'Selfless'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Timelies all!
Other than a concert Sunday night, pretty quiet here.
Preview checked, 3 tickets resubmitted, still don't feel like I can go home until someone has acknowledged shit is wrong and will be fixed.
In better news, I found related on You Tube!
I just got offered a free subscription to nytimes.com "courtesy of Lincoln" for the rest of the year. I wonder if I'll have to watch a Lincoln ad every day.
Just looked at my numbers, well they are at least going in the right direction. LDL down 6 and total cholesterol down 8. Hdl up 8.
So just do more of what you're doing?
I think I broke my sister with Rebecca Black's Friday.
A Victorian dress made from 1,000 beetle wings that was worn by one of the most famous actresses of the era has been restored at a cost of £50,000. [link]

That dress is stunning! I wish there were better pictures.
I have to keep retrieving my dad's hand drill, with its flat, painted wooden knob and gear handle, from H's toolbox. It sits under the lamp, along with a wooden hand plane. Elsewhere are the sad iron with the mechanically detaching wooden handle, on its own cast iron trivet, and a wooden coffee grinder with iron cup, burr, and fancy curvy crank handle. Old tools and implements--especially wood and iron, where the wood has been shaped and polished by decades of touch and the iron has an earned patina--are beautiful, and deserve display between use. Okay, the iron has seen use with us only as a bookend, but that's still *use*. I would not want to live in a closetful of them, however.
Connie, I found a better pic through google: [link]
My issue with the mall hair is NOT the bigness, it's the untamed frizziness of it all.
Untamed? They worked HARD for that halo. Not a single hair touching another and sticking out at a 90% angle from the head was an ART FORM!
I know all malls look alike to some degree, but I swear I recognize that one girl from High School. This thing is giving me flashbacks. Was all the world suburban NJ in 1990?
