My hair is slowly returning to the Natural State of a Kit’s Hair, which is to say, it’s getting progressively shorter. I got it cut yesterday (photos here, but I think I’m probably going to go back in and get them cut some more. It’s okay as it is, but seems sort of half-assed, and I don’t really think having the bits around my face is especially flattering. I’ll bring in a photo of Gwyneth Paltrow from Sliding Doors and say “do that to it”, though it may be very…

shoes. *sigh*
I did not understand the whole bit in the Hitchhiker books about the planet whose entire economy was based around shoe stores (at which you could not find shoes that fit) until I visited Wales.

And the Pyramids at Giza really shouldn’t be demoted, so they belong in…

Well, no, that’s not true, I did finally make marshmallow creme so I can make fudge for a couple people. And then I cleaned the kitchen and made cornbread to go with the (insanely good) chili Ted made for dinner. And we watched PiratesII,…
squee!
’round about the beginning of the month, I joined , which is an *incredibly* nifty photography community. The idea is to share photos from around the world for each 24 hour period, so the moderator posts at international date line midnight and you have a day to take a picture and add it to the comments on the photo. Then one picture’s selected for the top level posting, letting you scroll through the main page and see a photo a day from around the world, or you can go through…
