I have a friend who says that he won't buy toilet paper in bulk (like Costco) because he says that when people see the large amount of toilet paper, they think about how much you poop. I think he's ridiculous.

What it reminds me of is being 14 and buying tampons for the first time (or slightly older and buying condoms). But really, you should be over that shit by the time you leave high school.

Emeline is hedging her bets that I won't take her to school in her pajamas since she refuses to get dressed. Sweetheart, never bet against a mommy who is years more stubborn than you are.

Oh, Emeline. You will learn.

So, apparently when my boss said two days ago "here's the bibliography you need to scan and upload to the class' site" he meant "here's the list of topics of the classes I'll teach in this seminar. Now go and find bibliography on them, and start the seminar's site from zero".

The semester starts on Sunday. I'm really, really, really no expert on this seminar. It wouldn't be an issue if I'd know about this, say, a week ago, so I'll have the time to prepare.

Oh, and did I mention I meant to write papers until then?

Send ice-cream.

You know what improves a Monday morning commute? AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds" on the radio, and cranking it up, and head banging along to it and making the suit in the next car look at you uneasily. Hey, just because I drive a black car with a skull on top of the antenna is no reason to be antsy, dude!

Sends ice cream and cabana boys to Shir to do the website for her and give her back rubs and foot rubs.

bonny, I bookmark A LOT of your posts. There's often something that speaks directly into my life. So thank you for sharing your wisdom and your self with us.

Awww. Tep and smonster, you made my day! smooch

I buy toilet paper at Costco even though it is just me. One of those honkin' packs lasts me for about 3 months. Whether or not I have tp is NOT the thing I want to spend my time concerned about.

I am with vortex though. I envy the storage that bigboxbuying requires.

Beverly said what I would have said about stranger and their strange thoughts. Who cares. I would, however, add one thing. Sometimes I DO watch people and have thoughts about them. This is recreation for me...in no way based in reality. SOoooo. If anyone else is doing the same in my direction, I can't really deny them the entertainment value, now can I? Good for the goose, good for the gawker.

Jilli, I will never again take your warning lightly. I kept the book on, after that one ridiculous scene because, by then, it was too funny to look away. But then, Dracula turned up and it became something else and well...Lesson learned. Moving on.

Someone mentioned Terence Howard upthread.

I snerked along with everyone else when his toilet habits came to light in the tabloids.

Then, I saw the colon cancer screening psa he did about his mother dying (at 56) of the disease. While I think he could benefit from therapy more than baby wipes, I can see why he'd go that way. Poor guy.

Terrence Howard is an all around douchebag. He's been quoted as saying that now that he has a daughter, he respects women more. God, I hate that sort of revelation. It's a clear red flag of extreme narcissism to me.

It's very sad that his mother died young, but that doesn't excuse him acting like an asshole in public.

ita's right. Plus, I don't care if Terence Howard himself had weird grooming habits; I'm not sleeping with him and I'm not his doctor. It was the things he said about women and their "grooming habits" that put me off. It was so Red Tent-ville, ya know?

Ah. I didn't read past his personal hygiene stuff far enough to get the douchebaggery. No excuse for that, agreed.
