I already knew I probably needed a suit, but the Fashionable Academic explains why I also need a black leather blazer. We all do. Meanwhile, I “am” 6:49 A.M. I shall henceforth arise at that moment or its equivalent. Via Ancarett.
You’re the time of day right around sunrise, when the sky is still a pale bluish gray. The streets are empty, and the grass and leaves are a little bit sparkly with dew. You are the sound of a few chirpy birds outside the window. You are quiet, peaceful, and contemplative. If you move slowly, it’s not because you’re lazy – it’s because you know there’s no reason to rush. You move like a relaxed cat, pausing for deep stretches that make your muscles feel alive. You are long sips of tea or coffee (out of a mug that’s held with both hands) that slowly warm your insides just as the sun is brightening the sky.”

Ooh, cool site though. I have to not buy clothes this month because the prisoners and Stewart need money. But next month… 😉
