I have an interview!

Do remember the time difference.

YAY Emily! Do you want someone to call you at 10:15 on whatever day to remind you?

I have an interview!

Yay, Emily!!!!!!!

Excellent, Emily!

since I'm bailing in a sex

How does one accomplish this, exactly?

I being tested for lyme disease. grr.

also, I've scared the beejesus out of mac. the next week is going to be a trial.

Poor msbelle! Poor mac! Why lyme disease, what happened?

Polgara, if you don't know, it's probably too late for you to be taught.

Yeah, msbelle, what's up?

Bear with me. I'm home from work and the painkillers are ineffective.

I may become addicted to jezebel.com.

Blonde hair and black eyebrows should never go together? Maybe they mean just the thick ones--my brows are dark, and honestly, anyone can go Joan Crawford insane with the colouration.

That having been said, I think Sienna doesn't look that good--the brows de-age her, maybe, and it's not a good look for her. Of course, I should disclaim by saying I had my brows done last week, and like every time I wonder why I don't keep them shaped because I love how it makes me look like I give a fuck. Then I remembered I don't give a fuck, and it's rude to lie.

God she looks great for a candid shot. Sometimes you know why they're paid the big bucks to be pretty--and it's almost worse when it seems they have to exert no effort.

Bebe is touting the trench. I couldn't be happier. I have two, and want a gazillion more. The more modern of my shirt dresses have the same feel.

I swear Bebe was more reasonable when I was in Michigan. However right they may be about the trench, the leggings/STIRRUP FUCKING PANTS ideas are insane.

I want to be ordained. I think that would be cool. But why would I trust a net-ordaining company with my financial information? I mean, they've got to be either incredibly naive or just plain shady. Maybe I need to find one that takes paypal.

My lust for a dashiki may be nearer payoff. That article totally needs more pictures. Uh, any pictures.

the average American woman purchased two new handbags a year in 2000; by 2004, that number was more than four

Who are those women that are making up for me? I've bought three bags in the past five years (I can't possibly have been in LA that long...) and two of them were from Target. Which is balanced more than somewhat by the ludicrous cost and tiny size of the third, but I'm still nowhere near the ladies above.

I think it's perfectly okay to lie to a guy and tell him you're going commando. No need to take all of Cosmo's advice.

I have what I assumed to be a bug bite on my leg - it has doubled in size since Saturday. It's yucky and hurty and itchy so I went to the dr. today. They said Lyme as soon as they saw it, but drew blood anyway and will just treat symptoms until they get results.

It might not be, could be a spider bite or an allergic reaction (although I have never had one before) or some odd virus the Dr. doesn't suspect.

Yikes. Remind me never to go outside again, OK?

I buy an unreasonable number of purses, given how many I carry (one at a time, maybe two different ones a year), but I definitely don't buy four a year! I actually had to pull myself back from buying novely purses yet again this weekend. (These were laminated newspaper.) They just seem like such a fun thing to buy! Not a huge statement to carry, not a huge financial commitment, etc. And yet, I buy them and they sit in the closet.
