What Would Jane Austen Do?

I tried this new nail stuff: NutraNail Gel Perfect UV-Free Gel-Color . I honestly think it's superglue. At least, that's what it smelled like. And the results? Not good! I followed the package instructions on my right hand, and these instructions on the left. The polish looked okay, though it was a bit streaky, and maybe not as shiny as a salon manicure. Unfortunately, immediately after I washed my hair two days later, all the polish started chipping off. It was obvious that water got underneath the polish. Also, in spite of already being perhaps 50% chipped off, it was still a bit of work to get the rest of it off. Pros: at $12, it's cheaper than a Shellac manicure Cons: at $12, it's still a waste of money.

2-Alarm Fire Destroys Mai's Restaurant in Midtown R.I.P. Garlic Chicken. It wasn't even on the 10-page menu. It's what my friend Mariana always ordered, so I followed suit (for 13 years).

Awesome Dawson was the only person elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame this year . Way to redeem yourselves after eight years, fuckers .

After all these years we've been together, you're still recommending Michel Buble for me?

I LOVE Halloween. I've been thinking about our Halloween party since school started. I've been talking about Halloween decorations to everyone I see. Just so you know my feelings on the subject. Because this right here? It bugs the shit out of me. Every time I drive by this house, I think about this . [DON'T click that link, Letitia.] Is it just me? Am I being too sensitive?
