Dim Lighting

I'm wearing: Hot Topic t-shirt, thrifted skirt, F21 sweater tights, Old Navy cardigan, Wet Seal belt.

I'm slowly easing myself back into the outfit photo routine. I just didn't have it in me to wander outside for photos, though. I hope you'll forgive me! I need to bite the bullet and invest in a tripod. Before we all die of low-lit photo disease.

I am now going to watch something called Taintlight. Let's hope it's not actually Twilight porn...

As of Late

Please forgive me, internet! I've been a bad style blogger. I was going to take some outfit photos today, but it turns out my camera battery is dead. Oops? I ended up cuddling up on the couch and watching Merlin on the big ol' TV instead. Greg's out of town until Tuesday, so I can watch all the dorky shows I want! We hook up Greg's computer to the TV, and mine won't do it right, so that's how I watch shows -- through the computer. We don't have real TV. So with Greg gone, his computer and therefore the TV are all mine. *rubs hands together*

Anyway, here are some exciting pictures I found in my camera. Clearly I get really bored at work. That first picture is me wearing Greg's hat for him (he likes girls in baseball caps; I know, how did that happen? I hate wearing baseball caps), getting ready to watch me some hot quasi-medieval dudes banter in a slightly homoerotic manner (Merlin).



It's a good idea to take phone pictures while commuting during rush hour on a rainy day...


I get really bored at work.


For those who read my twitter, these are the boots that rule. You've seen them before, but I was just bored and admiring them. Derp. (I use my computer as a foot rest. It's not good for much more than that. 640 megs of RAM? Shoot me.)


I produce about one page like this of doodles per day. Like I said, really bored. (Yes those are Stargates.)

It's okay though, my job is slowly getting less painful, as I feel I'm adapting to the later shift. My boss said she'll keep an eye out for anybody who wants to switch shifts, though, so at least I might be able to get an earlier shift one day. As far as customer service, well... people in general are pretty Stupid, but the job itself is pretty okay. That's all I have to say about that.

Last but not least, if you want to ask me a question for my Q&A post, direct your questions to my comments, or my Formspring! I'll probably post the answers sometime next week, or this weekend if I get antsy. Also I encourage stupid and awkward questions! Bring 'em on!

Back From the Somewhat Dead

Here are some random photos from my awesome friend Ashleigh's bachelorette party this past weekend. Pretty much the only semi-flattering one of me, plus an awesome party hat pic, a tattoo, and an infinity pool!



The Four Seasons Hotel in Seattle is very nice. So, amazingly, was the weather on Saturday!


Yours truly, my dearest Rose, and the bride to be herself.


We were told to don the party hats.


Rose has the coolest tattoos. This one is of St Christopher, who protects her when she travels. Russian Orthodox style. So awesome!

Well the job is still exhausting me, and I am having an incredibly hard time getting dressed in the morning in anything that's not super cuddly and comfy. I'm not a morning person. I'm working on it, though! I'll be doing outfit posts regularly again as soon as I can accustom myself to getting up at 7:30am.

I was thinking I might do a Q&A post (bolded so you don't miss it when you're quickly scrolling past the text like I sometimes do), but it's really up to you all whether or not I do! If you have any questions for me, I don't care what they are, just post 'em in the comments or on my Formspring if you want to be anon for whatever reason. If I get some questions, I'll do a post answering them in the future. If not, whatevs, no big deal!

Also let me just say thank you guys a million for all of your input on my last post! So many awesome solutions. Unfortunately for me (but fortunately for my bank account), I ended up wearing a super old dress that I don't particularly like, but I didn't care overmuch because I ended up having tons of fun in downtown Seattle! I forgot how much fun it is to hang out with a big group of girls.

Well, time to read I Capture the Castle and then bed! I hope you guys have an awesome night. ♥

Baggy Eyeballs

This is me attempting to look somewhat alive after a long day of work. For some reason the 9:00 - 6:00 shift is really hard on me. I've always been better at working early and leaving early, but I suppose I'll get used to it. In the meantime I'll wear sunglasses to hide my horrendous under-eye bags. Eeeesh!






I'm wearing: H&M sweater dress, Wet Seal belt, Target tights and flats, Ralph Lauren sunglasses.

I had to run and pick up these tights on my lunch hour, because the air conditioning in our building is still on and I'm quite prone to cold. Who knows why I decided to go bare-legged today, but I did, and now I won't anymore. I was freezing all day! Thank goodness for a nearby Target. At any rate, at least I had this warm fuzzy dress to keep me somewhat cozy. I picked it up this spring at H&M, and I haven't quite been able to wear it yet. Finally the weather is agreeing with me!

So, my blogger friends, I'm having a minor dilemma. This weekend I'm going up to Seattle for a friend's bachelorette party. But woe is me, I have nothing to wear! I really don't. I'm pretty much devoid of any kind of party dresses that would fit a night of clubbing in Seattle. Do any of you think it would be super irresponsible of me to get a super cheap dress at like Forever21, even though I haven't received a full paycheck yet? Ack! I just don't know... I may have to sell some clothes at Buffalo Exchange to get the money for it. I'm super annoyed at the prospect of clubbing all night and having nothing to wear. We'll see what happens. Anyway, what would you chaps do in this situation?

Geek and Gamer Girls

No time or energy for a real post today, but I had to share this music video with you guys. It is my new theme song. Check it out!

Clothes from the Past

Oh my assbuckets, they removed the cool cement blocks that I used to utilize as my makeshift tripod for outfit shots! Nooooo....! My backdrop is still there, but now I have nowhere to put my camera. This is tragic. I felt like I really should update my blog after a long while of neglect though, so I used my friend's car as a tripod instead. These photos are super washed-out and weird... but at least they're better than nothing.







I'm wearing: F21 skirt (from absolute ages ago), Old Navy sweater, Target tights, Payless sneakers.

So most of this outfit (okay, just the skirt and sweater, but that's all there is) is from the bags of clothes my mom brought out here from Montana where I'd had it stored for over a year. I was going to get rid of this skirt because I figured it was far too small for me anymore, but turns out it fits again! Huzzah. This is actually the kind of outfit I wore every single day for a couple years in college -- plaid pleated skirt, sneakers, and a t-shirt or sweater. It was quite the uniform, but cute and functional, and it identified me as a geek so that was nice. However I always wore these beat-up old black Chuck Taylors, which I've since thrown out. These Keds rip-offs were picked up at Payless right before PAX, so I'd have some comfy shoes to stand in all day. Plus I needed some sneakers quite badly. Never part a geek girl with her sneakers, fashionista or not. They will be needed at some point.

So the reason I've been mostly absent from the blog lately, aside from PAX, is that my new job is super exhausting. I absolutely love it, but getting used to the 8-hour work day is quite an ordeal. Luckily I'm feeling a bit less bushed tonight, so hopefully I'm starting to get used to it. I've still been tweeting a lot though, so check out my twitter if you wanna see what random thoughts pop into my head throughout the day. My posts there are locked for the moment, but if you request to read them, I'll probably letcha.

Well well. I really need to get paid so I can pay my phone bill and think about buying a tripod, but not actually do it. Fie.

PAX Prime 2010!

I don't have an outfit for you, but I want to share some of my photos from PAX 2010! I had such an immensely fun weekend at PAX, thanks entirely to the amazing Greg, who paid for everything and is the best boyfriend in the entire history of boyfriends. ♥







Morning of Day 2. Suuuuper tired.


There were so many amazing cosplayers on Saturday!


I'm a Daeva now.


My people. Uncomfortably crammed together in a room, waiting to see geek celebrities play a live D&D campaign. One of the highlights of my weekend!


Hey blood elf, how you doin'?




Best ever: Pedobear!
