holliWelp, Delicious is borked. You can hear the fen howling with rage from space, I bet.
I went out to lunch with my grandmother yesterday, and afterwards we went to Anthropologie. Now I have a bunch of new clothes, which I feel vaguely guilty about. But she likes shopping, and frequently expresses dismay at my thrift-store tendencies, and was more than happy to buy me things, so I guess I shouldn't feel bad? But I can't really get past OMG TOO MUCH MONEY.
Also, as exciting as it is to have nice new clothes, I am equally excited about the 1950s dress I found at the thrift store for $4. Some enterprising seamstress between the original owner and me overdyed it dark gray and replaced the zipper. It is absolutely covered in pintucks and trimmed with tiny bows. I love it.
It's weird, but I can't really work myself up to being really excited about Doctor Who. Even "The God Complex," which I can see was objectively quite good, did not grab me by the heart the way last season did. Nothing this season has except for "The Doctor's Wife." It makes me sad, because I want to be enjoying Doctor Who as much as I did last year, but that fairy-tale atmosphere is gone, and with it apparently went my heart.
I have been flea-marketing again; it turns out you can fit 20 boxes of books in a Ford Taurus, so I've just been going by myself. Which is good, as the amounts of money I am making are acceptable for one person, but not really for two. Hopefully business will pick up as the holidays approach; everyone tells me that's what happens. I sort of miss having a flea market buddy, though.
Okay, sanity check: say I had an idea. This idea might, theoretically, be that it would be awesome to have a fanwork track at Dragoncon-- one devoted to fanfic, fanart, vids, and podfic. If I had this idea, how would I go about finding people to help me execute it? Or should I tuck the idea away in a drawer, and not drive myself crazy trying to make something that big happen?
