Diamond: Tilted Square

So, no matter how hard I try, I am simply inept at the game "Taboo." It's a bit of a pride issue by this point, because I've applied myself on countless occasions, and all to no avail. I'm not much for crosswords either, but I'd just feel like a conspiracy theorist-type if I mastered crosswords anyway. Regardless, I'm not one for synonyms. Can we all just decide to consider that a good thing? Precise diction is the goal, anyway.

I bought myself some Monoxodil today from CVS (not to be confused with nonoxynol) for my balding head. It's strange, about a year or two ago, the hairwomen started to recommend products for my hair. At first it was thinning. Now it's a precious resource. So, the last time I went to the hairwoman, she told me that I should use generic Rogaine (i.e. monoxodil) as it's mainly preventative, and I'm nearing that point where it could be too late. Moral: nobody wants a bald screenwriter either.

Oh, and if predictions are worth anying:
Iraq + 1-2 years + civil unrest = military coup, Pakistan style.
And then you really will have an overtly anti-American government funneling oil into bombs. (And sidenote, you go John Kerry for not crossing picket lines today.)

Spent the day craigslisting people so I can find an apartment in LA in the fall. I try to seem as normal as possible. Clean. Nonsmoker. Low maintenance. Quiet. Studious. Yes, I just thought of the generic international student and described him. And beyond that, cut it down from the bulky "devdoot" all the way down to "dev" for that faux-american flair.

It's mamo's birthday today, so happy birthday.
