My blogroll is out of date--there are some blogs noticeably missing (Tummy!) and others that are defunct. Add in the fact that blogrolling is up and down and my blogs don't get the ~new~ indicator with any reliability, I'm thinking I should scrap it. So, before I go into the arduous task of adding links in html (assuming I even remember HOW to do so), who do you think I need to add? What links are obsolete? I know some folks have changed sites, but I'm not even sure what the addys are anymore.
This is my first step in becoming a regular blogging person again. I've been far too lazy using Facebook (if you have one and I'm not your friend, add me, dammit. If you don't have one, WHY NOT?) and myspace to catch up on people and rather deserted the blogs and message forums, but I realized this weekend that I miss the longer, more in depth stuff and, more importantly, miss knowing what's going on in my friends' lives.
Fall Break is halfway over and I've still got loads of things on my shitodo list, some of which won't get finished, but the blogging/reading thing? I can do that one...almost with my eyes closed.

Enough with the Serious!
The important issues: what do I really need to add to my clothing and shoe wardrobe for fall? The only purchases I've made thus far are cardis in navy and cream and a really long ameythst sweater tunic that is supposed to be a dress on a 20-something, but I plan to wear with a knee length black skirt and boots.
I'm thinking:
Boots--I have black, but I'm not wild about them. Brown is good, but not exactly sure how to wear them.
Heeled Mary Janes--should have gotten some last year, but I couldn't find any at a decent price. I need something closed-toe that is not too dressy.
Coat--I do not own a winter coat. I did snag a gorgeous black rain trench last May (it was in the lost and found at school and no one claimed it. London Fog, fully lined, classic shape w/ belt. LOVE!). I think I want a 'car coat', but no idea after that.
Black trousers--I only have a couple of pair right now. One is high-waisted/full leg that I adore, but may be a bit snug w/ a tucked in blouse right now (must.do.cardio.tomorrow!) and the other is just a regular ol' pair of black trousers in a lyrca/polyester/non-organic fabric. I love these because they are uber-forgiving and super comfy while not looking like I'm schlepping. Are there any 'must-have' styles this fall?
Trouser jeans--I finally found a pair at Sears of all places, but sadly, they are a wee bit snug. I do intend to be able to wear them by T-giving. I don't want to be a one-trick pony with them, though. Mine are a very dark blue--almost black in some light. Can I get away with a more denim shade?
Flowy blouses--I'm torn on these because I fear I look preggo. I wore a very sack-like dress to work last week--it's adorable: pucci-esque (only in the fact that it is multi-colored blocks not in the actual look of the print, but you get the idea) tunic that has no waist at all. It came with a tie belt, but the loops are low on my hips, so tying the belt made a very unfortunate silhouette. I think if I was about thirty pounds lighter I could wear the belt, but as for now--no belt I bought it at Primark in London on Oxford street--my mecca for cheap, trendy clothes. What the hell was I talking about? Oh yeah, blouses. The dress definitely pushed the maternity edge from some angles, so I'm not sure about the blouses. Is that a style one should avoid if not flat-chested? Or super size 4 thin?
Hats--I love hats. I have a hat haircut again. What style? I have a few newsboy style and a couple of what I can only classify as Fidel Castro style caps, but what else? Casual--not dressy. I don't dress up.
I'm off to haunt some blogs--I feel as if I've been away for a year. I have a lot of catching up to do!

*sigh*
Sarah Palin is as dumb as a box of rocks. There's just no.nice.way. to frame her. from suggesting that Putin is going to attack us via Alaska or that seeing Russia is adequate foreign policy education to not knowing a SINGLE Supreme Court case by name--let alone one that she disagrees with while railing against legislating from the bench--she is just to fucking stupid for words.
I have lost faith in our system. That she could even be CONSIDERED for president is just mind-numbing.
