I love/hate Lush

Lush, if you don't know, is a bath and body company out of the UK. They have a store in the Westlake center in Seattle. I went there to buy a shower gel last week and the clerk asked me what kind of hair I have. I told her it was dry and frizzy and she gave me a sample size of one of their solid shampoo bars. I tried it tonight and it's so much better than the stuff from Whole Foods I've been using. It's almost 10$ for a 3.5 oz bar, but it's supposed to last a really long time, so maybe it will not actually wind up costing that much more, if at all. The sample one they gave me doesn't even look any smaller. It's about an ounce I'd guess, so I'll see how long it lasts me. Usually my head itches after I wash my hair, but not this time. And my hair feels so smooth. It was the Trichomania one that they gave me. Smells coconutty. I want to try the solid conditioner too now. Maybe I can get them to give me a sample when I buy the shampoo bar.

I've been using Joel's old seriously crappy lap top since my computer died in June. I am looking for another one now. Probably on Craigslist. I'm kind of looking for an old classic iMac, though if I found a really good deal on a PC I wouldn't pass it up. I gave joel 35$ to pay for a year's membership with Flexcar so that once I find one I want I can actually go pick it up. Plus I need to go to IKEA. Really bad.

There's a vegetarian hot dog place by the convention center called Cyber Dogs which I have been trying ot get Joel to go to with me since I got here. We finally went yesterday and he really likes them, so maybe we'll go back soon. They have soy cheese there too. I got one with chili, salsa, avocado, soy cheese, and some other stuff on it. It was a huge amount of food.

I had a bar of Trichomania and it lasted about 6 months (it might have lasted longer but Elsie used it as soap and let it dissolve in the tub).
