All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The power of makeup, celebs before and after.

The Charlize Theron "ugly" photo is from the serial-killer movie. With make-up and dental appliances to make her ugly.

You deserve a taste of rock star, Allyson. Or more than a taste if it works out that way.

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

Thanks, Allyson! It's probably better that she read me than I read me. I think I'm losing the ability to speak clearly. No one can understand me anymore.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sara, this is my favorite routine by Klimova and Ponemarenko. Such deep, Russian melodrama, such passion. They certainly were talented, and made wonderful use of drama.

Allyson, I'm so glad you had a good time at the signing.

Back to look at no-makeup photos.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

nasty virus going around masquerading as breaking news alerts from CNN and MSNBC, with varying headline

Thanks! I wondered what that was.

Allyson, it's good to hear that the book signing was good for you. I'm regretting now missing the book release party/signage/can't remember what it was now that Nilly tried to see if I can go to last year by 24 hours, when I already had a flight to the East Coast.

sarameg, again, I can really relate to the hate shopping thing. I went to buy shoes to wear with skirts and dresses yesterday and had gift card for cloths, so I used it too. At some point I realized hanging around book stores and music stores won't get me anywhere near my targets, so I had to be practical and use them. So I now have new shoes (which mean I can wear the skirts I have!), a new skirt and a new top. And a new album...

Gonna celebrate my birthday later today. But for now, it's work, work, work...

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

Happy Birthday, Shir!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Heh, Perkins, thanks, but ya'll wished me happy birthday on the "official" date two weeks ago. Tonight will be the Hebrew date.

There are advantages for being Jewish, I guess. Two birthdays almost every year and all.

It's a hobbitty approach to birthdays--what's not to love as long as you don't get two years older?

I just did some ironing so I'd feel a bit better about my clothing. The idea I don't have enough is sheer delusion, even if too much of it doesn't fit right (I need longer tops, for real) and I can certainly make do.

Thank you very much!
