I go to "hair appointment," "hairstylist appointment," or "hairstylist's appointment."

An appointment to do hair or get it done. An appointment with or regarding a hairstylist. An appointment that belongs to the hairstylist.

The weird part is that appointments are mutual, so they "belong" to all.

New Blind Date with Death. Marina's job is to keep Dan distracted until ten. Instead they pass a panic attack back and forth like the world's worst party favor. Spy thriller where the most dangerous thing is two people who know exactly where each other's buttons are.

New Herpetology of the Apocalypse! We lived through the SBAHJening & are back to Homestuck. Old novels, Doctor Who tangents, more sylladex chaos. Also Nyan Cat turned 15 on the day we recorded this. Which is uhhhh...just slightly unnerving. As you do.

Asshole Mitigation Plan: Know Thyself.

Two brothers, one cake. The older one cuts...but the younger one picks, because "fair" looks different when the same brother who cuts also picks first.

Objectivity is just an idea. Sweating over that cake? Is not.

New Herpetology of the Apocalypse/Homestuck commentary ep! We finally finished the SBaHJ side comics and had to talk about anti-memes, Poe's Cask of Amontillado, and the DARE program to get there. It's a long one. We regret nothing.

Blind Date with Death Ep 10. Marina feeds Dan distracting octopus while his phone buzzes a warning. Logan rolls a coaster across a cozy kitchen counter as an old boss confesses she helped him hide a murder--and he never knew. The urge to trust, embedded in lies.

New Herpetology of the Apocalypse! Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff, part 1. Turns out there's a lot of deep thought structuring the nonsense, and nonsense structuring the deep thought. Everything from Borges to the Panasonic Blu-Ray song (99 dolllars).

Neat! I like the promo idea.

I do have a correction: the volume is Amazing Monster Tales Book 1: Dawn of the Monsters, but it's probably not vital to shove the whole thing on a cover :P
