I'm a high-maintenance, low-earning, slightly overweight, short, only-held-up-by-crutches, spider-fearing perpetual student, and she's a future West End theatre director.
I can only assume you will be fighting crime.
Can I mop your brow? I am at the ready with the fearsome brow-mop.

UPS is the devil, Strega. I once had them leave a "you were not here" note when I was home all day long (and awake, and not in the shower or anything). Apparently they didn't bother to, oh, RING THE DOORBELL.
WRT my hair, the issues are more philosophical than practical. I am torn between wanting nice hair like in the pictures on the internets, and the reality that I am cheap and lazy, and am not actually going to get my hair cut and/or colored every 6 weeks, much less use a flat-iron or product or even a hairdryer. Plus which, I don't have a lot of image demon issues with my looks, but the one that sometimes gets me is that I'm not 'pretty', so looking at pictures of glammed-up celebrity women with delicate feminine features makes me feel mannish and severe.
I am enjoying Hair Thursday for the "before" pictures of actual women with hairstyles, though. [link]

Ann, that's a ferret.
Connie, our Teddy loved to do that when he was younger. He's stopped doing it now that he's older and more sedate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
flea, product can be useful without a hairdryer, if that seems more possible -- it takes literally seconds. (Fewer than 60. I always hate when people say "Minutes away!" or whatever, when they mean like 180 minutes in real life...)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This happened to us twice last week! I do like some of our delivery guys, though. And picking up at the UPS place was fun, in a motley cast of characters kind of way.

My brain is now insisting on coming up with the spec for a particularly weird superhero movie.

Have you guys seen this hilarious video thing from MoveOn? It's hilarious -- be sure to put someone's name in. [link]
(That's right: Hilarious video is hilarious.)

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

Where did you go to pickup? I hate UPS pickups, because although there's a depot near me, I'd have to go downtown to get my package. NSM. For Fedex I only have to go as far as Manhattan Beach.
Aargh. I developed a massive stomachache just as I finished preparing lunch. I ate it anyway, because I only nibbled food yesterday, and I feel predictably lousy.
At least the construction is quiet today.
