So I bought all this Lush crap, and I am revisiting that special Lush feeling I get every time I break the bank and buy something of theirs: namely, an overwhelming sense of guilt every time a piece accidentally crumbles off the soap bar or I drop some foam down the drain. Ahhhhh, expensive crap, I was not meant for you.

On the plus side, it really does kind of WORK. My hair no longer feels greasy and stiff from the hard water in my shower! And Angels on Bare Skin really is a LOT better for my face than my old St. Ives Apricot Scrub. I've been using it for three days, and today I feel like, and I think you know what I mean when I say this, I feel like when I touch my face I'm touching parts of my body I should not be touching in public.

And now for that recurring section, Today In Pete Wentz! I don't speak French, but I've been assured by at least three French speakers that the accent on the cover of Folie a Deux is on the wrong way. To quote swanswan, "à à à à à à à à not á!!!! THE SHORTCUT ON YOUR PUTER IS CTRL + ` then A!!!!" OH MY GOD, THIS IS GOING TO BUG ME A LOT. They better fix that shit before it goes to press or I will - I don't know, but I'll be MAD. >:(

The first issue of Transformative Works and Cultures was published today. I don't talk about it a lot these days, but this kind of academic work on fandom by fans is still fascinating to me. I support the Organization for Transformative Works, and yet I think this publication is interesting no matter what you think of OTW. It's peer-reviewed and polished and readable, and while I haven't gotten to all of the articles yet, I think Francesca Coppa's piece on vidding should be required fannish reading. It's so fucking interesting, seriously, READ IT. I have wanted an academic journal like this for years, and I am just endlessly psyched to see where it goes next.
