Yes, Clarisonic. I'll let him know -- it's an investment, but probably worth it if it works well. I'll see if I like the BB Cream (I went with fructis) and check out meow. I'm not 100% in love with BM (or that acronym) so I'm up for a change when I run out of my current supply. I really hate wearing foundation, but I do because it keeps me from touching my face and causing more breakouts.

Lady nail thread reps: I'm trying to get my husband to join up on your thread.

haha it kills me in cosmetics-centric conversations, held on cosmetic-centric boards, when people are like "I love my BM!" or "Finally, my BM came today!" I'm five, though.
There's also a company named Victorian Disco, which gets abbreviated to "VD." Nothing has made me giggle like seeing people say "I need to get me some VD." with absolutely no awareness of the other meaning, since 'venereal disease' is two or three 'official' names ago, and a lot of people aren't aware of it at all. I just use "VDisco."

What's everyone's big Friday night plans?

I intend to get not-sober and watch In The Name Of The Father.

Good morning! Today we're going to try a new breakfast place that look like it has no-kidding American breakfast dishes like pancakes and omelets. They have coconut pancakes, mmm, I can't wait. Back in CA we went to the same breakfast place every Saturday. For 15 years. We were regulars and it was like a family and i miss that place so Hard. (If you're ever in Santee, CA, go to the Omelette Factory for breakfast. You wont regret it. Unless you're a vegan.)

Japanese breakfast (if you get it in a hotel anyway) is miso soup, natto, gohan (steamed rice) and fish. Delicious, except for natto which I cannot eat. It looks like baby poo feels like think snot and smells like really, really ripe feet. Can't do it.

Can paleos eat rice? I could not survive without rice.

In my job, a common acronym is DP. It means "direct path" and we deal with sound propagation in water. So I hear it a lot. And I giggle every time.

My boyfriend and I don't even know our anniversary, only that it was late November or early December. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

Breakfast is my favorite meal. There's a stand at the Saturday farmer's market that makes God's own biscuit sandwiches, and I purposefully go to bed at a decent hour Friday night so I can get there before they sell out of everything.

Pretty sure rice is verboten except in small amounts I guess. One of the tenets of paleo is that people eat an unhealthy amount of starchy low fibre/low nutrient carbs because Agriculture.

Same here. I know ours is also November or December-ish, but we've never actually celebrated it so I don't have an exact date.

I've been married for 17 years and been on the same continent for 6 anniversaries. We're pretty much over it. But that sucks if he knew how important it was to you and made a choice to stay. We just pick arbitrary day for fun dates and get super dressed up and tell the restaurant or hotel or whatever that it's a birthday. We're going to a crazy 8 seat molecular Tapas Bar and staying a 99 year old hotel in Tokyo Station for dinner on February 15th (because he works on Valentine's Day. Such is life.)

I don't watch TV. I strongly dislike TV talk and constant SPOILER ALERTS! I feel like my FB feed is constant talk of new shows and how awesome and exciting they are the first season or two, and then discussion of how they didn't live up to expectations and they're now complete crap. And then those same folks complaining the same about their relationships. So maybe it's correlation now that I think about it. Anyway, yes. Agreed.

I love TV chat, but only with other fans of the show in question. People always seem to want to talk to me about The Walking Dead, and are downright shocked that I don't care about it. I've only seen a few episodes and didn't care for them, but I feel like I'm an expert on that drat show.

Part of our friendship stemmed from mutual interests so I definitely like bookchat / tv chat / good things chat. It wasn't until they started obsessing over a bunch of media I actually dislike that I realized how annoying it is when people only want to talk about a Joss Whedon show that was around for one season and how they would totally make out with this one actress etc etc etc. Eventually I couldn't even really be friends with them because they didn't want to talk about or do things I might be remotely interested in.

I saw the first two episodes of The Walking Dead and I realized that there are way better shows out there. Also I'm getting sick of the "we kill everyone so it's an edgy show" trope.

I have a sweet, funny, smart and interesting friend. I love hanging out with the guy, but GODDAMN does he love to talk about zombies. Get a couple drinks in him and it's even worse. I had to lend him my Game of Thrones DVDs to get him to switch topics.

Now he texts me Game of Thrones-related jokes several times a week. One time he got bored at work and just texted me HODOR over and over. It's honestly preferable to the zombie chat, though.
