Rick Fox is insanely pretty

yeah, but he's a big ball of bitch. He used to fall down on the court a lot and wait for the ref to call a foul (fuck the tarheels!)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yes, Keith hamilton Cobb. Very charming and fun. Also? Stunning.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Goddammit. I turned on a Sex and the City rerun to relax before bed, and it's about Carrie freaking out about money and buying an apartment and being alone, and now I'm stressed out! Stupid Sex and the City.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I wonder if there's waterproof liquid eyeliner with a similar applicator to my Palladio--it's the first eyeliner I can put on without looking like I've been attacked by a toner cartridge.

Is this like a felt tip? I still use Old School Mary Kay liquid liner with the brush tip. Difficult to master but I still love it.

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

What's the applicator like, and would it fit in another liner's tube? Because the MAC effing everything proof liner is a gift from above.

It is kinda like a felt tip, with a little bit of give at the end. Pencils pull at my skin too much for me to handle, and the soft brushes are all over the place.

I have one from Make Up For Ever that's great. It's firm, but a soft give.

mother question - at what age should I be able to have mac take a bath by himself?

I think Emmett was tubbing alone by 4 or 5. I just made sure the water wasn't too deep and checked regular.

Allyson, I need you to talk my publisher into doing my cover the way I want it.

ita, I'm begging you to look at my book options and use your artist's eye to think of something.

Feh - we lost tonight 8-7. We were down 8-1 until our last at bat and and we had the tying run on first. I had him steal second and as he got to the base and the ball arrived at the same time he just stopped. If he'd kept running he would've been safe easily. The throw was up the line away from the second base bag so it wasn't where he thought it would be. But if he'd just. kept. running.

I didn't even care that much that we lost. I liked that we mounted a threat. But it was just such a stupid brain lock.

Hec, can you post the link again? I think you first posted it while I was PDA surfing, and I don't check links then.

PMM, it's Palladio and weird shaped. They say smudge proof, but that's a terrible lie. Doesn't need sweat or tears, just touch, and it's all over you. Until then, though, looks pretty good.

The issue is that "Swordfishtrombones" needs to be treated as one word. Conceptually, that's what the album is about - the joining of disparate things into an unusual but unified whole. Anybody who knows the album would look at any breaking of the word as sort of mistaken and untrustworthy.

The designers don't want to deviate from the series template though.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

While I'm suspicious that a fan of the album will literally be offended if the word is broken up (surely it's had to fit in plenty of design templates) and I can see the 33 1/2 people's point about sticking to their design, (after all, it's probably a significant part of their business model to have a unified front like the For Dummies series), it also seems like a small concession for them to reduce the font to fit a long word.
