Can someone explain to me why these shoes cost $1200? Seriously? Seriously? I can't fathom paying a couple hundred dollars for shoes (though there are a couple pairs of boots which have, in the past, tempted me, and I have a feeling that once I have a nice paycheck, I will likely have at least one pair of really nice boots, though probably less than two hundred max.

But twelve hundred dollars? Seriously? I'll admit, I think they're kind of awesome, but they are nowhere near that awesome.

Okay, say there was going to be a fancy dress party in a few weeks, at a convention maybe, and the theme was the Carnivale di Venezia, the Carnival of Venice, what kind of costume ideas would you have for me, taking two things into consideration, a) that I don't know how to do my own regular make-up and b) this has to not only travel to the convention in a car but then be able to fit into a suitcase to make the flight to Salt Lake City after?

It's been a long time since I came up with a costume for a fancy dress anything. Suggestions?

Also, internet is back on at home, so I hope to do a bunch of posting this weekend of writing things I have finished but could not post.

I think I need toe socks. Stripey, cute, warm toe socks. Maybe cat toe socks, black cat toe socks. Because I'm freezing. I'm doing one last load of laundry--well, maybe one more, because I need to wash the afghans my sister made me, so I can put them on the bed and make a nice, warm, gigantic nest. (I love my king size bed.) I don't have any toe socks, I've not had any interest in toe socks before. Instead I'm wearing gray socks with shiny star grips on the bottom. Cute.

I found my jean jacket, pulled all the pins from it, and am running it through the washing machine now. It's a great jacket, and will be very warm over the hooded, long-sleeve t-shirts I have to wear to work. Unfortunately, I only have two colors, but I hope to find more. It is the best shirt in the world, very comfortable and toasty.

I've had pizza, diet dr pepper, fic writing, and a really good movie. Today could only get better if I'd had the chance to talk to Sarah, but we spent a lot of time plotting yesterday, and I can't complain.

I put up Halloween decorations last night; I actually found one of the boxes in the storage unit, so I've decorated a little. I also found some of the gifts I need to mail off to people. Christmas presents will come early for some people.

(Plus those who have already received them, in person, in Florida. Hee.)

I should really get back to writing. Like, right now.

Um, so I kept saying I could wear my black boots instead of new black strappy shoes? Since I couldn't find strappy shoes and my black boots are fun? Well, that plan would work so much better if I knew where the black boots were. I went looking for them tonight and no luck. I know I had them when I first moved up here, because I wore them to job interviews, but once I snagged a job where I can wear trainers, I haven't thought about the boots. And now I have no freaking clue. Crap.

This next week might possibly be insane. Except remove might possibly and insert absolutely already is. I have even started packing, but I have so much to do. Crap crap crap.

However, in less than six days I will be on holiday with [livejournal.com profile] thestalkycop and [livejournal.com profile] scouseboy. Woo! I was going to whinge about how I'd ordered gifts for them (and something for me for the trip) last week and it was supposed to ship and be here in two days and I hadn't even received the shipping confirmation email, but I just did and the box is due to arrive Tuesday. My pants are due to arrive tomorrow. Which means I then add hemming to my to do list.

Time to write it and get some sleep.

to do list is here )

Clothes things.

One, I need a belt. I never wear belts, but I can't keep my jeans up today. I swear they weren't this loose yesterday and I just ordered a couple more pairs, thinking I wouldn't shrink out of them so fast. I am now afraid I will be pantsless again in a month or two. Crap.

On the other hand, yay losing weight.

Except they don't make belts for underwear and my underwear is falling off, too. My favorite orange halloween underwear. Damn it.

Two, yes I am wearing halloween colors because fall and halloween is in the air. I can't wait, except it means my holiday will be over. However, halloween will cheer me up.

Three, I need long sleeves. It is cold here today. Should be back in the eighties tomorrow, but it is chilly and went and I am freezing.

However, I am buying soup from Panera for lunch, which will be good. They always get me with Panera; I bring my lunch most days, but last month the only time I bought was when they got Panera. Looks like this month will be the same, even though I'll be gone a full week.

FLORIDA IS A WEEK FROM TOMORROW OHMYGOD YAY!!!111!!!11!

[livejournal.com profile] thestalkycop do you want me to bring the Lost DVDs with me on holiday? Because they were waiting for me when I got home from the gym, oh yay. No extra DVD, because Best Buy online apprently hates me. Does anyone have a copy they'd be willing to burn? Or let me download from you? Because I want it and I bought from Best Buy just for that damn CD and well I don't have it.

I also received books today. Teen fiction, mostly, plus the Emma Frost Higher Learning graphic novel. I already want the next one and the next and the next. I adore Emma. She reminds me of Shauna so much.

It is nearly time for bed. One more day and then it is the weekend. I can box up clothes for donations, box up books for donations, do laundry, clean, buy nail polish, and start to pack. (I am kidding. I will make lists, but I won't actually start packing until next Friday night. Maybe at 3 a.m. Saturday morning because I am a big packing slacker. However, when I get started, I get it done fast.)

I also bought presents for Sarah and Craig and new pants. I might actually have club pants now. Well, my version of such. Which means I am done, because I don't think they make strappy black shoes like I want. I'm very upset I lost the pair I had in one of the moves while at university.

Yes, I bought guy pants for my dress pants. Heh. I will have to hem them and do a few little alterations and very fast because they won't be here until Monday or Tuesday, but still, they fit better and are nice and simple. I also bought guy shirts yesterday. Guy clothes are just so much better. My work clothes are guy polos and jeans, too.

I do wear woman shoes, though. I've worn guy boots in the past, but right now they are all woman.

This weekend I have so much to do. Gah.

Watching Lost's season finale for the first time. Yes, I know I'm a horrible fan.

Why didn't you tell me.... )

I don't think I can make it to next week.

My DVDs need to get here right now. I want to write fic about something in the penultimate episode and I want to do it before I'm jossed by the new season and by god I want the DVDs right now. I need something to keep me from counting every freaking second between now and 24 September.

Went to the store to find items for the holiday, in particular nail polish, trainers, dress shoes, and plain black pants. Came home with new trainers (score! finally and they are shiny blue) and a handful of t-shirts on sale, mostly about surfing. I love surfing. Also they were on sale and therefore cheap, so when I can't wear them anymore in a few months I will not mourn passing them on. (Actually, I will, but because they are so cool, not because they were expensive).

I've pretty much given up on dress pants and shoes. I will wear boots and jeans and if the clubs don't want to let me in, screw them. Sorry, Sarah. I will look cute from the waist up, I promise.

In a non-fandom, non-fun note, I have a headache. Bed time.
