Restless
I haven't seen much about the Oscar fashions, but perhaps I'm running in the wrong circles for that these days. I skimmed some online galleries and found two that made me think I'd wear that:
Everyone's saying Beyoncé looked like a curtain, but the shape of this dress is stunning and fits her well. If it had been red instead of the weird black and gold print, people would've been raving. Apparently it's from her mother's design line (her mother has a design line?), so I guess she couldn't really say no to it. As far as the basic silhouette goes, I love it. I love the neckline, I love the fit, and I love that she's not a freaking beanpole in it.
Speaking of beanpoles...Marisa Tomei could stand to eat a sammich perhaps, but her dress is nothing short of ethereal. It's the best of all possible worlds: a 1950s glamor design aesthetic coupled with miles of exquisite pleats. I would wear this in a heartbeat. Even if it is white. People are gonna copy this for their wedding gown this year, or at least they should. It's a masterpiece, in my opinion.
I am so very happy that people are finally past that wretched slip-dress phase. Hurray for actual fashion design.
Back to Actual Life: I had an NMT session with Dr. Adams on Monday. My nose has been dripping for about a week, and on Friday I started breaking out in hives. My nose is still dripping a bit, but it certainly helped the hives, which are nearly gone today.
We watched Ironman last night. It was really good. No, I hadn't seen it yet. Wanted to. Wanted to see it in the theater, but it just didn't happen. I can see why everyone was so disappointed about Terrence Howard not getting his part for the sequel.
I very much need to get back in exercise mode. I've got to figure out a way to get more than five or six hours of sleep a night. This is killing me. Ugh. Last night I laid down to sleep and just lay there for over two hours. I tried deep breathing, different positions, singing mantras in my head--nothing. I should've gotten up, but I kept thinking "surely I'll fall asleep any minute now." How can I be so tired and still unable to fall asleep? It sucks. Mornings aren't much fun after that, let me tell you.
