ita and burrell, I have nail polish for you! And the round robin box arrived but with a bottle broken (which I'll try to clean up before I forward everything to liese).
Today's been a Day. We had a haircut (me and Noah at the same barber shop -- $40 for both of us), went to Trader Joes, went to the library, bought two pairs of shoes for Noah (one is blue suede!) and had sandwiches at the Pasadena Sandwich Company. Naptime now and polish clean up for me.
Now I'm all nostalgic for my grandmother's irises. She planted several beds at my parents' old house, including some blue-white irises like these that were the best-smelling flowers I've ever been around.
Do not like mentions and links. Nefarious sources.
We have been out of the house since 10. Am tired. Want a nap, will not get, may whine.
I just have to fill him with love and compassion and hope that he will eventually get it a little bit.
This is beautiful.
I am so amused to hear all the non-washers, rarely washers coming out of the woodwork. For many years now I've been washing my hair about once a week. All of a sudden I feel like it's the new normal.

Whoot woo! I've been anticipating its arrival you know. Guess this means we should arrange a get together at some point. Or just default to next weekend.
Oh brother. If you want to listen to the interview, it's here: [link]

This is what I was assuming. Though I do need to go to Surfas at some point.
Is there going to be some upcoming tvtropes book deal? Because usually when you see press on stuff everywhere, someone has sent out a press release. Also, couldn't they talk to Jilli re: Gothic Charm School instead?
So, moving to New Orleans: good idea?
Pros (compared to moving to Bay area)
- lower cost of living
- many opportunities to be involved in rebuilding efforts/volunteering and other non-profit work
- not cold in the summer
Cons: (compared to moving to Bay Area)
- don't know anyone there
- very hot in the summer
Factors true for both:
- awesome places to live
- great food, drink, music, people
so... Heather, Dana, ita, (Hil??), and others who have lived in New Orleans, I'd love to get your thoughts.
