"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I watched Big Bird learn that Mr. Hooper was never coming back and cried and cried in my office,

I'm getting a little teary thinking of it, and I haven't seen it in 20 years.

flea, I may have (but I definitely posted it in LJ this AM) But for those who missed it the first time around, it's here [link] with YouTube links to each of the moments.

Happy Birthday Glamcookie!

Juliana, I am seeing Kirsten today (finally!) and was wondering about tipping. Normally, one doesn't tip the owner of a salon, but I'm not sure that applies here.

Me too. I don't know if I want to see that again.

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

A prime example of how the housing market got so fucked up.

The comments on that were very informative.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

She's the only one there, so I always tip her. I don't know what Perkins and Lee do, but I think they tip her, too.

I watched Big Bird learn that Mr. Hooper was never coming back and cried and cried in my office,

This, like discussion of Jim Henson's death, always makes me choke up.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

ION - the day is sloooowwwing down.

Today is like getting stuck behind a frail elderly woman in an airport with a freshly deplaned horde passing by you with their rolly-bags, and you're doing this slow mincing shuffle, occasionally darting sideways in an attempt to pass, but frail elderly woman is frail and you're afraid that you'll accidentally step on her heels and knock her down and break her hip or something, but OH MY GOD, if you move any slower you will DIE.

My stylist is the sole person in her salon, and I always tip her. But I also love her and thinks she's awesome.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

In fact, I thought it was specifically on the New Balance fitting site that the links for over- and under-pronation led you to the same shoes.

I think they do -- for some shoes -- simply because they refer to the shoes' "motion control," meaning that the shoe holds your foot steady but doesn't cant it in one direction or the other.

But "motion control" is veryvery bad for supinators - those shoes force the arch to stay up. Supinators have problems precisely because the arch is so high that it isn't collapsing as it should when weight is put on it - they should have "neutral-cushioned" shoes.
