I have to go in to work tomorrow. I am not happy about this.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Oof, sorry about all those of you who have to work the weekend!
I just went and (thanks to Groupon) had my very first laser hair removal. OUCH OUCH OUCH. I think that hurt worse than my tattoo.

Are the results worth the pain, meara?

I don't know yet, Cash! You have to go for five or six sessions (every 2-3 months, depending on where it is--apparently face/head hair grows quicker than the rest of the body?) before they'll guarantee no hair (the place I went gives you a year of "if you see a hair, come in and we'll do it free" after that).
So, give me a week or two--I'll be interested to see what happens--and then give me a few more sessions. But generally, it's something I've been considering a long time and never got around to doing (I figure I have great hair/skin for it--dark hair, pale skin). I'm excited at the thought of never having to shave again...but I think the price is way too much without a groupon.

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

I had it some years ago and can comment. It feels like a snapped rubber band; the pain will be less intense on subsequent sessions. I should say you shouldn't expect 100% removal. If you imagine each session removes about 30% of the hair, the diminishing returns make it too expensive to get them all removed.

I have issues with facial hair. mostly some that get ingrown very easily so I was considering this or electrolysis. Both are ouchy but I'd like good results.

Sounds like I wasn't the only person desperately trying to catch up on sleep yesterdat, despite the fact that I have a thousand things to do?
I COULD NOT face doing anything school related yesterday, since I have been working on school stuff for hours every night for two weeks, and have an all-day grading and planning and session ahead of me.

I figure I spent about 11 hours working on my school project -- or rather, getting to the point where I could, because I had to iron out a bunch of conceptual aspects to get a handle on what I have to do.
IOW, if the first project is to explore Africa, I first had to find Madagascar. In a rowboat. With a small paddle.
However, by the end of the marathon, I have a base camp established, with hovercraft, GPS satellite info, and I can see Africa from where I'm sitting, too.
