And liked it!
Wendy and I made a 711 run - there are definitely a handful of Redskins fans down there.
I was amused to see that at the coffee area there was this political advertisement - mostly a ploy to buy a larger cup of coffee since the smaller ones didn't come in McCain/Obama colors.
And then it appeared that there weren't any Obama cups! Only McCain! Alright so a minute later Wendy saw that there were indeed Obama cups available on the other side of the coffee thingy. But I would have hollered conspiracy if only the McCain coffees were up for grabs!
Gotta get the photos off Wendy's camera of me up in a tree. I didn't get very high up but I was skeptical about even managing to haul my ass up to the first branch, so once I got up there I called it a day. Wendy was generous and took a couple shots that made it look like I'd climbed higher. She on the other hand monkeyed her way pretty far up. I'll post those shots soon.
The weekend prior we were at Jeff's again for football. This is Jeff's cat Virgil and this is how he sleeps.
And now a before/after installment:
I have been scared of older lady hair since starting school. This woman was assigned to me and I had a pang of fear but she was nice and patient and I realized that doing highlights on older lady hair is no different than on younger lady hair. I don't know what it was that made me think it would be, but older women make me nervous I guess because I always expect them to be mean, or impatient, or demanding, or any combination of the three. I mean, if my Upper East Side grandmother came in and was assigned to me as a client she'd be terrifying. And that is how I plan to be when I'm a senior citizen. I'm gonna get my dang senior discounts on EVERYTHING and I'm going to be an asshole to the waitstaff and give handfulls of pennies to trick-or-treaters. So anyhoo here's this lovely woman before.
She'd been given a partial head of highlights 3 months prior and needed a retouch.
After! I gave her the older lady blowdry she wanted - those bangs weren't my idea - but you can see the little blonde accents I added around her temples. She wanted to be lighter around her face because she said it made her look younger, but she's got a face like my mom that's happy and youthful so she doesn't need it.
She tipped me $15 so she can have all the blonde highlights she damn well pleases.
Watch the debate tonight!
My dad tipped me off to this comment that was written in response to the Rolling Stone profile of McCain:
How Racism Works
What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?
What if McCain were still married to the first woman he said 'I do' to?
What if Obama were the candidate who left his first wife after she no longer measured up to his standards?
What if Michelle Obama were a wife who not only became addicted to pain killers, but acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?
What if Obama were a member of the Keating-5*?
* The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
What if McCain were a charismatic, eloquent speaker?
If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe the election numbers wou ld be as close as they are?
This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in another when there is a color difference.
PS: What if Barack Obama had an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter....
You are The Boss... which team would you hire?
With America facing historic debt, 2 wars, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc:

Chip Beef really is a total trip!
It was delicious! I'd love to make it but I can't find the damn stuff. I'll have to buy a truckload of it next time I'm further south and then keep it in my freezer. I tried to see if Hormel sold it online, but they don't. I imagine they don't get too many requests to ship chipped beef up to the Yankee North.
I have several comments:
-Your words may say you like chipped beef, but your face tells a different story.
-I had Halo Freeze Fanta Wild Cherry Slurpee when Halo 3 came out, and I suspect it tastes a lot like Redskins Freeze Fanta Wild Cherry Slurpee.
-Fuck you, McCain cup supporter.
-That forward was sent to me and I was embarrassed at how much I was like "right on!!!" to a forwarded email.
-Sorry to be blowing up your commentbox, but I hadn't had a chance to read your blog much lately, and I'm loving it.
-No no! I liked it! My face looks like that probably because Wendy took that picture and we'd been awake long enough to watch breakfast be prepared, but not long enough for me to slap on some makeup.
-I imagine each one tastes like Wild Cherry Slurpee. That is my wager.
-Yeah fuck that guy.
-My dad forwarded that and, like you, I was embarrassed by myself.
-Keep reading even if you're, like, a billion days behind. I like comments.
