I love to watch the legs of girls who wear ankle-length dresses. Now, before you get the wrong idea (I look other places for that), it’s because the length of their stride is necessarily curtailed by the width of the bottom of their dress, and it’s amusing to see their strides hampered by it. I know, I’m cruel, but so is fashion.
I’ll post about my weekend once I get a chance to upload my pictures. :) Alas, I did not pull out my digital camera during the deluge. It sucks, but it’s mine.
Edit: My boss has basically alerted me that, due to a conflict between the european articles in quark, fonts, and old versions of IE used by our executives at home, I will now have to look for every apostrophe and quotation mark in every article by Automotive News Europe (in the future) and convert them. The tool in homesite doesn’t cut it. Slashing my wrists would be a more efficient alternative.
I think I should end every defaulticon journal entry with a new way of interpreting it, such as,
And as it would happen I’m wearing an ankle length skirt today. I still move as fast, I just have to take more steps to get there. Or hike my skirt up a bit!
Which is no bad thing!

I also achieved schadenfreude when that “hippity-hop” style came out years ago of the exceedingly-long crotch space in pants; y’know, the ones whose inseams start just above the knee.
I always thought that the cops fostered the fashion because it made gang-wannabees easier to catch. Can’t flee the law doing the penguin shuffle, can we…?

that’s why the goddess of fashion invented slits ;)
*looks down at the excessively long skirt she’s wearing today*
I thought that was to give us something to stare at.
well that’s an added bonus ;)
That’s exactly what I was going to say. ;)
Apparently the goddess of fasion does not shine equally upon all women, then, because the dress I saw that made me comment had no slit.
I think it’s more variation in willingness to suffer for fashion, a trait that is high in many women but very low in me.
great minds, et al ;)
btw – love your icon!
Why thank you :)
Can you copy/paste the text in notpad and do a find/replace?
I will be doing a search and replace, the problem is either A) I have to copy all of the text from all of the stories and do a big search-replace for each of them or B) I have to do the search-replace every single time for each story. I have to use homesite, more or less, and if it has a macro feature, I haven’t discovered it. Bleh.
do you have access to the server itself? i assume that homesite stores its content in a SQL database, you could export the raw data, update it in your favorite editor, then reload back into the database
Alas, it is not as cool as that. The european pub sends me their data in QUARK files. I’d really like to know what system they actually use instead of Open Pages, all I know is that it is mac-based. Anyway, they send me Quark, I copy and paste the quark into homesite where I correct them and then paste the result into our content management system. This happens on a bi-weekly basis, since that’s how often the publication prints.
