When we talk about fashion, I dream of you. [Kind of, and more inside]
The first mecha dream I can remember, some fragments before and some after, what follows is mostly the mecha-related parts

This morning, I dreamt that I was on some kind of trip for work to L.A. Except that my trip to work involved going to some kind of fashion fair. While I was wandering through the booths someone MEFI-looking stopped me and commented on my t-shirt (asking me where I got it, etc.). I started talking about how I got it from Specklet's pal SQUAREWOLF who's based in Portland. While I was yammering about the Savant Tarde design, my interviewers gave me odd looks. I looked down at the shirt and it was totally a different design. It was a Threadless robot-type shirt, but the tag said it was designed for NIKE (omg, a NIKE shirt at an indie/DIY-fashion bazaar -- blasphemy) by an Italian artist who's name I can't remember.

Jumpcut: With my workmates, and we drove up this gigantic hillside into the "country" to an old house where we were all staying -- hosted, I'm pretty sure, by Scody who was somehow involved in the t-shirt fashion thing, and according to one of my workmates was hording vast quantities of illegal substances. That is all!

Now I must go shopping at the Farmer's market.

Gigantic hillside, eh? Now think! Think back... did you see anything pink on that hillside?

Please disregard erroneous "and" and any other hasty saturday morning need-to-run type errors.

Good morning, taz. A bunny perhaps?

No, though we did pass a woman walking up the hillside and she was SHOUTING something as we passed her!

The farmers await, really!

Well, morning for me, but hello anyway.

Hello! Afternoon here... nearly evening.

Shouting, eh? So this fashion you speak of could be called... "SHOUTING threads"?

Regarding this MeFi-looking someone, I assume you say MeFi-looking because that person was wearing squarish, plastic-framed eyeglasses? (also, assuming the person was a male - I don't think the female MeFis receive the standard issue glasses upon joining)

speak for yourself. I ain't no four-eyes!

I have the glasses. But I've had the same kind since I was in college.

taz: Afternoon on it's way to evening....I thought I ought to correct myself on the morning/afternoon time! Must be evening for sure now. Could be SHOUTING indeed.

The MEFI-looking someone did have glasses. I think it was someone DaShiv shot recently at a Holiday event: composit of Kenko and was it ooga_booga? Sort of mefi-looking in that direction, which I realize is multiple.

The farmers all say hello, btw. Now I'm off to bother the librarians!

Oh, I absolutely hate it when I it's when I should its. I'm casual about many of my mistakes, but that one really chaps my hide....or something.

Spelling errors for instance are ok.

I think we should add "bothering the librarians" to our list of euphemisms.

i'll buy him a pocketfisherman if he does.
