Thanks to Natter I have money coming my way.

Did you know that you can search 40 states' unclaimed property databases at one site--

I followed the link, did a search, and there were three certificates from when I opened a bank account in Spokane when I started undergrad. I think they matured after 10 or 15 years and I'd completely forgotten them. I'm pretty sure it's total is less than $100, but hey, free money.

This picture of Matilda, and its caption, cracked me up!

That photo of Denise Richards looked Photoshopped to me. I'm hardly an expert, but her face seems brighter or something than the rest of the picture. Also? I hate Brazilian waxes. Hate.

Anyone want to go to Vegas?

Lee, we're going next weekend! It's not quite the same though, huh?

ita -- yes it was. Oh, so completely silly.

Zenkitty, the caption was totally and shamelessly stolen from a wonderful line in Season 3 of Slings & Arrows, which may not be to the taste of all Buffistas (I happen to know of two particularly delightful Buffistas who are meh on it) but is to the taste of enough of them that anyone who hasn't tried it yet really really should.

Sometimes I think I am kind of okay looking. Then I run across pictures like that one of Denise Richards and I slink away into a corner with a bag over my head, considering myself good and schooled.

Except, eek! Is that what they mean by a landing strip? 'Cause, kinda ew.

This post brought to you from beyond the grave, slain ded by sarameg's nephew in his giant helmet.

Thanks all! I'm very partial to thinking him adorable. I'm biased. Scary thing is, he's almost a spitting image of my brother at that age. The nose is a little more his mother's. It likely means he'll be killing people dead throughout his life (it feels weird to say, but my brother is fairly attractive. Objectively. Cause otherwise EWWW. But he is.)

Jesus, JZ. Do not let any part of your self-image be touched by Denise Richards, EVER. You're better than that.

She doesn't look real.

Sadly, from surfing the web looking for pretty pictures of pretty women, it makes me feel slightly unclean at the number of actresses who pose semi-topless. For some reason, going south of the waistline just made it seem more tawdry, I think.

Sumi, I couldn't watch more. Tarnished my previous memories of British Robin. Damn, man, they were wearing fatigues.

This is me learning other people's boundaries. My sister is a looker. My parents were both knockouts in their time, I think, and my father has aged supremely gracefully (which is code for not that much).

I can go as far as assessing the possible appeal of most of my family--but I really want to stop at appeal.

Cracked Emmett up too. He couldn't stop laughing after he took it.

JZ, you are far more than merely "okay-looking"! You're beautiful. Even Denise Richards doesn't actually look like that photo of Denise Richards. The magic of Photoshop, baby.

Yeah, I get that. I can say my mom was awfully adorable when she was married and in the years before. Cause she was. Farm girl cutey. But I can't really say anything about my dad, cause it freaks me out. But he was, um, clean cut? There's a gender thing happening there. On top of the familial thing.

With my brother, part of it is knowing, well, he's a helluva lot prettier than me (damn him) and I don't mind others to take note of that. It's like, hey, he's married and all and aren't y'all so unfortunate! Well, when he isn't being insane.

It isn't about me. Except in the proud big sister sense. And a fuck,he got the genes without zits and weight issues. But he got the Nose! Ahahaha! Um.
