So.

What are you wearing?
What are you reading?

I'm wearing my fake-Doc oxfords, black socks, jeans, a Witchy Pirate Princess Shadesong shirt, and my hair down. Yeah. My hair is actually *not* tied back today, I'm just wearing a headband.

I'm reading Pat Cadigan's "Dervish is Digital" at work and Isobelle Carmody's "Obernewtyn" at home.

You?

Wearing: Black boots, mismatched-but-both-grey socks, blue jeans, Sisters of Mercy "Exxile on Euphoria" tshirt, bronze Torshammer, wedding and engagement rings.

Reading: Just finished "Miss Wyoming", by Doug Coupland, just starting "Writers on Comics Scriptwriting", edited by Mark Salisbury. (I'll get Neil Gaiman's chapter signed by him this evening; he's doing a signing in town.) Also reading "Bardic Voices: The Lark and the Wren", by Mercedes Lackey, from the Baen Free Library, in fits and starts when I remember to look for it.

[mfree.livejournal.com]

I'm wearing a green work shirt, with the sleeves rolled up, khakis, and my "100,000 mile" loafers with black socks.

Reading? Well, I'm about to pick back up on the book about Nixon when I get home, but right now it's LJ and TeamSR.org, CNN, Knoxnews.com, etc...

[eudaimonia.livejournal.com]

Hee, Jammies. :-)

(kids just left for school, I'm being lazy)

[eudaimonia.livejournal.com]

Oops, forgot the reading bit: Pasquale's Angel" by Paul J. McAuley. It's sort of an alternate history Renaissance Steam Punk murder mystery sort of thing.

[isis.livejournal.com]

Blue jeans, with big pockets at each knee. My worn out, six year old sandals (that stink, ask Tarpo...) that I just can't seem to throw out. Old, holey underwear (gray). My clear, plastic belt that has metal holes all along it. Pinkish-purplish tee-shirt, with a weird collar. Dark gray bra. My Timex watch. My black rimmed plastic glasses. And my hair, blond, is not yet brushed.

[sterlingnorth.livejournal.com]

I'm never awake before 10, so I'm wearing blue PJ bottoms and a black tee-shirt with Taz on the front.

Good morning...

[avivasedai.livejournal.com]

Wearing: jeans overall type dress, black mock-neck vest from Chico's (I love Chico's stuff), sandals that I take off as often as possibl. Hair back, funky dangly earrings.

Reading: Catching up on the websites (neilgaiman.com, wilwheaton.net, theonion.com, Jake the Rake) while at work, possibly reading more of the Line War (been rereading Rhi's stuff for a week or two). At home: Philip K. Dick, Raymond Feist (Riftwar saga), thinking about rereading books 3 & 4 of Harry Potter. Yesterday, I read a book I've read before instead of preparing for class today or doing anything else constructive. }B-)

[voltbang.livejournal.com]

I'm wearing,

Black combat boots
Blue jeans
Leatherman
Black belt with celtic knotwork buckle
boxers, Joe with different shades of blue circles on them
a nice light grey short sleeved shirt
a light blue patterened buttond down short sleeve shirt, unbuttoned my heavy silver round weave necklace
watch, chrome with blue face
3 silver rings with various knot patterns
1 white gold wedding ring
glasses

and stuff

I'm reading High Fidelity, very close to the movie. I can see though how the movie changes made sense. London would have been less accessable to american audiences. Ian's (aka Ray) phone call was much better as a visit to the record store. The skaters and their band made the aprty at the end flow better. In the book it's just coming up now and it's more jarring this way. In the movie the progression makes more sense.

Next book, "The Naked God" which I think is approacheing the end of the train wreck that started back with the Reality Dysfunction. I don't mean that in a bad way, it's just that I can't look away. It started not so great but I hung in there and it became compelling, after a while. I also have like three D&D books I need to consume.

Reading: commuting is Sister Noon by Karen Joy Fowler, home is still the Celtic Seers' Sourcebook, since whenever I end up with proofreading jobs, the home reading goes by the wayside. (Proofreading Pharaoh Fantastic).

[eudaimonia.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't that be "Pharoah Phantastic"? ;-)
(I know, let's Sindarfy everything today!)

[branwynelf.livejournal.com]

You really are trying to make my Monday as horrid as possible, aren't you?

Re:

What, you don't want to trip down thee Gothick Faerie Grove? Just in case you're missing him, here's his website:

What a hunk.

[branwynelf.livejournal.com]

Question is, a hunk of *what*?

[piratejenny.livejournal.com]

Noooooooooooooooooo! I just reread Adam's MST3K of it last night--my brain still hurts. Sindar bad.

Re:

[eudaimonia.livejournal.com]

Sindar Fun!

Currently, he is working on his second novel, tentatively named
* R a g d o l l s and D a r k f a e*.

Woohoo!

[piratejenny.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. Ari, I think you need to have the kids home from school. This just isn't nice. :-p

[nukewolf.livejournal.com]

Wearing: Steel-toed boots, jeans, t-shirt from a local advertising company, all under a cleanroom suit since I'm at work.

Reading: Books? Who's got time to read?!

[kdborg.livejournal.com]

Well, all I can say is that I'm glad I changed my routine this morning! Usually step out of the shower and head for LJ... hehe

I'm wearing navy blue shorts and a white t-shirt.

I'm currently reading a bunch of Dilbert comic strip books.

I'm on vacation! I can get up whenever I want and read whatever I want! :P

[iroshi.livejournal.com]

Wearing: I was running late this morning, and I need to do laundry, so nothing interesting.
Black cotton pants, pumpkin short-sleeve knit shirt, simple black pumps
Plain undies: beige sports bra, black cotton panties

Jewelry: ever-present silver wedding ring, moonstone stud earrings, pentacle necklace, and amber sun belly chain

Reading: Rules of Engagement, by Elizabeth Moon; Komarr, by Lois McMaster Bujold, Highlander fanfic by Listen-r that enju was pimping to me last night. (It's fair return; she downloaded gryphonrhi's fic, so I'm willing to read HER favourite OFC, if she reads mine. :)

[gallowglass.livejournal.com]

I'm wearing brown boots, red socks, black track-suit trousers, blue-grey polo shirt and the usual support bandage on my writing hand.

I've just finished reading Box Office Poison by Alex Robinson but have no new read in prospect until the end of the week apart from Alexander the Great related books for my dissertation section deadline. Unfortunately this does not include The House of Death by Paul Doherty. While it is Alexander-related, it's too much a fictional murder mystery to sneak in under the wire.

On the other hand, Friday is my long-awaited, oft-delayed pilgrimage to Hay-on-Wye, so I should have even more unread books to add to my shelves after that.

[ariadnesthread.livejournal.com]

Wearing a bright coral T-shirt, navy blue long georgette skirt with coral roses (w/ line green leaves), black patent Birkenstocks, cheapie Claire's black plastic headband, silver necklace with iolite and moonstone drops and a silver crescent moon in the middle, pretty pale blue Swatch w/blue fabric band that has iridescent daisies on it, and my work badge (which is on a braided black satin cord that has a little US flag pin pinned to it). Oh, and nondescript beige underwear.

Reading: Just started Sir Apropos of Nothing last night (yay, paperback!). Also bought Lisa Goldstein's new novel (grr, hardback sucked me in at B&N. I was only there for 1 magazine and a book for Mom. I'd been so good--hadn't been there in at least a month. Bought 4 magazines, 2 books for me, and Mom's book). Also reading Tim Moore's The Grand Tour, about touring Europe in a rattletrap Rolls Royce while wearing a lilac velvet suit. Oh, and also just got The Bad Girl's Guide to the Party Life.

Shade, do I have to be Naked?

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

You don't have to be naked. It's just more fun to be.

Re:

[skylion.livejournal.com]

Well we have a guest in the computer room now. So I'll just pretend I'm naked. Later when I take a shower, I'll thing of being on LJ, if that helps.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Okay! :)

[tanaise.livejournal.com]

I'm all boring today. I'm in khakis and a blue v-neck t-shirt, and I'm wearing my new black slides so they'll be a little broken-in by this weekend and the wedding. meep. Reading? Well, at work, just the usual--LJ, boingboing.net, the scattering of journals I follow that aren't on LJ, most significantly www.bigtrendy.com, etc. ad nauseum. At home? I think I finished everything I'm in the middle of, so it's just a matter of picking something new: Honeymoon, Revenge of the Cootie Girls, The Instance of the Fingerpost, the rest of the to read stack, or something that needs re-read.

[wolvy]

I'm wearing a bunch of smelly clothes - just went for my walk. Soon to be nekkid (temporarily) ~ then who knows after that. :)

Currently re-reading When Your Phone Doesn't Ring, It'll Be Me by Cynthia Heimel, and All Families Are Psychotic by Douglas Coupland.

Not reading anything closely.. It would be Good Omens by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman if my brother hadn't taken it.. I guess the Timeout Movie Guide would could since its the most recent thing though

[kyobu.livejournal.com]

I'm wearing a Real Ultimate Power! (http://www.realultimatepower.net) t-shirt, very comfy grey slacks from the Gap and Simple shoes that happen to be blue and gold, my school colors.

I'm reading Dickens's Our Mutual Friend, but it was in the wrong room last night when I went to bed, so I read some book that was on my desk called How to Order and Eat in Chinese. Also, I'm halfway through the New Yorker food issue.

Wearing today was these blinding neon red plaid pants that went with the hair. :o) And some respectable enough for work kind of shirt that I can't even remember, along with the Boots Which Make Me Tall, and a clip to keep the redness out of my face.

I've run out of books to read, and it's driving me batty. The last one was the second installation of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time.
