Topic: The New Box!
Good morning. notice anything different? Yes, that's correct. The litterbox is a bit different. It's going to be a bit different every day for a while. It's like going into the store dressing room with a zillion new outfits to try on. I have to try them all on and in different combinations to see how they look on me. So I'll be trying on a bunch of new clothes on the litterbox to see which one I like best.
Not that new colours or graphics will clean up the stench around here, but it will make things pretty enough that I hope no one notices that while it's new box on the outside, it's still the same old crap on the inside!
Still patiently waiting for spring to arrive. There's plenty of rain, and it is above freezing, but all that's doing is turning the snow into grey ice pellets. We seem to have two choices, above freezing and rainy, or below freezing and sunny. At this point I think I'll take the sun. I don't get soaking wet from sunshowers.
I've been gluing crystals to a few things, notably some pink stretchy velvet. I've really toned down my original idea for the one top. It was way overboard when I laid out the crystals before gluing them down. And for me to think something is way overboard...you get the picture! It might have fit in back in the mid seventies disco glitter era, but in the 21st century...it was a bit much.
The tank top only needs its eyelets now. Everything else is completed. The pants have all the main seams done, all I need to do it attach the waistband to the pants. No crystals or doo dads here, that would look excessively tacky. The pants are tacky enough as it is!
I forgot to offer my pithy yet pointed comments on the latest episodes of Project Runway! i know Christian wins, that's no surprise and the fine art challenge proved once again that someday he deserves to take over Dior. The fine art challenge was interesting. I loved Sweet P's peacock inspiration and hated what she did with it. I would have made a bustled and trained dress, short in the front, long in the back and used miles and miles of layered organzas in blues, greens and golds. perhaps with a gold bodice. They had three hundred dollars and you can get some spectacular fabrics with that money --or you can get large quantities of fabric. Of course rami the draper picked the grecian goddess...no surprise. This seemed to be the first challenge where Gillian wasn't on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Next week is the reunion episode where Victorya exposes herself as a first class whiny bitch. It's also the first new episode of CSI:Miami. A malcontent from the production staff has been posting all sorts of stuff about David Caruso, AKA Super Cop and his Sunglasses of Justice. Most of it is the "he can't walk and chew gum at the same time and he can't remember any more than three words at a time" variety. Who cares? It's just a stupid cop show! I still say that Caruso is this generation's Shatner and twenty five years from now there will be CSI conventions and a CSI nerd cults. It's all good fun and not meant to be taken so seriously. I assume we'll be watching Miami. I wonder if they will continue with the planned story arc leading to Super Cop having a Super Breakdown. (that's what the broken Sunglasses of Justice are supposed to symbolize; Caine having a full scale mental meltdown.)
So that's all for today. Perhaps I will fiddle around with some more blog settings and hope I don't destroy it!
