OK, the pringles can here: [link] ? I had to think for a moment if my brother had done that. I know he uses a gatorade bottle as a reservoir for something and has a lot of ...handmade parts.

I hope you're not posting from an iPhone.

That made me laugh and laugh.

Gracie, you go, girl, and keep it up, OK? (But lose the fever.)

I didn't even click on the link, and I know I want to go to there.

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

I cooked up a TJs peppercorn-garlic pork tenderloin for dinner.

SO GOOD. Also on the list of things that Ditaboo wants to eat. A lot.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I got bad "you're not getting the job news" today. I didn't even get an interview!

I've had a mini bottle of white zinfandel and 3 dove dark chocolates. Bah humbug!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

i'm hearing this clicking noise and investigate. It's a larvae/insect trying to do it's kung fu flip action, but it's caught in a web. the stupid part is the spider that's trying to wind it up, and is pulling the silk from it's heiny, except there's no thread coming out, and the spider keeps pulling and pulling and thinking it's bundling up the little clicker guy, and nothing's actually happening. I think the spider has had more to drink than I have.

So I gave myself really short nails for the trip (shut up) and typing is so weird now. As is everything else. They are the length of a fingertip.

I'm due for a cut, and know that once I do, the ends of my fingers are gonna be very sensitive to touch.

I'd like to keep mine short for work, but I'm lazy and wait for them to get about 1/4" long, which is when they start to break and wear down from not using gloves.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So, when I go get my hair cut tomorrow, should I chop off all but about a half inch (the not currently dyed part), or would that be too extreme?

A half inch is pretty short. It won't show scalp but it won't lie down either.

Maybe a temporary rinse until you can get it to one inch?

OTOH, if you do decide to get it cut, come up to the city and I'll make sure you feel like the prettiest.

To compare: this guy's haircut is half an inch long.

eta: Jamie Lee's pixie is about an inch long on the sides and an inch and a half to two inches on top.

This cut, which is about an inch on top and 3/4 on the sides is about as short as you should go.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I went out for dinner tonight and had a dessert that I had to share with the Buffistas: chocolate waffles with maple bacon ice cream and candied bacon. Dear me. It was so freakin' good. Chocolaty and sweet and salty and smoky and warm and cold and so so good.
