I got my Zappos order, with some great shoes, yay!
Perkins--that bag I ordered? Is very pink, and also way too large for me. So I'm going to send it back. It is, I should note, rather pink.
Tell me more good stuff about me.

ita, the E600 that msbelle linked to is usually available at Michael's. I think that Bourget Bros. in Santa Monica carries it too, but I dunno if they have a retail store any more (it's been a long time since I could do any beadwork).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have never heard of them. Will google. Okay, they are no more. Sad for a store I never knew...
Looks like there's a Michaels in Santa Monica. Score!
And now to nap.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I have been on the lookout for a scrubber with a long handle and haven't seen one. Alas.
You could use a toilet scrubber that you just NEVER EVER NEVERNONEVEREVERNEVERNEVERNEVER stick in the toilet.

Hivemind query: do you know what the word "comparanda" means? Do you find it odd? I got a phone call from a colleague asking me what it meant after I used it in a document, and I'm wondering which of us is out of step.
Unrelatedly, is it FAIR that we should be interviewing 10 candidates for 2 internships next week? Like I don't have anything to do with my time!

Never heard it before, not quite sure what it would mean. I first assumed it was spanish.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Comparanda I would guess at on the similar example of corrigenda: items to compare. (Corrigenda are items to correct.)
Latin, baby!
The number of people who don't even understand when I say "indices" instead of "indexes" is kind of freaky to me. I didn't even take Latin as a language; you just pick this stuff up when you work with books. Or, some people do. I had to explain what recto and verso mean the other day.

I have no idea what comparanda are, but I may have been able to noodle it out by context. I, too thought it was Spanish.
