Just watched Louis CK's special, and two things: I would be pissed if I had paid the $75 or whatever to see the show live (just him, one hour, no opener or anything, and now I've seen it with no cameras in the way for $5!), and also I can't decide if I would think he was too old for me in a picture, because he is not actually, and we should totally date, and I would hate to overlook him on OKCupid. Where I am sure he is just waiting for me.

I have a niece who is 11 and loves tie die (I can't remember how to spell that!) and peace signs. I'm looking for a cool Christmas gift. Anyway have any ideas?
eta: I think 11-13 might be the hardest age ever to shop for. I know her and see her often and have no idea what to get her.

I dunno; it doesn't seem any different than paying more to go to a concert than you do to buy a "live in concert" album. And the live show was about 90 minutes long; it's not all in the special.
But apparently the sound was bad for at least one show. That would be vexing.

Because books.
Stephanie, The Children's Place has a lot of peace sign stuff for girls.
Nilly, I'm so sorry. Peace to your husband's family, and good healthy vibes for your dad.

Thanks, Amy. I will go check...

OK, that's something, at least. Actually, I guess it really depends for me on what the tickets cost -- $40-$50 seems fine.
I wouldn't buy a "live in concert" music album anyway, but partly that's because most of the music I like is heavily processed.

I am taking votes on finger nail polish on my fb. I bought some I GOT FIRED polish from the OPI Muppet group: Rainbow connection, excuse moi, gone gonzo. And then not like the movies because it was there and iradescency pretty.

Hey, has anyone used the nail polish sticker things? The package says it only lasts 1-2 days -- is that true?

I've been trying to come up with ideas for presents for two 11-year-old girls. A co-worker whose daughter is now 13 recommended a chain of stores called Justice: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesse, thanks for the heads up. I have no idea how that tumblr post got in. I deleted it and changed my password and sent a message to support, which was probably the wrong order to do things in.
Fuck, I'm so tired and I'm not done work yet. I still have to send out the email summing up today.
The consultant from the software company acts really impressed with me, and he was pointing out that I wasn't "just" a business analyst, and the developer muttered "lobbyist" and I had no idea what he was talking about, or if he'd even said that. Then my boss had a huge misconception and we all panicked and needed to change his mind, and I made a game plan and got together some people and typed up the document and gave a presentation, and the consultant seemed even more impressed, and this time the developer *definitely* said "lobbyist". But it was *important* to change my boss's mind. So we did.
Thing is, I can never change that developer's mind. But he says no lobbyist can lobby everyone. Bastard.
Okay, let me go send the status email.
