Full of grump

[clevermanka]

Another fantastic Dr. Boli entry today.


Cheeptrims emailed me late yesterday to tell me that the gold venise lace I needed to finish the frock coat is back-ordered. It won't be available until May. So the coat is not going to be finished for the Pirate Ball. Very sad. I'm going to wear it unadorned. I don't want to wear naked bloomers, though, so if anyone in Lawrence has some drippy white or ivory-colored venise lace (1 inch or longer) that they'd be willing to trade me for some lovely drippy black venise lace, please let me know.

I have a wretched headache. Yay for getting to go home early today. Boo for getting to go home early so I can scrub the entire downstairs in preparation for the reception tomorrow.

Apparently, it's necessary to put acid in the indigo mix when I'm coloring my hair. I've always done it because usually the wine (my acid of choice) is right there while I'm mixing. This time, the wine was in the living room so I skipped it and wound up with red roots. Had to re-indigo last night. Lesson learned!

Because yes, I am that sort of person, I have to say it nearly makes me weep that this is the sort of person who most commonly reproduces. Warning! There is talk of menstrual cups in the link the post itself--I can't speak for any comments--but nothing about blood or anything overly squirm-worthy.

Comments

And this...

your cervix is opening its door to let the sperm in..

gag.

That blows about the lace. I should check my stashes for you. I have no idea what I might have lying about... at least for the knickers.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I guess sperm are kinda squirm-worthy, so maybe I should revise my above statement. There were no comments yet when I posted the link.

Thanks for looking for lace possibilities!

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Ha!
I don't think sperm are squirm-worthy, I think that statement makes me want to gag. Maybe it's just me, but it reeks of that 'ooh, isn't creating new life precious' lalala crap.

'ooh, isn't creating new life precious' lalala crap

I think if you want to have a baby, yes, it is precious. I just wish we had more parents like our dear M&M, and fewer illiterates who cannot punctuate, capitalize, or otherwise express themselves in a legible fashion.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

I get your point about the illiterate breeder. And I'll up the ante with "who feels their life isn't complete without a precious baby BOY in the litter."
Thankfully, intelligent children do sometimes come from ignorant parents.

My point is that it sounds like one's little body bits are independently acting little beings with thoughts of their own. Hence.. gag.
In the same way some of the yoga/dance "spiritual" crap makes you cringe.

My, we are grumpy today, aren't we?

Her profile says she likes to read. My question: What the fuck does she read?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Laurel K. Hamilton.

Stephanie Meyer.

They aren't? You coulda fooled me with my G.I. issues. =D

That menstrual cup post reminds me of one of my fav lines from TWILIGHT: "My traitor tears, betraying me."

Because what could traitor tears do BESIDES betray you?

I know nothing of lace. Natalia might. We used to have drippy lace.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I called her last night, but I think she was on the treadmill and didn't answer. Either that or she's ignoring me.

Shouldn't it be "traitorous tears" anyway? Hello, editor?

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

So you did it again with wine and it took? Really? Oh Wine, is there nothing you can't do?

Lets always remember this.

[tessagratton.livejournal.com]

Ahh, we were out last night until almost 10.

My other fav Twilight-needs-and-editor line is "dust moats."

I read a review where they were all "Ahhh! dust moats to keep out the dust Vikings."

That book has given me so many hours of entertainment. Despite itself.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Maybe the editor hated the book and left that stuff in there to make it enjoyable for you.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

For. Real.

[tessagratton.livejournal.com]

I can dream.

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

My traitor fingers, betraying me.

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

My dust-moat tears, concealing circling sharks around my encastelled walls.

[tessagratton.livejournal.com]

I like the alliteration of "tears."

How about "my traitor tits, betraying me?"

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Everything's better with wine or its sparkly companion, champagne.

[tessagratton.livejournal.com]

hehehehhehehehehehehehhehehehe. encastelled walls. hehehehehe.

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Touche! Try "traitor ta-tas" - 'tis even more alliterative!

[tessagratton.livejournal.com]

YES!

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

Well, y'know, I could see where this bullet-train was headed....

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Ha!

[grnvixen.livejournal.com]

have you tried eBay for the lace? Check out #350324257031 and 290414241636.

Cause I'm all about the icing :).

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

There's no way anything I buy today would get here in time. Pirate Ball is Saturday. =(

[slinka.livejournal.com]

How about "traitor taters"? I'm going to use that at dinner tonight. "Oh, you traitor taters..."

[funky-peacenik.livejournal.com]

If that chick has a kid... my kid will beat its ass.

Honestly... I wanted to punch her after reading the 1st line. Seriously, if you are that dumb (or lazy) write your post in Word and then copy it over.

I am thinking of doing the henna thing on my head. The massive amount of grey hair is starting to creep me out.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Well you know where to come for advice on the henna! Not so much with the kid stuff.

Potatoes are evil. Mmmmm. Potatoes....
