But when I finish? MANICURE! I am going to have the prettiest nails in a few hours.

No, I will have the prettiest nails after my next manicure, because *I* have extra-special custom-mixed sparkly Glambert Tears nail polish.

ION, my mom just texted me. This is not quite the sign-of-the-end-times that Pete texting me would be, but it's kind of close. Except that Mom texted me about nail polish.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Now, now, Jilli. We're both very pretty.

Except that Mom texted me about nail polish.

Is she one of us now?

She's been one of us for longer than I have, actually. Because she enthusiastically wears colors on her fingernails, while I still view that whole notion with some suspicion.

(When I was over for dinner last night, Mom started showing me the new polishes she'd picked up, and I was able to identify the brand and color names before I looked closely at the bottles. I blame Plei.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Ahahahaha!

Yeah, yeah. Blame me.

I now know the names of nail polishes other than W&W black. I totes blame you.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I don't view nail polish with suspicion, but I find that a good manicure, like well-groomed eyebrows and bouffant hairdos, requires a degree of commitment that I lack.

I R A SLOB

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

Well-groomed eyebrows are relatively easy. Or I just don't pay enough attention to realise when they're not well-groomed anymore. But a manicure stops living up to my demands by day three, min, and that drives me nuts. Even if I didn't pay someone to do it, it seems like a waste.

Whereas well-groomed eyebrows feel like they last for a while. Bouffant hairdos are understandably outside of my current scope.

Thanks again for the lift yesterday, Burrell! It was good to see you (and pics of the kids) even if I was stoned to the gills.

Not problemo, ita. It was good to see you too. I just wish the circumstances had been more conducive to long chats.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I have learned from the buffistas that a good base coat and a good top coat will extend polish past that 3 day mark. At least they do on my nails.

I love it now that all the sparkly holiday polishes are out. I have bought more than I need already and I want more.

Once I got upstairs I fell asleep in the middle of doing stuff. It's a testament to you that I stayed awake the whole time I was in your car...I did, didn't I?

I used the Plei-recommended base and top coats, and it didn't extend the life long enough for my peace of mind. I also find getting manicures quite creepy. But perhaps that's just the one place.

Please tell me I did not hear the new guy say he's been running a high fever for days. We explicitly got the "Don't come in and infect people" speech last week. The least he could have done is told me to stay back from him. But he's been inviting me to stand close all morning.

I refuse to catch his ick. On principle.
