stroppy_baggage and I went to the Dead Can Dance show last night. It was AMAZING, and I feel incredibly lucky that I finally got to see them. I cannot wait for my cds of both Seattle shows to arrive.

Because we had a coupon for a free 'On Demand' movie from the cable company, we finally got around to watching Constantine this weekend. Y'know, if the main character hadn't been named John Constantine (thus getting rid of any tie to the comic series), it would have been a decent supernatural thriller. Tilda Swinton as Gabriel was oodles of fun.

After trying on a gazillion different jackets at different stores, I have to admit that the current crop of 'Victorian inspired' ones are not as good as I had hoped for. Or that I have somewhat different expectations on how those jackets should look & fit. (Okay, okay, I am *starting* to have different expectations, and they are entirely based off of stroppy_baggage's standards.) I am also starting to come to the realization that no matter how much I like the idea of little fitted jackets that are just above hip-length, ones that are below hip-length (and in a frock coat style) are much more flattering.

Er ... I may have some more clothing to sell. I don't know yet. I have to pull stuff from the Armoire of Velvet, try it on, and make stroppy_baggage give me his opinion. As always, alexiarnps gets first dibs on it (since we kinda-sorta have a communal closet), but I will post if I do have anything I'm selling. A word of warning: anything I might be selling this round will not be at yard sale prices, because the Armoire of Velvet is where the high-end, really-good-quality stuff hides. But, if it doesn't flatter me, I've got to learn to not hang on to it.

What else, what else ...? I'm sure there was something else I wanted to burble about ...
