This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My one friend's seven year old maintains that she shouldn't have to get dressed because she isnt going anywhere.

ltc has been getting dressed every day. Mostly in costumes or dresses. Whatever makes her happy at this point.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

She's not wrong. Don't tell her I said that.

so the hair that had been bleached for the teal and then dyed brown when I started job hunting is now starting to fade and has a greenish tone. Is there a good box dye? or have people tried Madison Reed?

and along those same lines - what are the chances of putting in decent highlights/lowlights by one's self?

Is the Canadian "borrow" first vowel approximately the first vowel in (Canadian) "sorry" as well?

Probably, but it's not like either would ring as weird to me, y'know?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I think - though I cannot be more confident until later today, when I'll speak to the TA - that I finally nailed down a nasty logical ouroboros for a policy paper that's been pecking my mind for more than a week now.

Finally, some peace of mind in that front.

Well, I certainly picked the right time to stop coloring my hair. I now have about an inch of white hair at the roots, but the auburn is hanging on amazingly. For those of you who don't have white hair, it does tend to grab the color and hang on to it. I had originally thought it might be fun, once the auburn was gone, to use one of those colors - pink, blue, lavender - that you can buy. Then I remembered that the color would hang on ... and on ... and on ... and decided that would probably be a bad idea (unless I really liked the color).

Our wings are not tired.

A woman where I get my nails done has very white hair and she has had varieties of pink, blue, and purple over the years. I'm so jealous of how nice it looks, and holds.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

For me, it's a hair away from "burrow". Relatedly, every time we go up to visit M's mom, I come away with a stronger Ontario accent than he does.

Is there a good box dye?

I like Splat for the reds, but I've not tried the green.
