Time to put away the decorations and move on with this bleak winter. It's a lot easier to clean up after Christmas on the blog than it is in real life. Then again, I don't decorate so there really wasn't anything to do except chuck the couple of chotchkies I got as gifts this year.
I wish the album art had loaded, I love the cover of this record so I'm yoinking it from Amazon so this post is prettier.
Actually, I do. SO glad I bought this stupid "slutty pirate" costume when I saw it on sale. I KNEW I'd find a reason to wear it.
Being cold out, I'm also wearing leggings. And simply flats rather than slut shoes. The first pair of flats I donned had cross straps and I looked like some freaky, BAD, ballerina pirate hybrid. Now I just look like a fool (or a waitress at Jolly Roger's.... are those still around? Anyone else remember them?) and fool is what I was going for.
Gonna grab some cheap champagne and head up to Hollywood and hope this food fight goes off.
I just went on a shopping spree for work pants and it included a pair in the largest size I've ever bought... 26. Eeeegads!!
I've bought shirts that large before, cause I wanted them giantly oversized, but never pants. And never ever pants that fit.
On the bright side, they were on sale for $8.13.
I got a sweater/jacket for about the same price in size 30/32... massively oversize but I like the super loose fit. I also got a negligee, though I've got no one to wear it for. But that's what happens during good sales!! I ended up with 5 or 6 pair of work slacks (all black or grey base color), 1 pair of sweat/lounge pants (dark grey), 1 print sweater/jacket (giraffe or leopard print), 1 casual jacket (black), and 1 nightie (black w/floral) for about $160... not bad.
I once read that a sign of being ashamed of your weight is buying all black. But I buy dark bottoms, and jackets, because they're easier to mix.
I haven't tried on my Newport-News sweater or slacks yet cause I tried the jacket and it's about a billion sizes too large. I ordered it in calf-length and it hangs to the floor. It looks like a gigantic ugly robe. I thought it was supposed to be reversible fleece but the black side is ultrasuede and has the leopard print showing through all the seams. It looks like it's inside out. On the leopard print side, it's an oddly colored print - looks okay in dim lighting (or dark rooms) but icky in light. Such a total disappointment!!! I'm really hit & miss with Newport-News... some things are great, others suck hardcore.
I didn't got to the champagne tasting today. I wasn't feeling it and definitely wasn't going to buy any champagne so it seemed like a big "Why Bother?"
Now I'm killing time till the spaghetti food fight. Only 6 RSVPs but he says its still gonna happen. I still plan to wear my pirate outfit. Cheap beer is being supplied but that won't get me buzzed enough to food fight so I'm planning to bring cheap champagne.
Here is my favorite Vic Chesnutt memory: The first time I ever saw Vic in concert, I was very surprised to notice that we were wearing identical shirts. I'm not talking about the same R.E.M. concert tee or something like that; I'm talking about the same dark blue long-sleeved button-up collared shirt with thin white lines criss-crossing across it. The chances of two people wearing that shirt on the same night at the same venue...well, I don't really know what the chances were. I'd say very small. Later on in the same evening, he sang "Gravity of the Situation" and I cried like a stupid fucking baby.
I'm schlepping along on my roommate's pet sitting runs, in case she gets stuck in the snow. It beats another day lying around watching bad tv. I was starting to get bed sores.

My step-father-in-law took some pictures yesterday of the freezing fog. It was really beautiful. I yoinked these from his facebook page, hopefully he'll post more because it was really spectacular out yesterday. There was a pretty neat looking frozen spider web, I hope he got one of that.
Looks like our big snowstorm today is going to be a bust. It will only be rain for the next few days. Hooray!
