You would be forgiven for thinking I am not slogging my way through the marketing textbook to end all bigoted tirades of out-dated bullshit, but instead playing on the internet. You would be forgiven AND you would be entirely right. I was all set to package that hellbeast up when I discovered I've still got three more sections to get through. It's the giant piece of crap that keeps on giving.
Instead of finishing it up as quickly as possible and shipping it off for the poor in-house saps to drag it through the rest of the publishing process, I have temporarily quit.
In the last hour, I've read twelve days' worth of Go Fug Yourself, drooled over Old Maiden Aunt and Fyberspates and wondered whether or not I should help Matthew pack for his upcoming tour (which begins tonight!).
I've also flipped through the new issue of Interweave Knits on Ravelry and decided I really don't like one of their new models. I think it's her posture; she has terrible posture. You can't slouch in carefully tailored knitwear, at least not if you want it to look like the back isn't so narrow that squishing your shoulders together is the only way to get it to fit. Pretty face + lousy posture = someone who reads the magazine, not someone who's in the magazine. She's been in the last few issues and everything she's modelled is bleugh, pfft and meh -- which is a shame, because she really is a pretty woman and the garments she's modelled have proven lovely on other people. Am I being fugsidually crankipants or is this justified? If you can guess which I'm talking about, let me know.
In any case, The Woe Betides are embarking on their Natwest Towers tour today, kicking things off with a shindig at the Monarch in Camden. If you can come, come! If you can make one of the other gigs, go! It would be sublime and delightful if you did. Ooooh, and then told them after the show that you heard about the tour here, that would be awesome!
It's totally the girl in the Syrup Pullover, isn't it? She's always making the same face, too. Poor girl - you're right, she's definitely pretty, but her posture is bad bad bad. Not as bad as the girl from the Twist Collective, though.
The unfortunately-named Syrup Pullover, on the other hand, is all cute until your eye travels to the huge puffs in the sleeves. Puffs, I might add, that are in places even Anne of Green Gables would not have approved of. Is she storing syrup in there? As Davy said, "I want to know!"

go fug yourself is one of my favorite time wasters on the internet. hands down. although apartment therapy is climbing the charts. (i don't count blogging and ravelry as time wasters...)
