Happy Birthday, isiscolo! I hope you're enjoying this gorgeous weather doing something fun!

Everyone go see "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow". NOW! It is a terrific homage to every fantasy/scifi movie made in black and white or early color. Jude Law is... Um, can I have him for Christmas? I mean, really, can I? Angelina Jolie is also great, but I wish she'd been on screen a bit more. Giovanni Rabisi is the real hero - the science nerd who makes things happen. And Gwyneth Paltrow isn't as annoying as she usually is! The story is very 1930's/40's complete with intentional plot holes, and the whole tone is just... lovely. Except for the parts with scary robots. Which were just... cool. Go see it!

I am proud to announce that I bought a pair of size 8 pants today. I'm not sure I love them, but I was peer pressured into getting them :P I think they are just too hip for me, plus I need the adorable high heeled pumps I was trying on for fun to wear with them, and we all know how practical adorable high heeled pumps are. I also tried on a Betsy Johnson frou frou dress at Neiman Marcus on a dare and loffed it! It was a retro, bright pink, ruffled 50's style cocktail dress and wow... I felt the loff. And then I saw the price tag and sadly put it back on the rack.

So. Now I want cute shoes. And more size 8 things. Or size 10 - that's more where I think I am right now. But wheeeee! After being a size 14 for so long, this is pretty damn cool. Except for the part where none of my winter clothes are going to fit. Drat. Stoopid budget.

Wheeeeee! I was a size 12-14 until about two years ago and now am a size 8-10 as well. But yeah, still have clothes that are too big because I couldn't afford to replace everything.

Still feels good though, doesn't it? :)

And OH I wanna see that movie.

Oh, you have to go see it. You really do. You will love it.

Yes, it feels incredible! I haven't been this size since about 2000, so yay!

Thanks! I had a great birthday while the weather was nice, and today it's pouring rain here so I have an excuse to goof around on the computer :-)

You are evil! You are hip! You are cool! You deserve those pants, dammit! Thou shalt not frump!

But... but... they are so bell bottomed! I feel like they are my clown pants from my high school job! I like the low rise, but I think I prefer a little less fabric at the ankle. I might trade them for a different pair there.
