Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Oh, poor livejournal! (And also, rats! How the hell am I supposed to entertain myself? Read? ...oh. Yeah, I guess I could do that.)

If I only had a brain...
Will they give you a pedicure with no polish? Because I don't want polish.
Yup. You can just have your toes buffed.

Our data center (Internap) lost all its power, including redundant backup power. We're currently dealing with bringing our 100+ servers back online. Not fun. We're not happy about this. Sorry... :-/ More details later.
At one point, most of the local news orgs were down this afternoon. Bet they use Internap as a data center, too.

Oh, good. Because polish chips and peels and I can't touch it up, and anyhow, not going to wear it until post-baby.
But having them made pretty by non-polish methods is something I can get behind.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
what's an extraction?
They basically squeeze all the blackheads out. Painful, but for me, worth it.

Alibelle, pretty lady, where do you want to live/work? Do you want to stay in L.A.?
Plei! I'm sorry to hear your body is plotting against you. Is the baby still probably a girl? I haven't been keeping up in any of the threads, so I don't know any of the latest news. And pedicures are great. I love the hot water, and the foot massage, and the grooming. Good good fun. The polish is by far the least of it.
And I do want to stay in L.A., but I'm open to going to NY, if necessary. Do you have any ideas?
ETA:
P-C, you should work for the Department of Indian Transportation. That is an awesome story. You totally made me want to go see it.
Well, sort of. At least, in theory, and definitely more than anyone else has ever made me want to go see a scary driving place. I think it was the musical backing up details.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
what's an extraction?
Squeezing out the blackheads. They wrap their fingers in tissue and shine the world's brightest light on your face and just go nuts.
Sometimes lance zits and get the infection out.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I like extractions. I like the unplugged version on my pores. But I am a strong proponent of no pain in my life, so I am willing to trade off brow wax pain and extraction pain for never having to wax my legs or bikini area.
Or, you know, exercise: the most awful pain of all.
My university web site was down this afternoon, too. I wonder if it's related.
I'm supposed to go have drinks, but (a) I haven't showered, (b) I'm broke and (c) it's cold.
I don't think I'm going. I have a bottle of Prosecco left over from New's Year's in the fridge.
