I must say that I am glad that, if taking female form was necessary, it was done here, in a place where forgoing the whalebone is socially acceptable; I find my figure still requires none, and my brief experience with such garments has indicated that I'd not like to try to lounge about all day while within its embracing confines. The corset has its effects upon the posture which may indeed be both fetching in appearance and improving to the spine, yet I care not for it, as the fellow in the story once said. A Psmith must be free to arrange himself as he sees fit; or herself, as the case may be.

I have also an anecdote to share, which I am sure will be passed around the clubs by morning; Psmith has made an ass of himself; Psmith is not ashamed to admit it. I had rather more hair than this photograph indicates when I found myself; and I recall faintly, from the days of my young boyhood, having watched certain young ladies to whom I was related putting a "frizz" in their hair, as being Very Becoming. I desired, at that time, to have a "frizz" myself, yet I was denied, for I was but a boy, and thus evidently undeserving of a Very Becoming appearance. With this memory haunting the back of my mind, and not nearly enough pomade to handle slicking back this sort of quantity of les cheveux brillants, I attempted to give myself the "frizz" of which I had stood so long deprived, using an implement I found in the washroom. The eventual results are visible in small above this text. Did you know you can actually burn right through a bit of hair with one of those little round irons? It is a fact. It was not a part of my hypothesis at the outset, and yet the results of my experiment confirm it to be true.

Dorothy, the faint odour of the inferno which still lingers in the room may be thus explained, although it could equally well be something Toto did if it's particularly strong despite my airing-out. My best advice is to simply open a window and think sympathetically of Dante.

They can say "enjoy your stay" in that letter as often as they like and it doesn't help any. There's nothing enjoyable about sitting around with the feeling that there are Important Things To Do which you are Forgetting (or Being Prevented From Doing) hanging over your head. I hate to complain when there's nothing to be done about it, and I know I'm not the only one who feels the same, but it is irritating, isn't it?

Other than that sort of thing, is everyone doing reasonably well?

And finally - being a Lannister is unfashionable these days so the credit for having shown me this goes to the Brad who shall not be named, but anyway here is a picture of a kitten with tiny little legs and nonsense ears )

Collective workers, former workers, wearers of collars both white and blue, members of the lower classes of all times and places and meanings, both proletariat and bourgeoisie, in short, all of us who remain uncrowned by birth and unhallowed by genealogy, UNITE!

We shall gather in the field and discuss our lives, our work, the meaning of our toil. We shall gaze over the garden wall upon the idylls of these idle monarchs, and debate the wastefulness of maintaining an hereditary governing system in the modern era. We shall institute a Parliament and a Guillotine, and I will bring enough red hats for everyone to wear, but you'll have to find your own pitchforks.

I think the girl that lives next to me is an alcoholic. How does one stage an intervention?
