Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Platinum streaks would be pretty awesome. As is this:

Woot!

Jilli, I should talk/email you sometime about helping my emo tween navigate the rocky shoals ahead. Although I have to say I'm always impressed at the stuff that she just doesn't let ruffle her. Like when she first cut her hair shorter and then dyed it, some gal came up to her while she was talking with a friend and asked if they were gay. Clearly was meant to make her feel bad, which it didn't. Instead it prompted my daughter to bring up a whole rainbow of sexual identities and start a conversation about it.

Awww, emo tween! I would be delighted to help out.

That is the PERFECT response. Good for her!

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

That's so great, Burrell!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm getting my hair cut and colored Saturday, and I'm sorely tempted to cut about 5 inches off and get rockabilly platinum streaks.

Rockabilly suits you.

The Internet is out in my neighborhood. Thank goodness for smartphones with data plans.

It's surprising to me that she can still be so childish in some arenas (like, say, fighting with her brother) and then in others, she just has such maturity. I guess it goes with her age? But she's sort of always been like that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Praise Jesus, I have a steroid pack for my migraine and two backup prescriptions if it doesn't work.

Steph, or anyone else who's taken this kind of steroid pack, the instructions say to take 6 pills on the first day, beginning with breakfast. I would really like to start taking the pills now and not wait until morning. Any problem if I just start taking them now, adhering to the schedule as much as possible?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I asked a pharmacist one time if I could start them right away (evening-ish), and he said that it could keep you awake all night. So it won't *hurt* you, but it may fuck with your sleep.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The dosing instructions for the first day are two before breakfast, one after lunch, one after dinner, and two before bed. So I don't see how starting now will be any worse, and I'm ready to set this headache on fire.

Thanks, Steph. I really appreciate you serving as our unofficial pharmacy tech.

No problem. Try to split up all 6 into 2 doses over the rest of today; that might help.
