Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey tech-y people: If I want to say that people are creating cellphone apps, what's the best verb? Program? Develop? Build?

I'd say "develop."

I like the Boots knock-off you can get at Target, but I think the formula of the YSL one is slightly better.

But $30 better?

That I'm still waffling on.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, good -- I think we said "develop" most of the time. But not all of the time, because it's too boring. Are the others OK?

I went to Sephora at lunch (giant mall across the street, home to the Apple Store; how I managed to escape without buying a Macbook is beyond me) and got Benefit's Eye Bright. Playing with it, it seems pretty good.

Benefit also has a new powder foundation that, holy crap, I really love and might have to ditch Aromaleigh for.

I think you should make up your own terminology.

"They're almost done deep-frying the new app!"

Just be confident about it, so that other people pick it up. And if they look confused, explain it in a slightly condescending way.

I don't think anything is going to lure me away from Aromaleigh at this point. Now I just need the owner to get back from Italy so we can continue plotting.

I will definitely try that. But maybe not until after we get the money...

Called Hello, Flawless. It's not a loose mineral powder foundation; it's your standard pressed powder. But it's so unbelievably matte that I almost cried. (I'm often quite shiny, so a matte powder that stays matte is a thing of beauty.)
