random stuff and things ...

I went to Punk Night last night. Silly me, I was expecting it to be Batcave night. It was still fun - I obviously didn't dance to anything, but got to hang out with a bunch of folks I don't get to see often. Note to self: oh yeah, that trying to not be a hermit thing. Huh.

I've been busy with various sewing projects; trying to get a bunch of alterations to things finished before my new job starts. What I should be doing is writing a couple months worth of columns in advance, updating the website, jotting down some story ideas, and refreshing my knowledge of XML. Maybe I'll start doing some of that today, who knows.

a discussion with the body image monsters ...

Me: "Ha! I fit back into my wedding corset! I fit back into clothes I haven't worn in years!"

Body Image Monsters: "uh-huh. we'd like to point out that you haven't really been exercising, and you're about to start a desk job again."

Me: "Oh ... crap. No, no, no. I will exercise! I'll continue to eat in a healthy manner! I won't fall back into eating junk food when I'm stressed at work!"

Body Image Monsters: "suuuuuuuuure you will. we'd also like to point out that winter is fast approaching. winter holidays mean nummy nummy sugary treats. don't sell off all the clothes that are too big for you, just in case."

sigh

If I could rip those little voices out of my head and beat them to death, I would cheerfully do so.
