My Life is Much Like Frodo's.

[x_los]

So when you wash a wool and silk skirt: it shrinks: And when you do it repeatedly b/c dry cleaing in Iowa costs roughly the yearly GDP of Lichtenstein, it REALLY shrinks. Say to the extent that you could get it on over your boobs in the morning and then not be able to remove it in the afternoon despite a prolongued jumping up and down. And it's just possible that Ivy House lacks a good pair of readily findable sharp scissors.


I'm going to live out my days and die in this fucking H&M skirt.


That's not even a real designer! I'm going to die like a poor person! A fat Yank poor person! Cocooned in a death shroud of shrunken felted wool!

*sigh* I'm pretty sure there was a Blakes 7 episode like this.

*edit*

There totally was... either The Web, or Orac? Dammit, can't recall... It was all white goo or some bullshit a la Shelob. Damn you Terry Nation, for articulating my pain and thus making it all the sharper.

*edit 2*

Fuck, Heather would know.

*Edit 3*

HahahahahahahaHA! STEAK KNIFE! BITCH!

Erin>Skirt

*Edit 4*

It was The Web! YES! Maddest of props to Heather! Props so mad you're like damn, those some Bedlam-Props.

Is it possible to die from nerd?

Er, there are home-dry-cleaning bag things you can buy and then do dry-cleanerly things in your own dryer. I have them! They work fine! Granted, I use them like....three times a year because most of my clothes are not dry-cleanerly needed, but at least one of my favorite jackets is, so I know it does work. I do believe that using this exclusively would probably not be good for clothes for like a year, meaning they'd have to be actually dry cleaned once or twice, but for most needs, it'd probably be fine.

Hmmmm. Mystetries of Dryer...

I mean, you COULD wash crap by hand, but you've got so much crap. And...well, I don't wash crap by hand because I'm lazy. Yeah. Or laying flat, but that wouldn't take care of washer damage on some of the finer fabrics of the....wardrobe. I'm just going to shut up now.

1) wash it by hand gently with mild detergent and then lay it flat to dry. osnap.

2) a steak knife?

[x-los.livejournal.com]

Um. I had to get it off my body. Was trapped for ever. But along the line, so will machine sew back together and give it to my little sis or something. And When you don't have scissors and need to free yourself from Boa!Skirt, Steak Knife=sudden best friend.

In future will lay flat to dry...

I would've use something with a cleaner cutting edge, is all. But A++ on the innovative use of cutlery.

[x-los.livejournal.com]

Eh, my cutting edges were less than available. And thanks!

"I love skirts," you say. "They're so convenient," you say.

[meaning-full.livejournal.com]

Owned.

[x-los.livejournal.com]

Leased.

[meaning-full.livejournal.com]

Lased.

When you say "I love living on the beach," you mean "except for hurricanes," and unless you're from a hurricane-prone region, mostly it's a negligible risk.

[draegonhawke.livejournal.com]

Your ass is not a hurricane.

Neither your breasts nor your hips are a random occurrence :P.

heather DOES know, and she is here for you.

I read "My Life is Much Like Frodo's" and knew that much enjoyment and hilarity would be contained within. Erin, you do not disappoint.


The Web is correct. Fortunately, your skirt required only a steak knife and not being blackmailed for some fungicide that must be administered via laser.
Shelob is in Harvest of Kairos. Orac is the one with the EVIL LIZARD AMPHIBIANS that like to grope up on Servelan and her go-go boots of impregnable whiteness.

Crap, did I just jizz nerd all over your LJ? Whoopsie.

Augh! I THOUGHT it waas The Web. What was the wierd Marth Grahm interpretive dance one where characters were represented by like, veils-girl and Dark!Snakey!Avon? That. Was. Too. Trippy.

I'm glad old LOTR Shelob's still around for Harvest of Kairos. It warms my heart to hear she survived that whole Middle-Earth era like she apparently did. And made it out into space? Quoth Jurassic Park, Clever girl!

um. How are you for a 'lil old skool Blakesing some time?

"Sarcophagus" is the totally fucked up episode. I used to have an LJ icon about it... seems I do not have that one right now.


We need to watch "Sand" together. It's such a fic... "The sand trapped us in this abandoned laboratory together to create a breeding stock! Oh, Tarrant, TARRANT!" It's amazing.

You know... I couldn't have picked a better entry to go, "Oh hai guyz" - This is totally classic Erin, and I lurve it. ^_^

So, yes, I'll be in IA the last weekend of October (26th-27th). Uhm... do something, yes? Like, pass randomly on the street and go, "Leik, OMG!". I'm cool with whatever. I will have (supposedly) Friday night and Saturday night free, and will sneak out gladly.

Let me know.

Heh. Oh, let's do coffee. I can show you my Scarf Of MADNESS. You'll love it- full of madness.
