Still sick. STILL SICK. Damn it. I would take a day off and stay home, but I don't think it would make a lick of difference.

Monterey has returned to its most summery weather - it's about 60 degrees with intermittent drizzle. (Yes, summer in Monterey is like fall in many other cities. September and October, on the other hand, are mostly mid-70s and sunny. Except for today.) Fortunately, the sun should return tomorrow.

Funny - my wardrobe from Boston would be totally appropriate for this city (although possibly not the parka), and my wardrobe from LA just doesn't work. Most of the year here is like winter in LA, between 45 and 50 at night and 55 and 65 during the day. And, weirdly, there's even less seasonal variation than there was in LA.

We're coming up on the end of Catalog Watch month here at the ol' Livejournal de rednikki. I'm still seeing new catalogs!

1. Jessica London (clothes allegedly for girls my size, but every model looks the same as the Newport News models, i.e. not even close to my size - and I'm at the very bottom of the size range for this catalog! mycranium1 looked at a rear view of one model in jeans and said, "That's like Harry Dean Stanton!")
2. Viva Terra
3. Crate and Barrel
4. Peruvian Connection (I am not clear when a velvet riding jacket or silk skirt MADE IN INDIA got deemed Peruvian fashion, but whatever; I guess that's why they get to charge $400 for the skirt...)
