How they make the hair look so fabulous on the commercials. Also, Superman's cape.

oh hai I'm never here, these days!

Update: the neighbors have offered me their cat, after me expressing how much I love her. She has fleas now. My ankles are very itchy. I leave tomorrow for two weeks, and when I get back I'm going to take them up on their offer.

How are things with all y'all?

Friday Question from the Book of Questions Are there people you envy enough to want to trade lives with them? Who/why?

Photo Friday: The Letter H

Thursday 3-point update 1. I went to see "Chef" tonight, the Jon Favreau movie. It was great, a feel-good film. And of course there was a lot of food in the movie. At one point, when the lid is lifted up on a Texas BBQ and there are four perfect briskets underneath, I groaned out loud. Needless to say, I was starving by the time the movie ended. But luckily for me I was at the mall and the cinema is next to the food court. So I had Vietnamese rice noodles and managed to resist the cakes in Cafe Concerto, the temptation of a custard Bavarian at Krispy Kreme and the gelato place.

2. I am back in the swing of it at Bikram, really feeling the benefit of it. It's only six weeks until my holiday so I think I might do a juice fast next week. I definitely feel and think better when I'm eating properly.

3. My cleaning service comes on Thursdays, and I love coming home to find all my housework done. I wish I'd done this years ago.

Look at the death stare Ellen Corby is giving this pig. That is a STARE. I'm thinking about putting together an FPP about Will Geer. Fascinating dude. Did you know the guy who played Grandpa Walton was gay, and a member of the communist party?

Windows 8, you are kind of stupid My new-to-me (off lease) Lenovo laptop came with Win 8, and doesn't perform well. The maintenance in progress indicator has been on all day. So I go to www.update.microsoft.com, which unhelpfully tells me
Find Windows Update using your Start Screen Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, then tap Search.
If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, then click Search.
Enter Windows Update in the search box, tap or click Settings, and then tap or click Install optional updates.
But I have disabled the swipening because it was incredibly annoying. Yes, I was able to go to control panel and choose update, but srsly, Microsoft, this wasn't helpful at all.

Let's talk kitchenware and hats. No, make that kitchenware AS hats!
