Mr Ralph Stanley sounds like a pretty great dog, so far.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Mr. Ralph Stanley sounds like a real sweetie.

I'm pickling eggs, woohoo!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I don't know where Leone came form in our family. My aunt Leone was from my grandmother's first marriage, which I don't really know that much about. Mostly were have a lot of Irish, French and Catholic names. Lots of saint's names.

Isn't there a Saint Leone? For me, it was my father's sister's middle name, so maybe it was a family name. They were French Canadian.

Also on some islands in the Chesapeake Bay. The populations were so sheltered for so long they held on to the accents their ancestors came over from England with back in the 1600s.

Zen, do you mean "Ocracoke Brogue"

Yes, exactly! I lived on the Eastern Shore (a peninsula that juts out from Virginia, west of Tangier Island, very rural) for a couple years and the folks there all talked like that.

Henna "crowns" for chemotherapy patients

Wow, that's gorgeous. What a lovely idea! I'm sending that link to my niece who has alopecia. That's something she'd do.

Occasionally he sighs with a tiny tiny hrrmmph.

Aw, that's cute. Mr. Stanley is a lonely old man reincarnated as a puppy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, here's a ridiculous problem: I'm signed up to do L'oreal product testing, and just got my first actual product to test! Which is exciting, but it's foundation, and it's like one shade too dark. And then one for next week is a shade darker than that. I guess I'll try a little tomorrow and hope I don't look ridiculous. But maybe skip the second-week color. Or go out and get a little tan...?

Mr. Ralph Stanley is sooo cute!

ION, I'm answering some quick interview questions from a writer for Financial Times about an article on vampires, vampire fashion, and the upcoming Dark Shadows movie. My life is never boring, that's for sure.

Because books.

Didn't they want to match your skin tone before you started? It's hard to test a product that's the wrong color.

They literally just asked online if I would wear a color called "Beige." Maybe "True Beige," but yeah. I'm not going to worry about it too much.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Frankie does the "old man grumble." I crack up pretty much every time.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Kato often heaves this long-suffering sigh, like NO ONE can possibly understand how HARD IT IS to be Kato! (He just did it, which is what reminded me. Poor pup.)
