You’ve got to watch the videos. They’re all a bunch of kids basically yelling “POP!” and jumping around in slow motion. At least, I think they’re kids. At least one of them looks like she’s in her 30’s.

Apparently you put your hair OVER it. For that Marge Simpson look? And then you can stick little charms on your hair through the holes. There’s youtube videos and I still have no idea why anyone would want this. They seem to be perennially on sale at Claire’s, though.

The PigPen costume is actually kind of awesome. I love the tulle “cloud of dust” effect. The makeup and ears can fuck right off, though.

I love making costumes and dressing up, but since we moved I don’t really have anything to DO on Halloween. Last year I went to a themed party, but it sucked, and I don’t really like huge parties with people I don’t know.

I was two when I had heart surgery. I did not get married until much later. ;)

I have heard stories of women who needed mastectomies waiting at the hospital for their husbands to pick them up. And waiting. And waiting ...

I think they’re already supposed to be that, but it never works in practice. Some mom or dad is determined that their precious crotchfruit will win, even if they have to do the whole thing themselves.

The sad thing is, I just made that up and now I think I ... kind of like it. Good thing I’m done reproducing.

I looooove this! The Baby Phat purse, however, looks like someone took a skirt or a jacket with the logo and (badly) sewed it into a bag.

...does this little guy randomly say “klaatu... barata ... *coughcoughcough*”?

I’m gonna go do a spot of neurosurgery this afternoon then. By his criteria I should be better at it than he is.

Oh man, I know that feeling SO WELL. My parents certainly could have given me a lot of help with my projects; my father was an aerospace engineer. He also believed that the only way to learn something was to do it yourself, so that was MY project to figure out and do. And I’d struggle through, and feel accomplished…

Science fairs always break my heart for this. You can always tell which kids have parents that can’t or won’t help them out. At one end of the gym you’ve got the cardboard backdrops with the experiment written in pencil. no colors, pictures, and a project consisting of a few sad bags of microwave popcorn or…

Sounds like you could rent my mom, except for the eating thing. But she will offer contempt for all your hobbies, friends, and how you spend your free time and money!

Jesus can I get him to deliver that duck leg salad to Seattle? I need it for the mouth part of my face.

I can’t help feeling like the easiest reply would have just been to post the definition of “idiosyncratic.”

HNNGGGG

I never ate brussels sprouts in my whole life, because my mother hated them. Last year I tried roasting them and now I could eat brussels sprouts every goddamn day. I’ma make this.

God damn it, I actually want that Armani skirt suit now.

See, if I’d had coffee, I’d have thought of that! ;) I used yahoo because, really, who is still using yahoo?
