disgrace said to do it this way. Blame her.

Here. I'm lifting a few days worth of other blog's stuff and dumping it here. Cross-Posting Paradise.

Some posts from last week:

Hair! hair hair hair.

I'm going to get it all chopped off. 28 inches at
least, probably saved for some kind of hair donation thingy. So what to
do after that? A buzz cut? Curly locks/ Hair coloring and perms? Red?
Yellow? Black? I've never done any hair dying and this will be a
boredom coloring. I can live with my six or seven grey hairs--they've
only recently shown up and are still kind of interesting--but the rest
of the brown stuff is dull and boring.

Around here nearly every
last West Hartford mom goes for subtle blonde highlights. Tasteful and
chic. Should I give in, like Claudia has been begging me to do?** Or
maybe a nice jet black with violent violet highlights is the answer.
I'm tempted to make a statement but I'm not sure what hair actually
says. I could get the pats logo shaved into the side of my head like
the kid down the street. No doubt what he's trying to say.

The
last time I got a major chop job, maybe ten years ago? I had a firm
jawline. Not so much now. That's got to mean something in the styling
thing, but I'll let the professional tell me what is good and right for
my age.

Oh. The hairdresser person says no, not today. Okay. So much for that momentous occasion. Now I'll go make oatmeal instead.

**Claudia the neighbor says, oh, Kate, get it cut. You look like a peasant from the old country.

Ebooks don't die 

Learning Charity just got a cool button, too.
<--That's a link to the review. The novella's been out almost two
years and still gets reviewed now and then. Ebooks do make for a
different sort of world what with them books not going out of print. I
like it.
A check-mark goes in the credit column for ebooks.**

UPDATE: and yowza, would you look at that, Learning Charity just got another review. Interesting!

I
betcha part of the reason a review shows up two years later is the
ebook world's terrifying backlist--there are dozens and dozens of new
releases every week.
I'd say that's a mark in the debit column for ebooks.**
