FIERCE here.

oversugared to the max.

Already wore a costume to a big party over the weekend, so I can't summon the energy to recreate it again tonight. It was pretty good though - I went as a crime scene. I bought "Police Line: Do Not Cross" tape, wrapped myself in it, covered two Barbies in blood and safety-pinned them to my sweater. Really simple costume, but effective. Got a lot of compliments.

[samplestiltskin]

Mmmm, bloody Barbies. Nice.

Bruises make nice costumes too, always a good conversation starter:



oh my god! how did you get those?

oh, my roommate and i like to punch each other. don't worry, i got her back:



we make such a lovely couple...

[phil]

Holy cow! What do you girls do for Giggles & Fun ...

Gréco-roman wrestling ??

And please, feed your roommate something between bouts ! !

hey, she eats like a horse and is very sensitive about her weight.

for fun she researches bugs and quantum physics on the internet and follows me around the house excitedly telling me about it, while i do the dishes and pick up after her slovenly ass.
