Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm getting my hair cut after work.

Freaky! I'm getting mine cut tomorrow.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm experiencing peer pressure.

eta: Ha! About the haircuts, not about premeditating unpremeditated murder.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Steph, that would've sent a whole bunch of shivers down my spine.

Plus it's a capella, which for some reason was extra-creepy.

Steph, we had this on our claw-foot tub [link]

That's what ours is like, but the ring seems to have way too small of a radius. (Er, which is to say, the ring is the size as in your link, but the shower curtain bunches all up and encroaches on my space and clings to me.)

Freaky! I'm getting mine cut tomorrow.

Trim, or something else? I'm peering at hairstyles on the internet, pondering bobs and bangs and all kinds of crazy stuff.

Oh, and I found pants at Ann Taylor last night. And two sweaters. And spent a ridiculous amount of money, although all of it was marked down. I know I'll get my money's worth, but man. Ouch.

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

I am so tired. I read this as "parts of" instead of "pants at", and briefly thought shrift had stumbled upon a crime scene....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I know what you mean about the curtain, though Steph. In our old house, one of the showers was just up against an exterior wall (with a window!!) so there were just two shower curtains, one hanging in the normal spot, and one against the opposite wall. As soon as you'd turn the water on, it would immediately draw both curtains inward, and slurp, right onto you, for the duration of your shower. Very unpleasant.

You know what it is? Goddamn CONVECTION. Physics is conspiring against me.

not your mom's socks.

whoops - posted in the wrong place. Steph - have you looked into a shower curtain with magnets at the bottom? They are supposed to work with cast tubs and keep the clingy where it belongs. We're looking into them.
