I'l just shut up now.

This is a terrible idea! The world needs more Aimee!

They have professionals for this, you know. How much is a manicure in your area?

Dude, are you trying to mess with what little girl bonding I do at krav? (Last week was me introducing them to the Nike real women ads, so this weekend could stand a little more femme)

Aimée's right about the fumes. I have to clean my own nails really quickly. As for me telling the chick "No, go to a manicurist." I can only wonder if "normal" women find them as intimidating as I did the first few times. And after the first few times I stopped going, because it just wasn't feeling less weird.

Manicures here are super-cheap and so I thought it was odd to ask someone else to do it, is all. ETA: yeah, I guess it's different here? It's like an assembly line, you're in, you're out.

Re Survivor, the jury still leads to possible 3-3-3 or 4-4-1. Some people have speculated there will be a way for people to kick votes off the jury.

Now that I've successfully removed the part of my brain that was under my arm for a moment, I realize that. Sorry, bon!

So what are people doing this weekend?

Getting some shopping done tonight, then cleaning the apartment and doing laundry and watching SciFi Friday. First thing in the morning, I'm driving about an hour away to get my dad's Xmas gift (a gift card for his favorite woodworking shop), then coming back to finish the things on my list before ChiKat comes over in the afternoon--yay! I get to show off my Christmas decorations and we get to do some shopping and hanging out.

Then, if I get a hold of my dad tonight and arrange it, I'll be seeing him on Sunday for Christmas present exchange and watching the Bears kick ass (I hope!). After that, I'll be wrapping my future BIL's present and mailing it and cards for him and sis on Monday morning.

I've never had a supercheap one myself. And I'm sufficiently traumatised that I'm happy to get three days worth of manicure right at home, by myself.

There's odd bonding at krav. There's the "we're really chicks!" bonding that some of us do, the "we're really perv!" bonding (the things that get said to the 17 year old boggle my mind, even though I say some of them), the "I love you/want your body!" bonding that carefully goes exactly nowhere.

Fucking weirdos.

Bohemian Rhapsody lip-synch link (lifted from LJ). All of a sudden the Navy is a day job and a home and a means of killing people to me. Not sure why it took Queen.

Rob Lowe and I had a moment like this once.

Not sure why it took Queen.

Expecially when it was the Village People who sang about being in the Navy.

(oops)

This Sunday is one of my nieces' birthday.

Saturday, I'll be buying a present for her, but it'll be hard to top last year's.

Okay, yes, I totally went browsing through Mr. Scola's photos, but honestly, does it get cuter than this?
