How to make real corn tortillas at Digs Magazine.

The Spam museum opened! I must visit!

I love the television show Northern Exposure, I miss Northern Exposure. Last I heard the Hallmark Channel had the right to show it, but who has every heard of the Hallmark Channel? I signed the petition to get Northern Exposure on DVD (link via loobylu) - but I suspect signing up for notice of release at Amazon will do quite a bit of good as well. "You'll also be voting for this release; we'll let the studio know how many customers are waiting for this title." I know for a fact that the number of people who sign up for pre-orders are watched (this is a bit of a longer story however). So go on, let Amazon know you're interested.

It has come time - I'm going to use a self tanner for the first time. I want to wear knee length skirts, but my legs are so desperately pale even I don't want to look at them. You can see my blue veins and any sign of leg hair growth, it's not pretty. I went to the drug store to buy a cheap one for the first try - but they were all "deep" or "medium to deep" - none were light. Is this like the size of fast food french fries, there is no Small/Light? I definitely don't want anything close to a medium, it would be ridiculously obvious. So what do I do? Leave it on for a shorter time? I read somewhere that mixing it with moisturizing lotion will make it lighter, would that work? And, while I'm at it, any brands you recommend (ones I could find at a Walgreens)? I feel so un-girly when I come up against something new like this.

loobylu is making a fabulous bag, take a look

It's a dream of mine too - a photo documented trip to American Science and Surplus!

Squib was kind enough to share a bunch of links to bead stores on the web. Say thank you, thank you!
