I have A LOT of Japanese clothes. Seriously. I’m photographing everything with my new camera (!) and I’ve gotten all the underwear and kimono done, but now I’m doing jackets and then I have to do obi and accessories. I have A LOT. It doesn’t help that I keep getting distracted. ---

I need a new computer and I don’t have the money. ☹ I just re-read _The Silly Side of Sherlock Holmes_ by Philip Ardagh. It’s just as hilarious as I remember. I may light up some incense in a minute and meditate. ---

Didn’t get the quilt finished, socialised instead. I’m having my third, large, glass of my dad’s home brewed ginger wine. It is very nice. ---

What’s the difference between Japanese underwear, and USA underwear? ---

I didn’t eat either a) fast food or b) anything fried for six weeks. I ate Wendy’s chicken nuggets yesterday. Then Mr. Tea brought home Chik Fil A today for lunch. Two days in a row - fried fast food chicken. I am weak. Now I must DDR like crazy to make up for it, and to stop feeling greasy and slightly violated. ---

I was at VA Renaissance Faire yesterday. One of the acts was a Gypsy woman who taught volunteer women a “Gypsy love spell dance.” Then she sold the volunteers off to the highest bidder (largely, I suspect, due to VA Ren Faire being too small to be able to pay any of the performers, and this was a much more entertaining way for her to raise gas money than simply begging for it). Pity that the two shows I saw, the only one I would’ve been interested in was the Gypsy woman herself, and I respect the classic rule “Don’t bid on the auctioneer until one of the organizers starts hawking them.” Okay, that’s decidedly NOT mundane, that’s Faire Folk. But it’s probably very pointless. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/completely-mundane-utterly-pointless/450291.md?page=2)
