quiet evening
Dec. 16th, 2005 10:24 amFinally saw March of the Penguins. Unlike everyone else who saw this movie, I do not want a pet penguin. I want a penguin suit. This is probably related to the fact that it's under 30 today, and their fur looks rather warm. But, I put on a silk blouse and two sweaters and I felt ok waiting for the bus. Died once I got to the office and we had to do a fire drill. Only five floors but still.
I wasn't sure if I fell asleep so early last night because a) I ate a lot of Scooter's onion rings, b) drank two Spires, or c) had no caffeine at all except two cups of tea at work.
Oh, we also started (finally) season 2 of Bullshit. The PETA episode is disturbing. Not because it really says much I didn't already know and hate about PETA, but it's just so unpleasant I don't really like to think about it.

Dec. 16th, 2005 04:20 pmmost of the fervor over low-cut pants seems to have died down. I was rather hesitant to speak in the height of the backlash, but now I will go on record saying that I love low-cut pants. Not really for anyone else, but for me specifically, they are totally awesome.
Why? Two reasons:
1) You don't have to worry about the butt fitting and the waist not fitting, because the low rising point means they don't come up to your natural waist.
2) Because I'm short, the non-juniors* brands do not even come close to hootchie-fying me. In fact, they still cover my belly button. But only just, whereas "normal" pants come up almost to my bra line.
edit: final word:
* note for men: juniors are the odd-sized clothes, "misses" are even-sized. Typically the former is cut tighter and the latter is cut larger. Although, ten years ago a 5 did indeed equal a 6, but nowadays it's more like 6=9 if you're changing departments.
