So that's why I forgot where I put my keys.....

Brilliant

North Korea has launched an intensive media assault on its latest arch enemy - the wrong haircut.

A campaign exhorting men to get a proper short-back-and-sides has been aired by state-run Pyongyang television.

The series is entitled Let us trim our hair in accordance with Socialist lifestyle.


I think my favourite part is "long hair makes you dumb".

Furniture lust. Feel free to move along.

Ross and I, while waiting to pick up John at his school yesterday, stopped by the Wood You in New Port Richey.

They have a lovely, lovely wood table there that I completely and totally covet.

It's a "gathering table". (That one is the mission style. At the store in NPR we saw the farmhouse style. Personally I prefer the mission.)

It's 36 inches tall, and the chairs are correspondingly lengthier in the leg. When the leaf is in it, 54 inches square. I figure I could put 8 people around it.

But the *best* part? Because of the height and size of it, it would make a *fantastic* cutting table (with, of course, some cutting mats.)

I want the table so so badly. It has all the benefits of a large round table, plus some extra ones besides.
