I'm not wearing any pants!

Yay spring!

Actually, what was brought to my attention today, which wasn't nearly as relevant in winter, when I generally wear several petticoats, bloomers, and/or stockings under a heavy skirt, and a long coat over it - is that the airflow patterns in and around train stations leave me feeling an awful lot like Marilyn Monroe. Especially, for some reason, the New Carrollton subway station - coming up the stairs it generally looks like I'm wearing a hoop skirt.

I would have gone with not wearing any shoes, either, if the sun had contrived to stay out long enough to warm the sidewalks. Is it normal for going barefoot outside for the first time in spring to feel *that good*? (I'd say 'better than sex', but I have no real basis for comparison. Although the moany noises I was making while wiggling my toes in the grass this afternoon might have led someone to come to a different conclusion.)

And since it's barefoot/sandals time again, time to paint my toenails! I was going to do it during Bones, but alas no Bones. I hates reality shows, yes I does, precious. So I did it during this immensely stupid documentary about the Ten Commandments, instead. They're alternating brown-and-pink on one side, and all pink on the other, for that fetching assymetrical look! With gold glitter on top. And I have new sandals that are exactly like my old ones, and a double-breasted plum-colored suit that Mom bought at Goodwill that matches my plaid fedora.

And speaking of toenail polish - last night's House. I scanned a few community's flists after the episode (as you do) and I'm puzzled by the reaction to the toenail polish. That is, everybody seems to think that he's wearing it *voluntarily*. For eris' sake, this is a guy who's rooming with House! I'd say there's a 50% chance he lost a bet, a 30% chance House did it to him in his sleep, and a 20% chance he got talked into agreeing to it without realizing what was going on, with an accompanying 15% chance that House is currently wearing a complimentary shade. Plus, I totally came out of that ep squealing "House/Cuddy/Wilson" OT3, which also seems to be a unique reaction. House fandom is not nearly cracked enough, considering the canon.

... on that note, the I-can't-believe-it's-not-mpreg House/SG crossover finally hit the length limit for Notepad. Yay! (Not that that's ... very long at all, but for me it is.)

And while I'm doing a very boring entry, might as well go for meme thingy: Stuff that happened on my birthday: Root beer was invented. Star Wars Episode II came out. Star Wars Episode III came out. Liberace was born. David Boreanaz was born. Elliot Ness died. The Feast Day of St. Brendan the Navigator.

*yawn*

Hey, you have cool stuff for your birthday meme. All I found out was that I have the same birthday as Kenny Rogers. *headdesk*

*blink* Surely there *must* have been something better there. Anyway,it's not as if David Boreanaz isn't deeply embarassing too.

*yawn*

It could be worse; abaolutely no one interesting was born on July 25.

Hoop skirts... those are those skirts that had a metal framework underneath, right?

Spiff!

Well, they're skirts that have hoops in them that keep them belled out all the way all the time! I don't suppose the framework had to be metal; Mom and I made some for the OMHS musical one year with PVC pipe.

Until I was 3, I was under the impression that all fancy dresses had to be like that, even today (which, I guess, was back then).

I'm not really into fandom much, but from what comics stuff I've seen in various places, the canon is almost always more cracked. But then, look at the stuff I read. In fact, I don't think most of what I read has organized fandoms...

For most of comics fandom, it would be *impossible* for anything to be more cracked than the canon...

Of course, how could I have missed that one? Much more important to history than Attack of the Clones. Too bad it hasn't happened yet.

Wikipedia should have a section for "future events."

What time was that, 4:30? d-:

It's from the Christmas episode! Which happens to be one of the few that I have sitting around on tape! And I've been meaning to watch it again! Muaha!

(But, I'm sure you've seen it. It's the one with the moppet. You did a post and everything. (We could still watch it again, though!))

I dunno! You can check the web site just as easily as I! pop "marc train schedule" into Google.

Yes, I saw it. That was a very, very good episode. I thought that might be it, but I just didn't remember them having matching black negligees while stuck in quarantine...

P873 at 4:40 it is. Call me from Union Station - and call the shop number if I don't pick up at my desk!

Don't *you* keep a sexy black negligee in your backpack??
