Does Bon-bon know she's a regulation fire type? (And an awesome one, I'm sure.)

My mother's lashes got pretty thick with the glaucoma meds. She's sad, however, that they haven't turned her eyes brown. Which is freakish, because the woman has insanely green eyes.

That's it exactly - that's the medication that they isolated the ingredient that makes lashes grow and marketed it as Latisse. And I'm glad to know it didn't your mom's green eyes brown, because I like my eyes green.

Though I do prefer removing it in the shower because the tubes look weird in my sink.

You know, I think that's actually what turned me off of it. The stuff looked like little spider legs.

Now I want creme brulee. I will marry a guy who can cook. I'll fix the cars, man, you just cook.

I also want a little bitty torch to make jewelry with. Not that I have ever made jewelry. Possibly I just want a handy little torch I could keep in my purse.

"Seriously? You just happen to have one on you?"

Hee. Hot.

How about a Star Trek toy phaser that's been modified to fire a real laser that's strong enough to pop balloons and blind people?

Phaser-to-laser mod puts out 465mW

I have refillable clicky sticks but woeful refilling skills. I manage it, sure, but the escaped fumes/fluid makes me fear for my surroundings. Not to mention the volume that gets on my skin.

I'll have to go back and read the discussion on eye color, but...I started out with dark brown eyes and now have light green eyes. Didn't even notice the change until my thirties. (Then again, I had blond hair as a wee one and am dark brown now, so maybe it's an inverse thing.)

Carmel brown eyes...mmmm. So pretty.

That Star Trek laser is crazy. I want one.

Thank you for explaining that! I've been wondering how that research came to be and assumed it was some sort of penicillin-type accident.

Blech. I've got some sort of stomach bug. I want to be at home, nibbling saltines and sipping ginger ale. Instead, I'm in my office, nibbling saltines and sipping ginger ale, because I'm supposed to meet with my advisor today. He never specified a time, he just said sometime before 2:20. If he does not show up, I will be very annoyed.

Why did it take this long for someone to do that? That's brilliant.

Probably the whole "can blind people" thing. You should really wear goggles while playing with the phaser, as you could otherwise accidentally point it at some reflective surface and laser yourself in the eyes. Sadly, goggles don't generally go with Trek stuff... unless you can find that face mask from that one episode with the box that makes you go mad if you look in it....

Emmett must never see this.

He's bad enough with a laser pointer.
