Talk about fugly...

Well, my shopping excursion crapped out on me. I was looking for a dress to wear to a friend's wedding, and I didn't find anything I liked. Most of the stuff I found had these crazy patterns all over them. That must be "in" now I guess, because I saw stuff like that everywhere I went. All these geometric patterns in loud bright colors. It reminded me of the type of fabric that used to be used to upholster sofas in the '70's. I have nothing against patterns, but I like subtle, understated ones. I don't want to go to someone's wedding looking like a crazy quilt. I have something I could wear that I look nice in and is still stylish, but I just wanted to try to find something fresh and new. I have a nice black dress that I've only worn once to my high school reunion. However, it's bad form to wear black to a wedding. So, while I didn't find anything for the wedding, I bought a new pair of strappy shoes to go with my other ensemble and some shirts at American Eagle and some work shirts at NY&C. I was going to try to get another pair of everyday jeans at The Gap, but I didn't see any there that caught my eye.

This morning I watched some of Batman Begins, which I realized has a lot of British actors in it. For example:

Christian Bale - Welsh
Michael Cain - English
Liam Neeson - Irish
Cillian Murphy - Irish
Gary Oldman - English
Tom Wilkinson - English

Not that I'm complaining, mind you. It was just something that occurred to me is all. And almost all of them (except for Michael Cain) are doing an American accent.

I did find and buy DN 10 even though I have yet to finish reading 7 (which I've put off for a certain reason). I'll finish it eventually and then move on to the others.

And I spent the better half of yesterday cleaning up my hard drive and deleting the files I moved onto my removable hard drive. Maybe I can go through some of the icon posts I saved and download some of them and switch out some of my icons...

I've decided not to go on hiatus. I'm just going to try not to be so anal and feel the need to post everyday. If I post every few days or so, I think I'll be fine, besides it'll give me a chance to build up stuff to post about. And I'll work on not being emo over people not commenting all the time. As long as you still read, I'll be fine.

Yeah, a lot of the new lines at NY&C that were coming in when I was still working there had a lot of those fugly patterns. There was one black and white pattern... I honestly don't know how someone could wear something like that and not feel like a cow. =/

Yeah, I saw some when I was in there today. I also saw a lot of brown as well. It must be the "in" color or something. I just don't get fashion a lot of the times...

Mmmm, Cillian Murphy.

I'm working on the emo part, too. Still processing but I should have a plan later. *hugs*

Mmmmmmmm, indeed. And Christian Bale is nothing to sneeze at either...

No rush dear. Some people take longer than others. I still love ya!
