Thank you for the link! I have a newly discovered interest in tailoring, thanks to that tailor's blog!

Yeah, I can't remember how I came across that blog a few weeks ago, but after reading it I suddenly wanted to drop $4000 on a suit.

Is that how much he charges? Wow.

I'm glad! You're quite welcome!

It is such a good thing that I abhorr suits. This could get expensive.

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Seriously.

I like both

I wonder how 'no strings attached' went from meaning 'without imperfection' to meaning 'without asking anything unexpected from you', because that's how I've seen it used. That's a very cool factoid, by the way; thanks for posting it.

Bryant from the Lemming Migrations?
"You're not Sean. . .", Bryant?

He's still alive and somplace I can now get ahold of him?

That's the one.

He's certainly still alive and posting. :)
