You know, I was white blond and bald until I was over two. This lead to my mom never cutting my hair when I was little. By the time I was five my hair was at my bum, and I used to hack chunks out of it all the time. It looked a little awkward at times, but I was still freakin adorable. You know what, it'll grow back. I do not understand how she can be upset with you if she was supposed to be watching the kids at the time. Who lets three year olds alone with scissors? You should be upset with her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

One of my problems with those sites is that some very useful organizations show up badly. A nonprofit that offers free or low-cost services such as counseling or home health care shows up as having high admin costs, because most of the money goes to salaries for the health workers or counselors. In general, I think pay at most nonprofits is too low to keep enough good people and metrics that punish them for higher personnel costs are often counterproductive.

I 100% agree with all of this.

That's a gross quote about Christina Hendricks. But I shouldn't be surprised, after reading some bs article today that some competitor's coach suggested that a US skiier maybe has an advantage because of her extra weight. She's like 5'10" 160 or some other normal set of numbers.

The Hillel center at my university is having a special Shabbat dinner, free for anyone who's never come to a Hillel Shabbat dinner before, $5 for everyone else. Email subject line: "Still a Shabbat virgin? It is time to give it up."

um, what it the purpose of this?

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

"Still a Shabbat virgin? It is time to give it up."

This doesn't mean what I initially thought it did, does it?

I know we didn't like Christina Hendricks's dress at the GG but this is ridic

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ooh, a Big Bang Theory rerun! Exciting.

I was just going to link to that! I'm not saying I liked the dress either, but good lord NYT, was the newsday really THAT slow?

My objections were more to the color than the shape, actually. I don't think there's anything wrong with emphasizing an hourglass figure - just don't do it in a color that makes you look like you just gave blood.
