randomness

So tonight I'm pondering
Plato's theory of forms,
what my real bra size is,
and what movies I should see that I havn't yet seen.

On the movie front, one that I should see is "Rebel Without a Cause." There are way too many movies that I haven't seen. One movie that I have not seen, and will never see, is Titanic. I know, I know, but I just can't. Well, I have seen the very end, but that was by accident and it won't happen again. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I also need to locate some Mary Pickford films to watch.

Anyone know of a place in the greater Sacramento area that does professional bra sizing? It would be nice to have a bra that fits...

Anyone out there have a copy of the pre-Socratics that I might borrow? I want to take another look at good-old triangle-loving, bean-hating Pythagoras. Gotta love anyone who specifies as one of the rules for his cult: Do not throw stones in fountains.

Oh, and I suddenly have the weekend free. I might actually get something done around here (shocking). Plus Garth Nix (author of Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen) will be in Petaluma on Sunday. I am so there.

Well, I'm tired and I fully plan to sleep in before I get up and take my car somewhere to get smoged (dunno where yet).

Have you seen Harold and Maude? I want a shirt with him blowing bubbles. It will have an orange background. A place that does bra fittings is that factory store outlet in vacaville. it's called
leggs.bali.someotherunderwearcompany.someotherunderwearcompany. the lady there is nice, although she seems suprised at people who DON'T want padded bras. I only have Plato, sorry.

I love Harold & Maude

Did you see Dogma?
Bud cort played the "Old man" in that movie.

Thanks for the bra heads-up.

I wonder if they are open on Sunday...

Oh really? I am *so* in love with him. Welcome. Probably.

Victoria's Secret also does pro bra sizing. I can tell you how to size yourself, though.


Wear your best-fitting, NON-PADDED bra, and stand relaxed (don't expand your chest by inhaling, measure on the exhale.)

Start by measuring your band size: put your tape measure snugly (but not tightly) around your rib cage just under the breasts. Add 5 inches to that measurement. That number is your band size.

Then for your cup size: measure around the fullest part of your bust, which is around your back and usually across the nipple line. Subtract your band measurement from that number. The difference gives you your cup size-- 1"=A, 2"=B, 3"=C, 4"=D, 5"=DD, 6"=DDD, 7"=F, 8"=FF, 9"=G, 10"=H, 11"=I


Hope that helps.

When you go to apply these rules to an actual bra, you'll be faced with the fact that bras only come in even sizes i.e. 32, 34, 36, etc., and some cup sizes aren't readily available in what SHOULD be your band size. You can often comfortably wear a bra the next band size up with the next smaller cup size. For example, I SHOULD be a 32 D, but I have a very hard time finding those. I tend to buy 34 C and wear them on the tightest row of hooks, and just can't keep 'em long, because once the elastic in the band gets stretched out at all they're useless. Different styles certainly fit differently, too, as EVERY woman knows, and I'm convinced that some manufacturers have vanity sizing... Whee!

Okay, the costume designer is turning measurement exposition mode off now... Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...

Was that random enough for you? :)

Thanks!

I'll give that a try.
