insomniac thoughts

Money is weird. Like, the theory of it all. I go to work, and when I leave, they don't give me Wealth. They give me a piece of paper that says that their bank is going to transfer a balance to my bank. But the balance doesn't mean anything either... it's numbers on a sheet of paper, in a computer, nothing I can hold. Someone could theoretically just up and say that the computer says zero now, and there it all goes... But that's not weird, that's the thing, it's what we've all come to deal with as normal. We don't hold our wealth anymore, we don't have it tangible... We let our possessions be taken from us and spread around and used by others, and then we wonder why we don't ever feel in control of our lives...

Segue.

Hypothesis: the American (Western?) emphasis on breast size rather than hip size for attractiveness of a (female) mate is indicative that our society is no longer worried about perpetuating itself through breeding, but instead worried about feeding those that we've bred. In other words, it's an evolutionary response to overpopulation. Discuss.

I feel like I'm on the edge of an ephiphany tonight, rolling around bed in my insomnia, plagued with newfound knowledge of humanity's dark sides (thank you Uris)... It's probably just the ramen and ice cream I had for dinner.

harem pants need 60" width fabric

DAMMIT.

Note to self: While the pattern is true in saying that 45" width fabric makes a perfectly fine pair of harem pants, a person with a ghetty booty (like you) needs 60" width.

Argh. There goes an hour of time.

And no, there is not enough extra fabric to piece together panels down the sides.

day of sewing = Karshlima outfit

Well, it was a day of internet, laundry, dishes, making soup, and SEWING!!! Here's the result of the last bit:

The coin belt and my bra are the only things I didn't make. The top, skirt, and (hidden) harem pants are all my handiwork! Woot! (The pants are old ones I dug up after today's failed attempt.)

Interesting how after the harem pant incident, it turns out that the "medium" sized choli top is a little big on me. Oh well, no complaints! ;)

I'm pleased. Now I will let myself relax for the rest of the day. Erk, there's not much of that left, is there..?
