Happy Birthday Juliana!

Oh, amid the migraine sulk yesterday I forgot to mention that I came home to this Sunday night after spending the weekend Dad-sitting: [link]

The drunk/high driver that crashed into it and knocked it over apparently just backed up and wobbled away down the street toward the slum tenements. Oh yeah, primo neighborhood for selling luxury condos to yuppie families.

Also, our office is now growing these on the front lawn: [link]

She says, "I take a three-minute shower. I even brush-wash - brush my teeth while I shower. Every two minutes in the shower uses as much water as a person in Africa uses for everything in their life for a whole day."

The amount of water I use rinsing my teeth after brushing is negligible. And I suspect I finish showering a lot quicker by having both hands free for washing rather than juggling a toothbrush in one hand and a bar of soap in the other.

Assuming one should brush their teeth for two minutes it's not the cleanest body-washing she's doing either.

I imagine using bathing water on a daily basis at all seems pretty extravagant if you're used to sharing living space with Brad Pitt.

I think maybe she (Jennifer Aniston) is saving water based on letting the water randomly run WHILE you are brushing for two minutes. Also, I think brushing with one had and washing with another should totally be a n opening montage to a movie about a wacky career girl, or something.

The first thing I thought when I saw the Aniston story is that her mouth must be rank if she's brushing and bathing all within 3 minutes. Assuming that she actually takes a 3 minute shower (yeah, right).

This made me all teary this morning:

Also, Canada's Amazon is delivering my book, so, um, if you're in Canadaland and want to write an Amazon review on Amazon.ca, you could. If you wanted to.

Aww. Sweet, Allyson.

I bet Jennifer Anniston neither washes her hair nor shaves her legs when she takes a shower, so that would "save" a lot of shower time.

Oh, paperdol, that's a gorgeous review. Pity about your awful building manager, because it seems like you have some truly amazing neighbors.

Also, my mom's store still hasn't gotten their review copy. I'm thisclose to running to the downtown B&N to buy her a copy (already have my own on order with our neighborhood independent) so she can just get on with reading it, possibly reviewing it for the local paper, and definitely ordering it and pimping it to her customers already. But I wanted to give you a heads-up in case there's an official book-sender somewhere who needs an ass-kicking.

I brush my teeth in the shower for the precise purpose of staying in the shower longer. JA is nuts.

She could get wet, turn off shower, soap up, brush, and then rinse and spit during the three minute shower section.
