I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

tommyrot, that link was so wrong. I am scarred for life. Ewwww.

LOLdeathcat is very funny, in a dark way.

Sorry about the lousy pharmacist, sara. Grocery stores try and do too many things sometimes, and end up doing none of them well.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Emily! You are leaving tomorrow. This makes me sad.

How is packing going?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The photoshopped photos are creepy. Especially [link] and [link] .

OK. Way creepier. They put a new mouth on the kid because she wasn't smiling. [link]

Me too!

Pfft. Packing? We gave up and went out drinking. juliana can now attest to the wonderfulness of AtH!Teacher, who totally needs to be a Buffista. Also, we got ridiculously tipsy and discussed... I no longer know what.

Tomorrow, throwing shit in the SUV. Pray for me, and wish me good parking.

Way creepier.

Not the same kid. To whom does this appeal? Seriously, just hire somebody to draw her. Then at least you could claim artistic license. Here it's kind of "here's a picture of a doll who kind of looks like her. Well, at least it's wearing the same outfit!" Freak. Ass.

I'm glad you had a good last night, Emily.

Even creepier because of how unhappy the kid looks.

It's for pageants. In addition to the regular competition, they've got photo competitions, where the parents of the kids who are competing send in a photo of the kid beforehand, and there are awards for "Most Photogenic" and stuff like that. The rules prohibit any sort of touch-up of the pictures, but nobody follows those rules. So, if you've spent the money on the studio and the outfit and the photographer, and you're planning on spending the money on the entrance fees and getting to the pageant, and your kid just won't smile for the camera, just get a digital retoucher to replace her mouth with a smiling one.
