We interrupt your regularly scheduled time-wasting to bring you this update from my ongoing taking photos to stylists series… Because three and a half months had passed since my last fateful haircut, my hair was the same length all over. I looked like a homely hedgehog. Not the look I was going for. Last Saturday, [...] 
October 24 through 31 is World Go Vegan Week, a celebration of compassion and a time to take action for animals. Today’s guest post is by Cheryl Breuer, a writer and vegan who blogs at Peculiar Girl.

Man, this Almay Smart Shade makeup is worthless. Either that, or I put all my makeup in a box under the car seat for our cross-country move, then forgot it for a few weeks.

I needed an outfit that would 1) allow me to sit on the floor gracefully 2) have a high enough neckline to prevent flashing anyone and 3) prevent me from sweating to death on the walk to my friend’s studio. Two out of three ain’t bad; [...] 
My mother doesn’t like wearing much brown; she says it makes her feel like a little brown wren. Having inherited her medium-brown hair, I sympathize— though neither of us are half so cute as a real wren. Troglodytes aedon There’s no competing with that. Today, I submitted job applications and [...] 
Today, a good friend took me out for lunch. This allowed me to talk with a lovely person AND eat delicious food AND wear interesting clothes AND leave the gosh darn house. Having been unemployed for slightly over a month, even leaving the house is more excitement than I can stand.
