While looking for some hair product at the drug store – my new stylist was teaching me things I can try with my hair at my last visit to her – I came across some products that I just don’t understand. And, of course, I photographed them to show them to y’all. First up: “Dirty […]

Today was the first day of my Christmas holidays! The way that vacation works at my job you have to accumulate your vacation entitlement from July to June for a given calendar year (e.g., you accumulate vacation time to be used during 2009 from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009 ) ((I can’t really […]
In case you were wondering, I did not, in fact, die before, during or after the 12 Bars of Christmas. I’ve just been too busy ((seriously.

So, yeah, this blog posting is one in which I talk about something extremely inconsequential. But it’s NaBloPoMo and the pressure of trying to blog every day is giving me blogger’s block. Just be thankful I’m not writing about my new iPhone yet again! This is the longest my nails have ever, ever been ((When […]
While searching for a name for Bellatrix (i.e., looking at Helena Bonham Carter’s IMDB page), I was delighted to see that she’s the narrator in an upcoming TV movie version of The Gruffalo, which is in post production right now. The Gruffalo is a kids book and its one of my niece’s favs. When Sarah […]
