Good: The 7am AND 8am meetings were canceled this morning!
Even better: The 7am meeting tomorrow morning has been canceled!
Oh well: I still have a 7am meeting on Monday.

Holiday shopping with Dad was good. However, it did involve this scene:
Sales lady at department store, ringing up our purchases: "Your outfit is lovely! Oh, I know what this style is called, it's on the tip of my tongue ..."
Me, wearing a black wool frock coat, black ruffled blouse, black full skirts, oxblood lipstick, blackened maroon smokey eye makeup, and freshly-dyed burgundy hair: "It's mostly gothic. Gothic Victorian."
Sales lady: "Noooo. It's ... something punk?"
Me, resignedly: "Steampunk."
Dad, standing at the counter, tries not to crack up.
DEAR STEAMPUNK, WE VICTORIAN GOTHS WOULD LIKE OUR CLOTHES BACK. THANKS. ::sighs, shakes be-ringed tiny fists at the uncaring sky::
