good times.

Whew. Found some random stuff I can stash in my desk in case I have more face-cleansing crises. Hopefully it doesn't make me break out like the last vacation I took from my normal face care regimen. It doesn't feel perfect, but it feels a lot better.

Note to self: this grey v-neck sweater has too much wool in it to wear next to your skin. YOU KNOW THIS.

Thatcher had dementia for a long time, which is kind of sad, but I know there are still a LOT of people in the UK who loathe her and nearly everything she did when she was in power. One o my old friends, who grew up in Manchester in the 1980s, always swore she would dance on the woman's grave.

I'll say. One of my friends just posted "Ding dong, the Wicked Witch is dead!" on FB.

I still laugh about the idea we (msbelle, others) had of paging "Rio Hernandez and Bob Saget" at an event before we had met them, even though we didn't actually do it.

Hahahah! That would be hilarious. To us, at least.

Better than the weirdo melancholy dream I had about a long-ago ex last night. I hate dreams where the feeling lingers, even if it has no basis in reality!

I'll say. One of my friends just posted "Ding dong, the Wicked Witch is dead!" on FB.

I knew about the way she broke the unions in the north, and the Falklands thing: I didn't know she instituted a poll tax in Scotland. WTF.

Apparently the Glasgow city council is pleading for people not to party in the main city square, as it's being renovated.

Also, she sold off the public ownership interest in BP and said Nelson Mandela was a terrorist.

Your friend is not alone - there's going to be a long, bitter conga line ready and waiting after the last shovelful of dirt is tamped down.

Do you ever have a near-aching compulsion to wash your face (this must be the wind's fault too)?

Yeah, I try to keep a package of TJ's makeup remover baby-wipe like things around for those occasions. In fact, I just ran out yesterday so I need to stock up...

I ended up with Simple exfoliating wipes for sensitive skin. But I really want my stuff and a good lather.

Is this rumour [link] out and about? I'd never heard anything like that.

I had a strange dream last night that I met Bob Saget, in the Rio sense, not the actual Bob Saget, and had a compulsion to explain the Saget nickname to him even though I was completely certain (even in the dream) that he already knew about it.

I wonder if Saget could be convinced to sign something Bob Saget.

Also, if I can have more coffee now.

Now I'm tempted to find a way to find out.
