We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Why do electric companies still send out meter readers? It seems like that would be so simple to do through computers.

My local public library is a block away from me. I've browsed a few times, but I haven't gotten a card yet. I should probably do that.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Actually, the latest way I've been doing my nails is with Instant Boss. Ten minutes of work, two minutes one coat one hand, ten minutes of work, two minutes the other hand, etc.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

My nails are usually wee tiny stubby things, on fingers and toes. I'm a biter and a peeler. Whenever I manage to grow them out, I am SO PROUD.

A lot don't. There's a lot of time and money involved in the changeover to smart meters, though.

The only thing I worry about with my nails is that they're clean and not ragged. Polish on my nails makes my fingers feel funny.

Plus I'm inherently lazy. I must be missing polish gene along with the shoe gene.

I am missing the polish gene, the shoe gene and the new car gene.

the new car gene.

Not so much the new car gene as "the money to buy a new car" gene.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I always paint my toenails, but I am forever destroying my fingernails, so painting them would be an exercise in futility.

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

I lack the energy and have too much lazy perfectionism to keep up with nails. If I had an in-house manicurist and tougher nails I'd totally keep them pretty. I just hate the mess I make of them, and how fragile they are.

I still hate the world, but on the upside I just totally mentally scarred someone.

It helps.

See, okay, it takes me way longer than this. I mean, part of it is the length of time it takes me to do the actual coats. But I've been waiting much longer than a few minutes between coats. I don't need to?

Not with a quick dry topcoat. Can't help with bubbles. I get them rarely, usually when I need to thin my polish.
