I don't fucking care if you like it

I want to print this New Republic article on fabric, make it into a dress and wear it every day for the rest of my life.

This essay is depressing, though. "Things aren’t getting better for women on the Internet; they’re deteriorating, and ignoring the problem amounts to being complicit in it."

On the other hand, it's Friday. So yay. I didn't have any bad dreams last night. I slept well. I made it to the gym this morning where I did not injure myself (or anyone else).

I completed nearly all of my food prep for SDCC last night (meatballs, salmon cakes, and banana/almond flour pancakes--all of which freeze and travel well). The jerky has been marinading since Tuesday. I'll dry it Sunday. I'm set for protein for the trip! I also made myself a new pair of bloomers to wear for PJ bottoms.

While I was running errands (new water bottle, my own package of A shirts so I don't have to steal

mckitterick's for sleeping in, memory card for the GoPro), I picked up a container of this curl lotion. God damn it is amazing. It encourages curl without being stiff (like a lot of curl lotions), nor does it get flaky/chalky (like mousse). Also, it smells delicious. I have no idea why I never thought to look in the African-American hair aisle for curl lotions. I'm throwing out my other curl products when I get home tonight.

Five more hours until the weekend. I'm giving myself tonight off to just hang and enjoy

mckitterick's company. Then tomorrow morning I hit the ground running and don't really stop until I leave for San Diego. Latenight Callers show, KC errands, grocery shopping and food prep for

mckitterick's week in my absence, two going-away parties for grad students, training session, henna, laundry, and then it's Monday.

re that silly "in praise of 42-year old women" article ... as a 44-year old woman, whose shelf life is apparently two years expired, I fart in Tom Junod's general direction, as well as the general direction of anyone who dares condescend to consider my middle-aged ass as "still fuckable."

Hooray hanging out! I'm about to cut a bunch of holes in the Chevelle's new stainless-steel gas tank and see how far I can get with installing the new Stealth fuel pump. I'll be sure to wash up before 4pm ;-)

WOOOOO! Have fun!

Seanann McGuire always has entertaning things to say. Much you already know, but here's her guide to the SanDiego Comicon:

Oh, thank you!!!

have fun with your sweetie!!

Thanks! It was a great evening. And now it's Saturday and time to Get Started On Things. *sigh*

Booth #4129 (http://www.mtv.com/news/1872323/sherlock-bbc-shop-exclusive-sdcc/) at SDCC will be the BBC Shop and it looks like they're going to have some fun exclusive Sherlock merchandise.

holy smokies! I didn't get a chance to read the articles (just jetting in for a sec before heading off to the dentist--oh joy), but I LOVE the vision of wearing one as a dress. It speaks to me.

Since I've been out for a bit, I am not quite sure where you are. If you are in SD or en route, have a splendiferous time. it is very exciting.

Thank you! I leave Wednesday!

so excited for you! enjoy all of it and I look forward to your posts :)

You just reminded me that mum and I used to use a sheen spray back in the 80s and now I can't find it...we LOVED it. The only thing we didn't like is the slippery bathroom floor after using it, LOL.

Have a fabulous time.. I've seen by her posts that Dawn Devine will be out there wandering around ... squee.

Post-hairspray bathroom floors are TREACHEROUS.
