"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Frank, my officemate said she swanned into her kitchen all cheerful and peppy, and when her roommate (very gently and tenderly) broke the bad news to her she almost cried.

I can only imagine. It's bad enough being a day behind.

On the other hand, I love being a day ahead - it only feels like Tuesday to me today.

Don't tell me it IS Tuesday, not even as a joke

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

ita, are your "Wet Men" limited to famous wet men?

The Shower Series

For the last few months I have been inviting people to visit my apartment and allow me to photograph them in a very intimate space; my bathroom. I have also been inviting them to take a shower as I continue to shoot them. I soon came to the observation that warm water running over my subjects bodies often relieved them of any unnerving awkwardness the camera brought about. Once they were relaxed, the bathroom, formerly a beauty parlour, now became a confessional and I the hair dresser.

Worksafe.

This how cats eventually end up buying things on eBay. Learn from Hubby's errors!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Flight question for the hivemind, please. I seem to recall a website where you could put in your expected flight dates and destination, and get the odds on whether the price would go up or down in a given time span. Does anyone here know what site I'm talking about?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Kayak? Or...Bing.com/Travel, which appears to have bought Farecast.

I think I was thinking about Farecast. Thanks, P-C!

Bath Bombs

My kids love bath bombs, but they are usually shaped like a plain ball. That situation has been rectified, and you can pre-order bath bombs that look like bombs! This might help to get reluctant little boys into the bathtub.

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

ita, are your "Wet Men" limited to famous wet men?

Yes. I'm a themed celebrity picture repository, as opposed to general people. That way lies territory I'm not interested in.

And that writeup for that series sounds weird. I'm not even clicking at work.

A truly beautiful grammar rant

I just saw that linked twice on Facebook. Ha!

My new shoes arrived! They are new! And they fit! And look pretty similar to my old shoes! Hurrah! Now I just have to break them in at the Muse concert tonight.

My co-worker thought I looked so handsome she took a picture.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I feel like I'm juggling a bunch of balls and dropping them all on my head.

Oy, yes.

Nora, it sounds perfectly appropriate to me, but I don't know that I'm the best judge.

The Shower Series

Those photos are stunning.
