DS got his hair cut today. This was absolutely necessary because he wanted it trimmed last night and I made him look like a girl. He looks better now. Much better. DD got to tell the story of how Mommy screwed up her hair when *she* was 4 and so she had to get her hair cut at the hairdresser.

My cousin is a bitter, bitter woman. At a shower for another cousin, she made it clear that all the women in my grandmother's generation were nasty old bitches who deserved to die. Honestly. Why hold a grudge that long? I didn't ask what her problem was, but it's probably that 30 years ago, she married a black man. No-one cares now, but at the time, I hear it caused a stir.

At the same shower, sister-of-the-bride was asking me about yet another cousin. When we got to the part where other cousin and her boyfriend don't live together and have been dating for 20 years, she stared at me blankly for a long, uncomfortable time. "It's their life and their choice," I said. She didn't say "Oh, yeah" or anything. I found that odd. Maybe she'd like me to comment on her string of live-in boyfriends.

I think Gordon Ramsay is hot. Seriously.

Cogeco changed the channel that Food Network is on and now I don't get it anymore. I can't watch "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares" anymore. Or Good Eats. I love Alton Brown. Damn you, Cogeco!!!
