Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I accepted a job today! With a federal agency! I've finally achieved my dream* of getting what my friend calls a "GGJ." (Good Government Job)

They already checked my references-- hopefully this is just criminal records/credit report check. I worry.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Brazilian blowouts use high amounts of formaldehyde. I'm stunned by the high amount of emotion in the comments. I'm pretty used to the good hair/bad hair issue among black women, but to see white women crying over their hair to this extent and saying that they'd rather have regular treatments with exposure to 8% formaldehyde than find another way to handle their curls and/or frizz, or to live with them, I'm taken aback. Uh, buzz cuts for everyone.

Doesn't surprise me. Curly hair can get complicated -- both the hair itself and all the emotions and conversations around it.

I'm at the Barnes and Noble, to see a talk with Bryan Lee O'Malley and Neil Gaiman! So far, just one girl dressed as Ramona Flowers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Woo hoo, bon bon!

I enjoy the raw beef of several cultures. I wish I knew where to get that Korean raw beef up here. Raw beef, raw egg yolk, pears, and sesame oil. YUM.
