Anyone in NY have any white coutil?

Argh, I’m so annoyed. I’ve been making weekly visits to Greenberg & Hammer for a month and a half and they don’t have any white coutil. Every week they’re like, “Next week,” but it hasn’t shown up. I really need a yard of it, maybe a bit less, and G&H doesn’t have it and Steinlauf doesn’t have it. Before I order from Farthingales, does anyone in NY either know of another store that has it or have some they want to sell off?

**SOB**

Augh. i suck!

I’ve always wanted the Dollheart Romance of Venice set, but for some reason I put it off even though I was crazy excited to see it again recently. But now it’s gone. Sorrow. (My poor guy who it was supposed to be for is *still* wearing the silly Volks kimono that doesn’t even remotely fit him, because it’s for a girl. I just didn’t have any other clothes for him.)

A question of serious intellectual importance

Why did no one tell me that Newton was drop-dead hot?

Everyone is getting houses but me!

All my coworkers are buying houses right now. One of them got one in Chicago and is moving shortly. The other is shopping in Long Island.

I can’t swing New York, of course, but Chicago is a much different market. And I could conceivably leave NY in December, if I could find a job. (Big “if”, I know. Anyone want to give me $50k to spend a year working on my novel? LOL.)

Like I kind of love this place:

I’m predictable. I love vintage, privilege aesthetic over practicality, and want to live by Clark & Belmont. (It’s right by the comic shop).

But there’s a lot of stuff in NY I’d not want to give up, like the fabric stores and the cocktails. (I didn’t mention theater, because I quite dig the Chicago theater scene. And I actually prefer Chicago dining. There isn’t as much uber high-end stuff as there is in NY, but I can’t afford that anyway. And there is a lot in the $12-15 entree range in Chicago that is epic, compared with NY.)

The weather sucks, though. It sucks a lot worse than NY.

Things I would like to know

I would really like to know why whenever I try to use Paypal, it sends me to Chinese Paypal. This has been going on for like a week!

Talking cats

Helo says he wants a puppy. Specifically, he wants a corgi.

Also, he wants my turkey sandwich. No, bad kitty!

Contact lens info:

So just FYI, here are some comparison shots between the various kinds of color lenses I’ve tried recently.


These are the 2-color blues from colorlens4less.com


The eye on the right is an Angel circle lens in Blue. The one on the left was a custom job from 9mmsfx.com

This is my real eye color:
