The pretty, the nerdy and the ugly

[flexagon]

I'm definitely doing my best to weird people out today--this is a pretty casual office, and today I'm wearing a black tango dress with a ragged handkerchief edge that flutters all over the place, and heels, and yes, pearls. It's fun to see who asks me what's going on and who just gives me an odd look. What's up, of course, is that tonight is the last tango class and I thought it'd be fun to dress up for it.

Also good: Coraline is finally out in paperback as of today, and it's on its way to me. Here's hoping it arrives before I leave for NJ next Wednesday. I really wanted to buy The Phoenix Exultant for the trip since it would have been a long enough read for sure and I just read its prequel, but noooooooo, it's not coming out in paperback until September. *snivel* *life is no fair*

Work is still evil... here's hoping I can take this weekend off, or (since I'm supposed to be loading all our stuff onto a laptop) at the very least maybe I can work from home instead of schlepping my tired self in here.

Regarding a couple of days ago: what, no replies to my bachelor(/-ette) party rant? I definitely thought we had some pro-bachelor-party types online. I was curious what they would say as they sprang to the parties' defense.

Oh, I'm jealous...

I never get to wear inappropriate things to work anymore. Well, I suppose I do work naked a lot, but it's just not the same without an audience.

I don't think hiddenbear's had time to chime in about the bachelor party thing. I really can't see HLM doing anthing at all shady at his. I mean REALLY can't. Often they are just a bunch of guys sitting around bs'ing and enjoying each other's company. At least that's what my spies tell me.

I think your fears of HLM going out and sowing his oats one last time isn't based on any bachelor party I've ever seen. Tom Hanks and crew might have gotten away with it back in the 80's, but ... honestly, most people just go and watch strippers, etc.

I think you need to trust HLM a little more. If he loves you and I'm sure he does. He'll draw the line appropriately.
