the zelda haircut

Can I just publicly say that my friends are the best? This has been a difficult week, but they helped make it more manageable. Jaime gave me a Justin Timberlake bobblehead. Karinsa, Trevor, Ann, and Chris gave nice e-mails and phone calls. Eric gave me a gold star. Henry called to say that he liked the vegan cookies. Matt and Jen shared their Kleenex. Robyn gave me a big hug. Kate sent acorns (!) in the mail. Thank you all.

Aaron O came up with a name for that popular indie rock hairstyle. You know the one: girls color their hair black, cut it short, and spike it upwards at a 45-degree angle. "Man, I hate that Zelda haircut," he said. I assumed he meant Zelda Fitzgerald, but he explained that it was an allusion to The Legend of Zelda. Now you, too, can identify the Zelda haircut, and if you have the Zelda, please note that it was not I who professed disdain for it.

The Justin Timberlake doll is actually slightly scary. He sits atop the computer monitor, watching over the U.S.S. Acorn—a wax submarine souvenir from the time Kevin and I went to the science museum. Ten half-inch-high squirrel figures (presents from Jess) lord over their ship; there were eleven, but one of them has made the long trek to Wicker Park, where she now stands guard over an organ. Here, with every word that is typed, Justin's goateed head bobs just a little, so that he looks like a mildly epileptic pop superstar.

Do you ever read The Source? It's a decent magazine. Why don't more people read The Source?
