I watched the blue wave cover it over and do what the ocean does best

[sovay]

Me, watching a movie on my computer: Oh, hey, I should make sure I still remember how to tie that four-in-hand knot choco_frosh showed me.

Me, wearing the tie that came with the knot lesson: Oh, hey, I should take reference photos for this secret project I haven't mentioned previously.

The shirt I put on this morning: YOU DO NOT MATCH YOUR OWN PATTERNS EVER AGAIN.



I feel I may have accidentally cosplayed something.

I suspect one of your own characters, somehow ^_^

Thank you!

[larryhammer]

I, for one, would willingly read/watch whatever that character is from. Even if it's a harem comedy.

ETA: I long for the days of single-stacked bookshelves ... (Lessee, I recognize Yeats and Omeros -- what else?)

Thank you! That's a thing?

The bookshelf over my right shoulder is poetry and plays, shading into biography at the bottom; the bookshelf over my left shoulder is biography shading into film criticism shading into general nonfiction. The pile off to my left, audience right is mostly classics, graphic novels, and my own contributor's copies, and needs to be properly shelved. There is a rather dramatic outcropping of Tanith Lee up top.

[larryhammer]

It is.

OMG you seriously look like you are going to a lecture on the Timaeus or punting on the Thames or something, it's great.

My father made them for us! We actually don't have room for the full set in this apartment; some of them are in storage. Someday.

You need a boater hat and you could cosplay every dude from Jeeves and Wooster on a summer day! No, wait, actually, you're going to go to Petra and find a lost library and you need one of those pith hats!

BERTIE, DO YOU KNOW HOW THE MALE NEWT PROPOSES?

No, wait, actually, you're going to go to Petra and find a lost library and you need one of those pith hats!

As it happens, I know at least two people I could borrow a boater from. The pith helmet might require a little research. (And look a bit colonial when I got it. Are straw fedoras a thing?)

*secret project secret project secret PROJECT*

I am looking forward.

[tree_and_leaf]

Panama?

[sovay]

Panama?

I wondered about that! Would it be gauche to take it to Petra?

[tree_and_leaf]

Oh, I don't think so! Fine hat for hot weather.

You can even get ones that you can roll up and pack in a tube, so that you can put them in your luggage without fear, although I believe those are eye-wateringly expensive.

(Icon chosen because I think it's the only one I have where anyone is wearing a hat, which seems like a glaring omission).

Yeah, I am afraid that anything that does not chase the adverb "eye-wateringly" with the adjective "cheap" is not an achievable life goal at present. But still something to think about.

I had a sun hat for years that I was very fond of. I wore it almost constantly in the summers. Probably for that reason, last summer it wore out.

(Icon chosen because I think it's the only one I have where anyone is wearing a hat, which seems like a glaring omission).

I've only got one, now that I think about it.

(i wish i were a newt)

I have always sympathized with that entire conversation.

[alexxkay]

Kestrell at least usee to have a pith helmet. I'm sure she would loan it to you.

[lemon_badgeress]

I have to say that your shirt makes excellent and valid points, however you still look amazing. I really am ridiculously enamoured of your nose.

Thank you. It does that all on its own.

Thaaaaat doesn't look as bad as it ought to. (Sorry, shirt!) And goodness, a tie certainly does suit you down to the ground.

All of this.
(Also, fwiw, roommate's philosophy, as laid out in a note on the fridge, is "FASHION TIP: WEAR AS MANY DIFFERENT PATTERNS AS POSSIBLE")

Three women in a boat, perhaps? :o)

I could think of worse ways to spend my next week.

I really like the photo. ^_^ (And the bookcases!)

[sovay]

I really like the photo.

Thank you!

(And the bookcases!)

I am very fond of our bookshelves. They were a wedding gift.

[coraline]

your patterns may not match but that's an excellent picture of you :)

My goddesses! You look as if you founded Newnham. That punt you're about to pole has Jane Harrison and Hope Mirrlees in it, with a picnic basket.

I know I've got a silly face, but I can't help that.

[ashlyme]

You should wear ties more often! Since everybody else has commented about punting, you look like the most dapper ferryperson ever!

I'll need more ties!

Aw. Thank you!
