See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I don't remember exactly when I started subscribing to Sassy, but I know I read every word of every issue of the last 3 years before it was turned into a weaksauce version of Seventeen, and I never ever cut a single page out of any of them. They live in a box in my dad's closet for now, along with almost every Spy from 1991 through about a year after its near-death experience. If I can manage to restock my lost collection of McSweeney's early issues, that'll be Matilda's college fund right there.

I am sooooo jealous. I have no idea when/if I will get my hands on it. Bro is packing up his house as I type this - he is US bound in a week (yay!) so I'm probably gonna have to order it and then he'll probably steal it.

I have long eyelashes and lots of hair on my head. Unfortunately, due to my Italian genes, I also have long lush hair everywhere else. And due to my other genes, I am super pale. So frankly, I worry much more about hair removal than hair growth. I tend to think even a lot of people who let their leg hair grow would be taken aback by my unremoved mustache and chin hair.

Kicking evil very hard in the face!

t edit I still can't cope with Tanith having a Remnant. I'm not expecting it to be fixed in this book -- that would be WAY too easy -- but I really hope it's eventually fixed.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I have short, sparse eyelashes, but the Latisse thing about possibly changing the color of eyes freaks me out.

This. It kind of freaks me out.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

ELF makes a nice, cheap curler. I hardly ever curl my lashes, but I DO use mascara -- if flush, Lancome's Definicils is my One True Mascara, but L'Oreal's Voluminous (NOT THE CARBON BLACK one, it smears like whoa) is my cheap choice. (Lancome owns L'Oreal, so a lot of their products are very similar.)

Out of idle interest, what's everyone's go-to products for getting out of the house face? Not fancy face -- just whack it on, going to the store or work face?

I wash with Olay Sensitive, use Aveeno's Scrub for Sensitive Skin, and Olay's Regeneriste in the am.

Then I use Lancome's Effecernes for blemishes, undereye and evening around the nose. Tarte blush stick, then Philosophy mineral powder on my t-zone.

Sephora's Gel liner in Moss Green, Smashbox's Gold shadow, Voluminous mascara in Black. Brush my brows into shape.

MAC's lip balm in Tender Fuschia, or Clinique's Black Honey.

Takes 5 minutes.

I keep blocking it out... I keep hoping Landry will be take pity on us, but somehow I don't think he's going to.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I have to go to PetSmart tomorrow and get some flea dips and a flea comb.

And treating the house, yes?

I rec using 20 Mule Team borax. I rec it a lot.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sephora is making really excellent water-resistant liquid liners in surprisingly awesome colors.
