Journal tuxette's Journal: the united colors of tuxette 12
I love wearing bright colors. Colors that do not go unnoticed, unless you're friggin' blind. For the most part, because I can. To those of you who come up to me and say with a snooty tone of voice "oh, wow, so colorful you are, I could never wear that color, I wouldn't dare" (or similar fake crap), it's because you friggin' can't. It looks great on me but would look crap against your scuzzy pasty skin and mousy hair. So there! Grrrrr. (Rant over.)
A very good thing happened today...boyfriend of tuxette and I found Strongbow cider in one of the shops today. tuxette is very very happy because of this. This is good dry cider (meaning the real stuff made from fermented apples, not apple flavored over-sugared syrup with some alcohol in it). But I still want to be able to buy cidre brut from Bretagne or Normandie in the shops or "wine monopoly" here...

Yeah, sort of (a little exaggeration never hurt anyone :-). For my PhD, I analyzed data from rocket experiments (probing the earth's middle atmosphere), and was involved in some further development of the payloads we were using. In my new job (see my first (yay! :-) journal entry) I will be doing more of the same thing, only combining the analyses with other ground-based instruments.

Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive

Reminds me: a former colleague in Hamburg was Indonesian*, and damn was she hotness incarnated (the one dumbass boss practically drooled over her all the time, much to her and my amusement -- she literally could use him like a cheap napkin). But damn if she didn't wear the craziest

Heh, kind of like the Chairman Mao greys. It just doesn't work for someone like me ;-)
I'm not too fond of the white chick in the sari look either, but it can get "worse." The most hilarious look is African men (I'm talking about real Africans, not this African-American crap) in Western business suits. It's just so...wrong...:-)

I am not suggesting that you have become arogant or imbalanced. From my perspective I could never know, being thousdands of miles apart and a stranger.
But it is human enough and I know I have at times ben argogant and full of unnecessary pride. And over silly things like how round my butt i
