“ Definitely an up-do. Maybe like a kind of messy bun. I’m thinking—and stop me if this doesn’t make any sense—but a kind of homesteader vibe? Like a kind of “Little House on the Prairie,” “I’m gonna stand my ground and don’t mess with me or my kin” kind of deal? But, like, sexy. Like, it basically says, “I’ve got a ton of stuff to do, like shuck corn, and muck out a barn, but I’ve still managed to retain a femininity that glints in the most attractive and unexpected ways.” Like, picture a lady standing in a field with her dress flapping nobly in the wind, and maybe she’s holding a basket of wheat and squinting into the distance, and she’s like, Oh man, when is he gonna return, because I’ve borne so much already? Except I don’t want to look all weathered, just, like, super pretty but also like I have a ton of inner reserves? Does that make any sense? No? O.K., let me put it this way. Have you ever had a watercolor teacher who is, like, a handsome older lady with all this effortless grace who always piles her gray hair on top of her head in the same way, with a few tendrils hanging down, because she just doesn’t have time for anything else? And she always wears a floppy denim shirt and you know her house has all this tasteful Southwestern stuff in it, and maybe she had an affair with a jazz musician and has seen a lot of sadness but she still has a playful spark in her eye and gives really frank hand jobs. Is this clarifying anything? ” -

Tylenol Found to Reduce Anxiety Over 'Existential Uncertainty and Death'

Researchers at the University of British Columbia say they’ve discovered yet another use for Tylenol besides breaking a fever and relieving pain: Reducing anxiety associated with “thoughts of existential uncertainty and death.” Published in the journal Psychological Science, the research involved…

Lili: i might have to start taking tylenol

me: WOW
One study noted by PsychCentral found that Tylenol can also be useful in reducing “the non-physical pain of being ostracized from friends.”

wish i knew about this in high school

Lili: LOL

me: also i love that they made them watch a david lynch clip

Lili: seriously. talk about something that will make a person feel dark

me: but i love even more imagining the room being filled with like, truck drivers and old grandmothers and frat dudes and the people conducting the study being behind the glass like, “heh heh, should we show them eraserhead or mulholland drive this time?”

Lili: oh god, i know

WHAT TO CHOOSE

me: “mulholland, the part where she finds her own dead body!! it will totally flip them out!! ” [knowing laughter]
