My car repair litany: lube & filter, replace clutch cable, power steering and brake fluid flush, replace right and left front axle shaft, right lower control arm assembly, replace rear brake soes, cylinders and rotate drums, replace front tires,alignment. WHEW.
And, uh, it drives so much more easily now. Which is kinda scary.
Um, yeah, that sounds like kind of a lot of things, Sara!
Also, did we know it's the anniversary of the premiere of Buffy? I learned that on Facebook trivia.
Timelies all!
Came home to find cat barf in the hallway upstairs. Bleah.
Gotta love reinforcing gender norms. My sister tipped me off to the rising trend of manicured male eyebrows in Jamaica, and it made me stare like a rookie. For a culture that's reputed to be so homophobic (it is better/worse/different than you've heard), it's damned metrosexual.
I don't think *anyone* should spend too much time on their appearance, but, seriously? All the "you can't have better shaped brows than me!" comments are buying into the Platonic ideal of eyebrows and then denying it to men. So not fair. So, if it's not ruining the rest of your life, groom as you wish. And leave me to not groom as I wish.
Except I really need to cut my hair. It looks like shit.
Shit, shit, shit. I have to write a bio of myself, for work. Third person, right?
sara, in regard to your shopvac box getting wet, once at a "community shred" (they bring in a dozen industrial shredders and let people bring in bags and boxes of paper to shred) I saw someone had packed their papers to be shredded in the box their home shredder came in.
and Sheryl, sorry about the mess. You really shouldn't have to face that kind of thing before you've fortified yourself.
Shit, shit, shit. I have to write a bio of myself, for work. Third person, right?
Ugh. And yes, generally third person, AFAIK.

I think it's a generational thing. Definitely a lot more young guys are doing it.
Ugh. And yes, generally third person, AFAIK.
Thanks. I just was asked by my COO. Evidently the CEO has "an interested party in me." Gulp.

That whole thing was bizarre.
