Because books.

I love the show, too! I love that she's so up front about all of it -- when the salons are dirty, especially. I also love that it's not all about showing them up, or humiliating them -- when she took the whole crew into Manhattan for training, and new haircuts, to see how a really top-flight professional salon worked, that was fabulous.

I think my favorite was the Italian guy, and her getting him to *throw* money out the window. She's brash, but she's not wrong. And I still love listening to her talk.

I keep forgetting about Tabatha's show! ::programs TiVo::

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I'm sold on Tabatha's show. I think she's great, and really cares about her profession. She takes a lot of abuse, but stands up to it because she's so committed. She rocks.

I know! I already have my teams -- the Geeks and the Hippies all the way!

The Geeks for sure. I'll wait and see about the old Hippies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm somewhat behind, but how hilarious would it be to run into all these jokers at the airport? That just occured to me for the first time, for whatever reason. And how psyched would you be in the main line when they all started running off (assuming they were in front of you in line....)?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Dude, that guy - the newly dating guy from NYC- is CRAZY. Crazy! 1) gets mad when his girlfriend speaks a language he doesn't know 2) gets mad when his girlfriend talks to other people 3) gets mad when his girlfriend runs faster than him and 4) gets mad when his girlfriend attempts to talk without his permission. OMGWTF?? She has also fallen into his lair of crazy with the "I hate the people who didn't respond to me even though it wasn't clear at all I was talking to them."

I guess it would take some major insecurity to be able to put up with THAT guy's BS.
