you might think I'm working...

... but actually I'm composing spam poems and generating slogans on Anna's Blog.

bought a dress!!

YAY! I bought a wedding dress last Thursday!

No, I'm not putting a picture of it up. Nyah Nyah.

But sigh - must keep reading. Less than a month until my first written exam - still about a dozen items to go...

mad props to the mother of the groom...

... for having this to say about dress 8:

"Ya know, if you do the one that stands up on its own, you could slip out for drinks and no one would know."

Thanks, Connie, for focusing on what's truly important! ;)

Wedding Dress Update

I lifted the injunction on my father and now everyone except Matt can go look at my wedding dress blog, Dress Hunt, for fun pictures and hilarity at such fine establishments as David's Bridal. I will be purchasing (YAY YAY YAY!) a dress of still undetermined form at Amy Kuschel -- the leading contenders are Fiona, Veronica, and Lydia (drawings only available on the website). My heavies Statler and Waldorf will aid me in making the final, on-the-spot decision, next week. !!!!

Oh yeah, and I'm reading for orals. Promise.

oh come on...

Does anyone find it funny that the UK foreign secretary is named Jack Straw? Jack STRAW?? As in, peasants revolt leader 1381 jack straw???

Oh snap - Wikipedia has just informed me that politician Jack Straw adopted the name after the rebel leader. Now why the heck would he want to do that??
