bah, not like you don't already know. i'm mostly just proud of myself for imagining the analogy. and thinking of people i disagree with getting stung by bees, because i'm not a very nice person.

fascinant!

no, they see a beehive and enjoy poking at it with a stick because the stings kinda sorta feel like love.

joseph! joseph was the brother who was sold off. joseph and his technicolor dream coat!

okay, I AM A FULL-ON MORMON, and the first three times i scrolled past this picture on the main page, i thought it was of disneyworld and the article was going to be about gay couples raising kids in florida.

"when will this g-d damnned mitzvah tanz be over so i can have some wine?"

haha, this part of the old testament is my jaaaaaam.

the badeken, or veiling ceremony, recalls both the story of jacob and rachel (a chance for the groom to ensure he is marrying the woman he has chosen to marry) and rebecca, the first woman to veil herself before marriage, as a symbol of modesty. more from the orthodox website aish.com:

zilpah and bilhah were actually servants who were given as wives to jacob because rachel was barren. he had children with them, and leah, until in her old age, rachel's womb was miraculously opened and she bore benjamin and joseph, who were recognized as his actual heirs (because their mother was his beloved wife).

you know who loves surprise tacos? THIS PANDA.

"Tacos. Like, I want to have a Saturday where we're driving to the mall or something, and suddenly she pulls out a whole tray of tacos from under the seat and is all like 'SUPRISE! TACOS' and then we would eat tacos."

yes! tressemme forevz!

i am a big fan of aussie volumizing mousse! all aussie products, actually! my extremely fancy and often prohibitively expensive stylist recommends them. herbal essences works well too!

while it's totally possible to get that shape with just a person's regular hair, i'd bet it's more likely that there's a piece of foam or dense netting under there. it saves a lot of styling time, and keeps the hair from getting too damaged.

bump-its are infuriating lie machines. i have never met a single person who can use a bump-it with any modicum of success, and certainly not to the degree of that smug betch on the box.

girl. i hear your fears and i share them. but i also have extremely thin/fine/long hair, and i swear to you this worked for me. you can buy poufs in black (i found one at target) which mitigates the nightmare of possible show-through (way better than hot pink or something).

I WILL TELL YOU.

i was just toddling over to leave the puppy-rolling-back-and-forth-forever .gif, but i'm glad to see you took care of that already. FANX.

i will happily park my currently-existing-only-in-my-dreams-with-my-best-redheaded-friend POPCORN TRUCK outside your furniture store. we will gently remind people not to smear bacon caramel corn on the credenzas.

something i wondered was who the public defender's boss is, and whether he is receiving pressure from above to answer media requests.
