In the spirit of pheloniusfriar, the quote of the day goes to 939

...doing a fine job of holding the couch down

My plans this w/e include:

Actually sewing the tudor corset I've been talking about for three weeks, maybe seeing Master and Commander again - at the Astor tomorrow night, and walking in beachyness with sjkasabi and doushkasmum. Maybe I'll also get to discuss THE PROPOSAL with the others and get somewhere.

( Last night I decided that I needed to write a list of the things I need to do to get my life in order.  )

As a beginning, I will now change out of my work clothes and cook some dinner. Maybe we'll go out...

my first stupid meme

1. Go into your LJ's archives.
2. Find your 23rd post (or closest to).
3. Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.

The w/e was mostly a win though.

Who the heck is Beau Brummell?

Today at work I read this article while sitting in the lunch room with a bunch of other people. It featured this quote:'

So I'm exclaiming here, and then I'm going to bed
