Socks

Socks they cover our feet to make them warm and cozy. They also help to ensure our skin is safe from our shoes. But do we ever really think about how fashionable they can be.  Pesonally I love waring funky socks, they may not be seen by everyone but some may get a glimpse of orange and purple and wonder wow what was that. Sad to say that cool socks are hard to come by. Well they were until Sock Dreams decided to fix that issue. From Angora to Victoriana and from Half Socks to Thigh Highs they have us covered.

Now excuse me but I must do some shopping.

New Orleans

If one wants some down home blues and jazz there is no better place like New Orleans. Not talking about Mardi Gras Orleans. Talking about the laid back day to day New Orleans. Where the food is spicy, the reality slow and the sounds are sweet.

As usual the best place to stay would be at a bed & breakfast may be something in the French Quarter close to , BOURBON St but far enough away to disappear in the sounds of an over grown garden.  Once done head on out to soak up some Louisiana sounds and meet some gifted people that can not be found anywhere else

Think it may be time to book a trip and enjoy some beignets and café au lait the right way.

Suspension

Is it a suspension of disbelief or personal mental getaway. We do it when we go to the theater,a movie, read a book and play a video game.

For the past week I have been a female Alienage Elf rouge. There is a back story, there is always a back story. The main point is slicing up baddies with some bad ass dual wielding sward and dagger skills. Traveling to exotic places with no need for a passport. Hanging out with some cool creatures that stick by through thick and thin. Romanced a bastard prince and got kinky with a smart ass assassin. Solved puzzles for complete strangers and recived gold or weapons as a reword. Killed the dragon and loads of evil darkspawn in order to save the realm. Talk about some suspension of reality.

Next week I just may become a prince and roll up objects or become a deadly thief and live in the shadows.

Who said you can't pretend to be someone else for a bit.
