Chemistry
Him: The Aveeno soap you bought doesn't lather either. It's not even soap. It's "a colloidal oatmeal bar." Like a breakfast bar.
Her: Nothing that doesn't have Sodium Laurel Sulfate in it is going to lather like you want it to.
Him: SLS? Like from toothpaste?
Her: Yes, like from toothpaste. Take that Aveda shampoo, for example. That's why it doesn't lather up as thick as the cheap stuff.
Him: It does for me.
Her: But the lather doesn't puff up really, really big in your hands the same way. SLS is what makes stuff grow really big in your hands like that.
Him: So, you're saying penises have SLS in them? I think you might be full of shit.

A perfect story
Alex: Dad, guess what. My friend from school? He went to AUSTRALIA. And he told me all about it.
Dad: Oooh, what did he tell you?
Alex: Well, first, he went to Australia, and then, I don't know what happened next, and then, he CAME BACK.
Julie: [laughter]
Dad: You know what, Alex? Don't ever let anyone tell you that's not a perfect story.
Alex: [nods head solemnly] Okay.
The IA in each of us
Multitasking, schmultitasking.
Now that iOS4 is out of beta, non-developer iPhone users can finally take long-overdue steps to tame the unbearable chaos caused by years of nonhierarchical app icon organization. As if you haven’t guessed by now, I’m talking about app folders on the iPhone.
The new ubiquity of this awesome power promises to be a window into the souls of each of us....

flutternutt asked: Hey, I graduated SCAD in 1997, looks like you taught there right after I left. Sorry I missed that! What did you teach? I graduated with graphic design. I'm still here in Savannah though, for now.
Kind of an epilogue
Hark! My final cross-post from the Letterboxed project!
letterboxed:
First of all, if you’re reading this and you haven’t either read or watched (or both) all 12 episodes of the Letterboxed project, I highly recommend you stop reading, bookmark this page, and go take in all 12 episodes - in order. I know an hour is a lot of time to spend watching other people’s faces say stuff at a camera, but...
notactuallyme asked: I really enjoyed seeing your work when you posted some of your paintings last year, and would love to see more. Please?

Brilliant.
Insanely, insanely good.

I’m being wonderfully well fed and entertained. The state-bound ships are jammed, naturally, so I’ll have to be patient. I hope I’m back home in a month. Once home I’ll be given twenty-one days in the Hamptons, about $600, and—get this—safe housing!
I’ve too damned much to say, the rest will have to wait. But I’m desperate nonetheless for your reply.
Love,
your sister
