When I was 18, I discovered that my eyebrows were unruly. Not only were they really hairy, but also they liked to migrate. You might be asking yourselves, “What did Michele do about it? What did she do about her eyebrows?” I did what any normal girl would do with unruly eyebrows. I started to comb them with a toothbrush.
Here’s the deal, back then I flat-out refused to buy a 10 dollar eyebrow brush. I was that cheap. Instead, I decided to employ an old toothbrush.
Yeah, I know, it’s really freaking gross. I did not primp the toothbrush before taking its picture. And I keep this one (I have two) in my gym bag. My eyebrows aren’t made up of long, red hairs. That’s my hair hair. It got mixed up and whatnot.
I have used a toothbrush to maintain my furry eyebrows for over a decade now. I’m so cheap; I have used an old toothbrush to comb my eyebrows instead of buying a 10-dollar eyebrow comb. But here’s the irony. When I’m at the gym and it’s time to pull it out to beat them into shape, I do so on the down low. Sometimes, I hide in the corner or bend down and let my hair cover the event. The damn toothbrush embarrasses me. I imagine being approached by naked ladies armed with sentences like, “Hey, what are you doing with that toothbrush?” So I hide from the naked people.
The question still remains, why not spend 10 bucks on an eyebrow comb and proudly comb my face pets? What’s wrong with me?

Every time someone updates their profile or signs up over at Self-Portrait Day their picture automatically moves to the top of the homepage. Which means that every time Tobyjoe and I have to go check something out, we must sign in and then our profile picture jumps to the top of the page. I have to admit, I’m kind of amazed at how many people I got coming in from that little Web site over the past week. I’m also really quite pleased with some of the people I have met on there after its re-launch. For example, I discovered Gravy Dave recently who lives in Raleigh and likes Indie Rock. Wojtek moved me with some amazing digital shots. (Don’t believe me? Click that link. I dare you.) And to think, I almost gave up on SPD at one point.

I bumped this post for two reasons. First, because I’m getting retro comments and they’re quite interesting. The second reason is because since having finished the film (I wrote this post hours after it was over) my thoughts and opinion has changed. I thought about this movie so much, I think I may have even changed my mind about it.

In the apartment we lived in on Saturday night, Tobyjoe moved the toilet in our bathroom for a reason I am unsure of. We had a few faceless visitors over at the time. The apartment had wall-to-wall carpeting the kind of carpeting that contains puffy raised sections, like carpeted clouds seen from above. Intermixed with the raised sections were bits of recessions almost like bodies of water. As a matter of fact, if one were to fill the carpet with a half inch of water, and it wasn’t immediately absorbed, it would fill the recessions leaving the puffy parts to rise above like little islands.

Remember this post? You know the one where some chick named “Glenda” said my name was spelled incorrectly and a small Internet fight broke out? Yeah, that was a good day. Anyway, Tobyjoe and I were watching the Food Network recently and a commercial came on about french cuisine. And low and behold, check this out.

This morning, I had my first ever stress test. I wrote about my heart rate before and have wondered if it might be too high for my age. Tobyjoe, who has a running heart rate of 165 (tops), has often suggested that I might just die of a heart attack when I run. When I tell people how high it goes, they often make a face. Apparently, my heart rate is a little higher than normal.

My scale decided that it was no longer an American. On Thursday morning of last week it began giving me my weight in stones. For no reason, mind you, it just stopped reading pounds. I figured that maybe it was just going to be British for one day, so I ignored it. Come Sunday, it was still reading my weight back to me in stones. I tried to kick it like I do most British to get them to work, but it still preferred stones. How’s a gal supposed to know if she’s getting skinnier when she has no idea how heavy 10 stones are? Is this because they were using pounds already for money? How big are these stones?
