Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Kat's right-- if I do a mask, it's at night, generally, and a cleanser/toner regimen is for the morning. But also a mask would always go after the skin is cleaned and before using toner.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Here's how much I don't feel like working: I totally just accidentally clicked onto dirty websites, in order to see pictures of Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minillo Doing It in a hot tub.

I mean, seriously.

I'm also way too amused by the whole Al Gore III story -- the assortment of drugs, the doing 100 mph in a Prius, the whole bit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But you are cleansing and toning at night too, right?

I'm loopy today.

I just checked the Aveda site for usage of their masks, and they're not even consistent. Always after cleansing, sometimes after toning.

I don't know why I keep thinking there's some big girly secret that explains it all...Unified Femme Theory, or something.

I think I'm most amused by the Prius bit.

Hivemind question: what's a nice way to say "busboy". I'm writing a complaint letter, and I need to refer to them, but I want a classier term.

Maybe go generic with "employee"? I can't think of a higher-status designation for busboy in the vein of administrative assistant.

At night I usually just use some cleansing wipes to give my skin a rest.

I think toner is usually just a big scam, but since the ProActiv stuff works for me, I use their toner.

hmm, I was thinking maybe "back server", because I need to distinguish between the server and the busboy.

I don't.

I just checked the Aveda site for usage of their masks, and they're not even consistent. Always after cleansing, sometimes after toning.

I'd think it would depend on if it's a moisturizing mask or an exfoliating mask, or what -- I woudn't tone after moisturizing, say.

In the TAL piece by the black professional (lawyer? banker? I forget) who gets a job at an all-white country club, the managers call them "busmen." Of course, they also call the place where they live the Monkey House.
