Stuff. Things. Randomness.

Dread Beastie cat is currently at the vet, waiting to be injected with radioactive iodine to treat his hyperthyroidism. He might get to come home as soon as Friday afternoon. Of course, once he's home, we have to limit our contact with him to an hour a day for a bit, until he stops being quite so radioactive. Personally, I'm hoping he gets cool mutant powers from all this along with stopping the hyperthyroidism. C'mon, it would be neat! Of course, that frivolous hope doesn't really distract me from the fact that my kitty is at the vet, and may be for the next few days. I'm trying not to think about it too much, otherwise I start to get weepy. I just want Beastie *home* and *healthy*

One of the managers on my team sent out the "Just an FYI to those of you who share an office or sit in the "cave" – there are a couple of people with allergies who are very sensitive to cologne, perfume, etc. If you could keep this in mind, your coworkers would greatly appreciate it. Let me know if you have any questions.." email. I feel kind of guilty, because I'm pretty sure I've been just this side of too lavish with my morning applications of Angel and Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab goodies. I haven't had to worry about it before because I had my own office.


So! In an effort to distract myself, I present

Stripey Victorian CorpGoth

• Black pointy-toe lace-up Fluevog witchy boots


• Black tights


• B & W striped mermaid skirt: it's a straight skirt to the knees, and then flares out into a ten-gore full skirt from the knees to the ankles


• White frilly high-collar blouse w/ attached lacy jabot pinned w/ an antique bat brooch


• Black high-collared jacket w/ batwing point hem


• The usual top hat, with my hair in two pigtails at the nape of my neck

And the usual makeup of powder, liquid liner, mascara, and Vamp lipstick.



My holiday cheer can make itself known any time now. No, really. Any time now.
