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.

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

I want blue beef.

I don't want to be on call at 9:30 Sunday morning.

Congratulations, bon! What neighbourhood will you be working in?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I find myself in the horribly unfortunate position of agreeing with the evil jackasses who protest at military funerals. I don't think they should, I think what they're saying is ridiculous and hurtful...but saying they can't? Worries me. What if I want to protest at a president's funeral? A celebrity? My deadbeat dad who left me out of the will after not paying child support? Where does the line get drawn?

I think they do have a First Amendment right to say whatever they want. However, I also think their choice to say it at a funeral in a manner that deliberately adds to the suffering of already grief-stricken relatives should open them up to lawsuits for infliction of emotional distress that will rightfully strip them of every ill-gotten dollar they've ever made through their hate speech. Hopefully being reduced to subsistence level farming and/or begging for food will give them something to do with their time other than harass innocent and vulnerable people.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Woo, bon! (and not "gummint" Vortex?)

And also Woo Gaiman, Scola!

I used to make homemade eggnog with raw eggs every Christmas. Till everybody got horridly sick one year, including the cats. I still make homemade eggnog, I just use Egg Beaters. H used to make steak tartare, but we couldn't find high enough qualiy beef for a long time, and then we sort of forgot about it.
