shoe fetish
splurged on a shave and a haircut today. wish the haircut was a little more even which is why i splurged to begin with instead of going to the much cheaper place on st. marks. but i really like the place as barbershops go. and they do a fair amount of business so im not alone in thinking that. also, apparently there is no such thing as a trim. barbers only know "cut." get a pair of scissors in their hands and theres no stopping them.

the xxx extremely hot! warning on the label is no joke. i guess it's good if you like your mouth to burn. i add a tiny amount of this stuff to a (mild) salsa i really like and it's still fiery.
Flickr is now allowing for videos to be uploaded, but the max length can only be 90 seconds and they are calling them "long photos". Here's some thoughts on the form that might possibly be of interest to you animated gifers. Are short loops more like photos than video?

"There are large gaps in the research, which used a small pilot group. We cannot draw conclusions until a controlled trial is carried out."
