On second thought, let’s not.
But, I do need to find some happy shit to talk about here, because this blog has become one depressing place over the past few months.
For Hallowe’en this year, I decided to wear a kilt to work. I found a company in California that sells relatively inexpensive kilts - and while I’m sure it’s a far cry from the “real thing”, it looks convincing enough.
The funny thing is, it’s REALLY comfortable. Once I get used to “swishing” out the bottom of my kilt before sitting down, that is.
Two hours at the climbing gym last night, and I finally did two climbs with overhangs that have been dogging me for two weeks now. They’re not particularly challenging climbs in the grand scheme of indoor climbing, but they sure had me challenged.
Tonight will be the four year anniversary of my beloved eMac. Other than an upgrade to OS X 10.4 and a bump from the stock 256 MB to 1 GB of RAM, it’s seen less maintenance than the lawn behind my house (for those who know me, that implies complete and utter neglect). I had abandoned Windows about a year before getting the eMac (I went to RedHat Fedora), but it was this little eMac that convinced me I could happily live in a non-Microsoft world. And I have, quite happily, thankyouverymuch.
Look forward to pictures of me in a skirt.

You remember the exact day you bought your computer? Well I guess it is Halloween so that might make it easier to remember.
Can’t wait for the kilt pictures. When you are done with it, can you send it to my husband? I would love to see him in it, lol.

Best place for kilts is Heritage of Scotland Kilts. Right from Edinburgh, cheap, and shipped for free worldwide. I have a “casual, ploviscous” kilt for the highland games.

The question is:
Did you wear this kilt in the traditional fashion?
Love,
