Things:

- I have been rewatching Farscape. You guys, Farscape is pretty much totally awesome. I mean, I don't have to tell you that but it bears restating. Even the first couple episodes. Even without Scorpius. I am sort of in full-on reobsession mode over here. The bouncy babbly OMG, you guys, this show kind. Whee!

- My mom has been doing a clothing purge of late and has given me things. So now I have a new skirt (ankle length, black, feather patterns in brown) and a rusty colored short-sleeved linen dress and a shawl. The shawl is brown and green and blue and kinda looks like camouflage, but I like it. I am wearing it today. It's exciting.

- Relatedly, the last time I wore my jeans, I noticed that they had a hole in them. So Monday, I went out to get new jeans. As I was trying them on, I thought to myself, "Self, you were only wearing jeans because it was laundry day. You don't wear jeans. You wear cargo pants or corduroy pants or skirts. Mostly skirts. Why are you buying new jeans?" So I didn't buy them. I always kinda expected my taste in clothing to eventually evolve out of the jeans + t-shirt = dressed mode*, but I didn't really expect them to evolve into long skirt + button-down shirt + necktie and vest = dressed. Huh.

- Staff meeting today. Blah. But still, maybe I will get to go home early because of it.

- And then I can watch more Farscape!




*Though, admittedly, some days are still cargo pants + t-shirt = dressed because crawling around on the floor of the children's library is not really that good for skirts.

Ok, you guys, I am now going to wax extremely enthusiastic about centuries-old clothing technology but it is relatively new to me, all right? So what I have to say is: shawls are pretty much awesome. They are cozy, they are pretty, they're like a jacket except that you don't have to take them off indoors, they're like a sweater except that they're easier to remove if necessary, they're like a blanket except less cumbersome. Really, the only way that the shawl I have been wearing all day could be improved would be if it had pockets. And that is only because almost every garment could be improved by the addition of pockets. In all other ways - totally great.

...I was pretty much designed by nature to be a spinster, wasn't I?
