You said that botox isn't worth it--that implies some sort of a trade, right? What are you giving up, in exchange for the effects of botox? I'm not getting sick, I'm not shortening my life, I'm not increasing my risk of dying or getting ill that day by any significant amount.

I'd consider crossing the street to be a bigger risk to my physical wellbeing than putting myself in the hands of a medical professional to administer the treatment. And I never think "is it worth crossing the street to get that bagel?" Well, not in an "I might die today" way. In a "fuck off I'm tired" way probably, yeah.

This is what the NY Times alert I just got said

I pay them money each month, I should totally be getting that alert. No one told me there would be wistfully funny things with the NYT...

Well Tylenol is pretty evil occasionally

Hence my choice of tylenol for that sentence.

Steph, I left that hyphen in for you! You're welcome.

What, "relatively-minor"? Oh, I saw it, missy.

I pay them money each month, I should totally be getting that alert.

It was under my Nuclear Power Alert. I have no idea why the Nuclear Power Alert was less than alert.

My sister just tossed 2 AD quotes at me in response to the Poehler/Arnett split, and I only caught one. Sheeit. I might have to watch the whole damned thing again before I go home.

I haven't seen True Lime in any of my normal stores. I'll check out Bristol Farms and Gelson's, and if neither of them have it, I'll order online. I'm curious.

True Lemon and Sodastream are perfect for each other--cuts down on my Izze craving more than the diluted fizzy fruit juice, for some reason. And since that's going away...I have one can of the good juice left, and I don't feel tempted to mix it up. This and the rooibos mixes iced have me pretty clammishly happy for the moment.

Thoughts from my day:

I already have too many shoes. Fluevog really needs to stop having sales.

The bag I got after you all helped me choose it arrived today. The color isn't quite what I wanted, (more oxblood than red) but it is a perfect size.

The host of the new Pyramid freaks me out a little. He looks plastic.

My "summer vacation" of not being frantically busy EVERY SINGLE SECOND at work and constantly being behind and having to work weekends has definitely ended.

I like wine, and Bevmo's 5 cent wine sale,

HI! I already miss you all.

OMG, I have BevMo now. I should totally go hit up a BevMo.

in response to the Poehler/Arnett split

That actually makes me sad. I wanted those crazy kids to make it. Clearly they were more together than I.

I am sorry we picked a not ideal bag, Lee.

ita, I heard from my sister. She didn't have a lot of info about the procedure but said she'd had patients who had good results. But she also confirmed your initial reaction that it was a big hurdle to overcome. In other words, it is a big deal but it does seem to have real benefits.

Aw, shit. My best friend from high school (we're not tight anymore, but I keep up with her on FB) just announced she has breast cancer. Jesus. She's only 37! She had kids before 30 like you're supposed to! WTF, world?
