So this whole slew of kids from this super elite, expensive, fancy private school near where my family lives in Massachusetts showed up at my university in China today. Apparently they have a summer program. Who knew?! My favorite part, though, was when they asked me where I was from, and I told them, they all tried to hied their horrified and shocked expressions. My town has SUCH a bad reputation, I can never decide if I think it's sad or funny...

Hello 4:00 AM. It's nice (?) to see you again.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
There's a Russian bath in my neighborhood where they offer a coffee grounds & sour cream scrub. (For which they need much better marketing. I'm sure a more upscale spa could make being rubbed with used coffee grinds sound like a luxury add-on, but here it's just Igor coming up to you and saying "Is coffee waste mixed with sour cream. I do just one leg. You don't like, you wash off. You want?" Igor who has just about the most cliched Boris-and-Natasha accent you've ever heard, by the way. He's a sweetheart, but I do not want him rubbing "coffee waste" on my leg or any other bodypart.)

I am up at 7:30 (the kiddo got scared at 12:30 and slept with us...this will NOT be regular, but for last night, it was a "Awwww....)
He's still crashed, but I got breakfast stuff laid out, and his lunch all packed while I was making cappucino, so he can sleep while I sneak in a cup, a cig, and some internet updates! Go Team Summer Me!

Also, I would totally do it, Jessica, but y'all know I am an exfoliating fiend, but, yeah...not appetizing.

"A moisturizing, exfoliating scrub made of all natural, eco-friendly ingredients. Perk up your skin with our special caffeine compounds while luxuriating in the aroma of fresh-brewed coffee."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
"Is coffee waste mixed with sour cream. I do just one leg. You don't like, you wash off. You want?"
My first reaction was "Yours or mine?"

Caffeine is often an ingredient in cellulite creams...so there's that bonus feature.

I found out that there's a nail place in Oakland that has the callous-eating carp. It's $10 for a session with the fish. I might go.

Ooh. You should go and tell me how and where it is, cause I am intensely curious! Especially for only $10!
Am at airport waiting to get on flight. Do not want -- it's so early I feel sick to my stomach.
