I did not know that January Jones was dating Miley Cyrus' now ex-fiancé - Liam Helmsworth. Can't January find single men to date? Apparently not.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Ugh, Theo, I'm sorry. I know that's hard.
So jealous of Dana's tub.

Steph, I share your frustration on the chipping nail polish. Usually I get 1 good day, and 1-2 more days with just minor chipping, but that's it.
Do you wear gloves when you do the dishes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know if a base coat helps with chipping, but: try a base coat?
Also, I think my polish chips less when my nails are longer, because doing stuff with my fingers + short nails = doing stuff with the tips of my nails, but not so when my nails don't end near the balls of my fingers. If that makes any sense.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nurse Woo gave me a set of nail polish last week and it was creepy when she said "Maybe you'll be wearing it when I see you next." Yikes. But right now my nails are like paper again--I'm not clipping or filing them, I'm tearing them to shorten them. That manicure will last about two hours. But the set has OPI Brand New Skates and Little Red Wagon, never mind Don't Toy With Me. I'll wear them for a day.

I use Seche Clear for my base coat, two coats of polish, and Seche Vite as the top coat. I also make sure my nails are clean of any polish remover I have have used. My current manicure, which I did last Friday, only has one chip. I'm kinda shocked, but I'll take it. Oh, before I start with the base coat, I typically buff my nails with a light buffing pad I got from Sally Beauty.

Jesse -- I'm trying not to get over-excited about a technical phone-screen interview tomorrow.
Much of the financial woe is My Own Fault -- I did think I had only three outstanding tickets not six!?! -- but it all seems to be hitting at once.
I do have money coming to me from Mom's estate that will get here sooner or later, so I suppose that can replace some of the savings I'm going to have to liberate. But the reason I did save for a rainy day was to have something when it rained, so OK.

Yeah, I keep telling myself that. But still, it's not pleasant watching your safety cushion get smaller.
Good luck with the interview!
I don't understand my nails. They seem extremely hard and I can use them as little screwdrivers in a pinch, but then they will break or tear for what seems like no reason. Currently they are short and uneven, filed to get rid of ragged edges but not shaped, no color or anything on them. Not impressive in anyway.

I have an appointment tomorrow to talk with a guy about converting some VHS stuff I have to DVD. One tape has a few of K-Bug's birthday parties and it is so cute, I'm willing to ignore how I look.
The other tape is something my mom had converted from whatever the late 1930's/early 1940's filming standard was. It is the Coolidge Capers, home movies of my mom and her sister, plus my grandma and grandpa (I never met him). Most if it takes place is Sun Valley and is pretty cool stuff. But the music that is overlaid by whoever did the VHS conversion is HORRIBLE. Total synth hell. I'm not sure what I'd prefer...but I'm absolutely going to ask him to change the sound. I'm thinking something more evokotive of the time, not sure what though.

I have some VHS tapes I want to convert to digital, and when I was looking around it seemed cheaper to buy a unit and do it myself, even if I didn't eBay the converter when I was done. But I don't have any sound that needs replacing--just lots of capoeira sessions I want to keep forever and make myself miserable with.
