Aux Reves: I Missed The Exit

No matter what, the forces of the universe conspire to make sure that my bagel has been touched by an onion bagel. At least once. There I am, enjoying my awesome blueberry bagel, when, BAM, onion bit. Onion + blueberry = death on a stick.

In other 'death on a stick' news, the book "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" properly translates into English as "The Men Who Hate Women," according to my mother. I am inclined to believe her, since my mother knows, well, everything. Seriously. Ask me a question and I'll have her answer it without using the internet. Want to know what invention holds patent 147,593? Because she can tell you. But the point of this comment is that no one in the US would have bought a book by that title. We just have too much pride in our whole equal rights movement. Also, the book is terribly written. How that minor little fact could be so overlooked by so many people is beyond me.

Summer is officially over. One last pool shot:

And I leave it alone. Not that I actually spent much time in the pool this summer. But it's the thought that counts.

Tricia Fix Black Floral Lace-Up Dress (Possibly Defunct Elle H Boutique)

I got this dress online and I'm not entirely sure what body-type they were envisioning when they made it, but I swear, the straps are made for a woman at least 7 feet tall. But when you twirl, the dress goes, ::whoooosh:: and that's all that I require. Smitten.
