Leg wax is the devil..

So I'm really lazy, and I hate shaving, so I figured I'd try to wax my legs. BAD IDEA. I bought some Sally Hansen leg wax stuff at Target, recruited the help of my boyfriend, and locked myself in the bathroom. It didn't hurt to pull off as much as I thought it would, but it left quite a few random hairs in some places. I also ran out of the little fabric squares that come with it before I got my legs finished. And to top it all off, there was wax all over my hands, legs, bathroom floor, towel, etc. That shit doesn't come off very easily, and it took a lot of oil stuff and a long bath before the wax was removed from my skin. My legs are still pretty hairy, and me and the razor will once again be bonding in the shower tomorrow morning. The boyfriend suggested I have my legs waxed by some sort of professional, but I'm pretty sure that's out of my price range. So unless I want to go "au natural", I'll have to content myself with shaving several times a wekk...

any interesting leg wax stories out there? Feel free to share!

Kurt Vonnegut Jr. (1922-2007)

I had something rather important that I was intending to post about today, and I totally forgot what it was.... Damn that short-term memory loss...

Wait, I remember --- Kurt Vonnegut:
For anyone that hasn't heard about it yet, Kurt Vonnegut Jr. died earlier this week, and let me tell you, it made me pretty sad. For anyone that doesn't know, Vonnegut was a writer, mostly satirical science fiction stuff, VERY good. Breakfast of Champions, Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five -- you've probably heard of something he's written. And if you haven't -- shame on you. Go out tonight and pick up something of his, maybe two somethings if you're feeling up to some really good reading.

Random Tidbits

It's been a long week so far, and it's only Tuesday... First off I want to apologize for no updates in the past few days. Second, I will give another big review or something later this week. Right now I'm just slogging my way through lots of papers, reading, and working...

To tide you over, I recommend that you go watch Babel if you haven't seen it. Absolutely amazing movie, really. If you've seen it and would like to talk about it, feel free to send me and email or a comment, I would love to chat about it with you.

Additionally, if you would like to see your site mentioned on here with a quick little review (see earlier posts for examples), leave your name and a link here in the comments, and I'll get you on here within the week.

Can you believe it?

Someone just pointed out a news story to me about 4 5th graders in Louisiana who are facing charges for having sex in a classroom in front of the other students... Here is a little quote from the story (found on CBS news website):

Authorities said the incident happened March 27 at the school, which houses students from kindergarten through 12th grade. A high school teacher normally watches the fifth-grade class at the time, but went to an assembly for older students and the class was inadvertently left unattended, Buckley said.

The class, which had around 10 other students, was alone for about 15 minutes, he said.

"When no teacher showed up, the four began to have sex in the classroom with the other elementary students in the classroom with them," he said.

I don't even know where to start on that... How does that happen? They students weren't even caught by any teachers, one of the kids in the class told a high school student the next day, who in turn told a teacher. That is ridiculous. Seriously. When I was in 5th grade, I didn't even THINK about having sex, let alone doing it in front of my classmates in the middle of the classroom!?!?
