How did Sprouts solve your yogurt problem??

By stocking flavours other than plain or vanilla in the big tub quantity. Oh, and with fat. My happy yoghurt place is half and half Straus whole milk vanilla and Greek Gods honey & strawberry. Gelson's, Bristol Farms, Ralphs, Wholefoods--did not stock both of those consistently. But Sprouts also has enough variety that I can get the big tub of Brown Cow blueberry yoghurt to experiment with this week too. Yay, Sprouts, supermarket from off my radar.

I'd probably just post as a status update "I AM NOT (NAME), BUT SHE USED MY EMAIL ADDRESS TO SET UP THIS ACCOUNT...MAKE A NEW ONE! USE THE RIGHT ADDRESS"

I was trying to keep stuff off of publicly visible, so I just grabbed a name and sent them...something. Christine is on the case now.

Those people finder apps tell me there are a number of ita MyLastNames in and about SoCal, but the only ones I'd found anywhere using Google were in South America and in Ireland. Where this new one is from too--but she's a generation younger than the artist lady I'd identified early on in the game of vanity googling.

Which, logically, makes the most sense--ita might also be a Spanish nickname and a Hebrew name, but Irish is most likely to give my surname and a shoutout to our saintly namesake.

I have done a blue rinse once. I don't think it's for me.

I am pretty sure I've fucked up assignment due dates enough that I am not getting my surfeyticket (Patois) of completion from this art course, but I will continue taking it. Which means I need to ditch here and get back to enveloping.

Oh, and watching S&H, who "couldn't conduct a straight investigation if [their]¹ lives depended on it." Oh, look! They just featured a crossed phone line. I wonder how nonsensical that might be to people who aren't sure what pay phones look like...

¹: What is the proper way to indicate that not only have you inserted your own word into a quote, you've removed some to avoid confusion. Square brackets and ellipsis?

Between a karate seminar yesterday and walking around a street fair today, my foot is very upset with me. R.I.C.E in process. Along with a couple of self pity tears. I'm tired of being broken.

I went to an older folks church service this morning and was looking at all the ladies' dyed and curled hair and was wondering what our generation's old lady hair will look like.

I was thinking about this very issue recently, but mostly from a cartoonist's POV. What is the signifier for old lady hair goign to be? Right now in SF it's pretty much all Judi Dench pixie cuts and bobs. Also, older people seem to be investing in expensive running shoes that never get very worn so they always look shiny new.

I was also trying to figure out what the cartoon silhouette for the Oughts would look like. I guess the 90s is now signaled by flannel/Grunge.

Skinny pants and shitty fedoras? Whatever those hats are?

I'm just glad that I'm not living on Long Island anymore and subjected to those matching velour track suits. No, honey, they don't match your french pedicure.

Dude, Kim Kardashian gave birth and it was fully 36 hours before I heard about it, and that was even by mistake (sidebar article in another article I followed a link to). Maybe civilization isn;t ending after all!

Interesting point about the haircut, ita. I actually have seen and met white and Asian women with shaved heads, but it's not the usual, that's for sure.

Did I share the story here about seeing a young woman with a shaved head in the 80s and smiling at her and thinking "wow, so does every white girl who cuts off all her hair look like Sinead O'Connor?" and then realizing, oh! that's Sinead O'Connor.

flea, I didn't know until I heard from you.

Uh, sorry about that.

well, it had to happen some time, I suppose. I don't blame the messenger ;)

That's fantastic.
