I've recently found myself reverting back to plain jane tunic tees for work wear because I have such a hard time finding actual shirts/blouses that fit my tall (5'10") frame properly. I'd like to get back to looking a little more polished, and I've got my eye on several tops at Old Navy (this, this, and this), but I thought I'd check in here for your thoughts first. Specifically I'm wondering if a) ON tops are still doing that bizarre lengthwise shrinkage thing, and b) anyone has actually ordered any of the shirts I linked to and can give me an idea of how they fit (maybe with special attention paid to where the bottom of the shirt falls to). Any other advice you have regarding non-ugly (so basically everything on the LB website is out because the fug seems to be running rampant around there lately), work appropriate tops in a 22/24 or 3x with extra length would be appreciated as well. Thanks!

A member of the David Tennant forum received this in reply to her concern about eBay Monsters bombarding David and Patrick Stewart at the stage door.

"Thank you for your email. We already have in place a ruling that no Doctor Who or Star Trek merchandise will be signed. Only merchandise relevant to the current productions that the actors are appearing in are to be signed as and when the actors wish to do so. There is a sign clearly stating this in the window of Stage Door at the Courtyard Theatre."

Hopefully, this will keep any silliness to a minimum. What does everyone think? *puts on tin hat and ducks* ;)

I am back in AZ! Home sweet hot and humid home. I want to write about the visit, about how the differences between the two sids of my family (mom's and dad's) makes me think. About how seeing my great aunt basically warehoused in a Medicaid facility contrasted with my grandmother living in a retirement complex. About how sweet the ceremony was and how my dad got down to YMCA on the dance floor.

But at 3:30 am on Tuesday morning, I realized that a pipe burst at my parents' house had burst, and I'm too tired to talk about any of it now. ( Plumbing is now my sworn enemy. )

Title:Offices, mugs and...goats
By: endgegner07
Rating: PG
Pairing: H/W
Warnings: none

For schnuffie , who wanted H/W and a goat on a mug.

House practically ripped the door to Wilson's office off of its hinges. 

A sweet little manip. 
(too small to call it picture-story... maybe one could call it "little picture story" *g* )

Not. Mine.

Someone on my flist always knows the answer to this and I never do: has there been another Donald Strachey movie? Not On The Other Hand, Death - I have that - but has there been another one since or am I going crazy?

I bring you Recorded Books versions of Carnival (available now) and Undertow (coming the day after my birthday. What a fine present!).

Dust will be along eventually, or so I hear, since I just had a phone call with a lovely man yesterday about the pronunciations of the names in the book.

Looking back at my to-do list (previous post) it occurs to me that the whole point of getting the dratted deadline for Chill moved (it looks now as if it will be published for Fall 2009, so never fear; it is not being pushed back a full year) was so I could take some time off from novels and let my brain regrow.

Yes, Bear. Your inner compulsive workaholic is fooling you again. Take a chill pill and actually let the fallow period be, yanno, kind of fallow. Writing is a self-exhaustive act, and you need to remember that you can't go full-bore all the time.

...besides, there are all these short things I need to finish, and I should finish them.

Disclaimer:  I own nothing. Except for David Tennant (He just doesn’t know it yet...)

I stayed home today and while I'm not happy about that, it did give me a chance to finish my latest two books.

First I read Cherie Bremer-Kamp's book, Living on the Edge, and then I read Joe Simpson's Touching the Void. Poor Cherie never stood a chance with me: Touching the Void is one of the best books I've ever read. Wow. I am still kind of stunned. Poor rattlecatcher had to put up with me gushing about it for, like, 20 minutes this morning. (She told me there is a movie so I have to go find it!)

It's not even that the writing's good, per se. It is - it's very good. But the story itself and the way he wrote it is just amazing. I've read a lot about the high altitude hallucinations people have (conversations with your feet at 27000 ft or people sitting on your ice ledge telling you they have tea set up just around the corner) but his experience was not at all like that. He had what he calls a voice inside that was insistent about keeping to a timetable and doing certain things, especially as he dragged himself off the glacier. It was deeply fascinating and the only thing that made the suspense at all bearable was that I knew he must have lived, since, hello, holding his book in my hands. I could not put it down. I was also really impressed with the sections written by his climbing partner, Simon Yates. OW. Painful and honest but not self exculpatory or irrational.

Augh. This is the worst rec ever. But, jeez. Read it! See for yourself! For me, I'm going back to bed and re-read it.  

Well, this is my first OOTD post. I just took the pic in the mirror, the quality isn't great, but hopefully I will be able to do better with that in the future.




Shirt: Tripp NYC for Torrid, bought on eBay (it kind of fits me funny but I like it too much to care)
Skirt: Tripp NYC for Hot Topic, bought on hottopic.com (the HT website actually does carry plus sizes you guys!
Stockings: Torrid; I need to get a garter for them.
Boots: Anarchic for Hot Topic (they are men's boots, which have thicker ankles, so they work for me and stop right before my leg gets fatter).

Rating: PG (at most)

Characters/Pairings: Cain/Gale (can be either Cain/Dg or Jeb/Az)
