Melissa put her finds up on Flickr. I think I have a thrift store hangover. So much of a good thing, not enough water.

Privacy
Logan: I hope you don’t mind, I made you a “friend” on Flickr.
Bryan: I don’t know if we’re close enough yet.
Me: I don’t really use those features. The only person who can see my family-only photos is Bryan.
Melissa: So you upload a lot of personal porn.
Me: Totally. Personal porn for Bryan and the entire team at Flickr, who we have brunch with once a month or so.
Melissa: Heather’s like, “Maggie! Someone hacked your account!”
Me: Uh… No. That’s my bush. It was supposed to be private. But… I guess you can look at it, or whatever.
Melissa: And you’ve tagged it maggiesbush.
Maggie: Oh yeah, all of them are tagged and cross-referenced. Like you have a personal collection of porn so huge it needs to be easily searchable.
Melissa: There’s like 400 tags on each photo.
Me: A lot of them are in Japanese. Korean. Like, “Is that… Hindi? Huh.”

Celebrity I’m Thinking of a Number
Our good friend Josh A. Cagan is a screenwriter who moved to LA just in time for the writers’ strike. Today, he made his debut at The Morning News. Go read his hilarious Letter From Hollywood.
Resolving Conflict Quickly
I just wrote a post on 43Folders about The Four Agreements. If you’re not familiar with 43Folders, it’s my friend Merlin’s productivity blog, and it’s pretty darn useful. Anyway, post excerpt:
I dread conflict. In fact, when I know a confrontation is imminent, it’s all I can think about. I mull it over when I could be labeling file folders, I ponder it while my inbox burgeons, while my 3×5 cards gather dust. Conflict is my productivity disaster.
Fortunately, The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz gave me a few significant tools for moving past conflict in any arena…
In My Free Time
I fantasize about learning this entire routine and dancing around the apartment in a fringey dress.
All Right
Let’s do this thing.
The Daiy Council
I open a package of sour cream and the foil beneath the lid reads, “Hugs are like smiles, the more you give the more you get.”
And then I ate a carrot stick.
Dirty Talk
Rachel: The size charts are weird.
Me: I’m usually a B, but I’m probably a C right now.
Bryan: Are you guys talking about boobs?
Me: No. We’re talking about pantyhose.
Bryan: Oh. Talk about boobs instead.
Me: Boobs, boobs, boobs. I love boobs. Boobs.
Rachel: I have two of them.
Bryan: You guys suck at this.
Rachel: Maggie has boobs.
Bryan: Warmer.
Maggie: Rachel also has boobs.
Rachel: Bryan and Ryan do not have boobs.
Me: But what they lack in boobs, they make up for in charm.
Bryan: Forget it.
Ryan: I’m gettin’ hot.
Secret Stuff, Awesome Stuff
You guys. Good stuff is happening for Mighty Mighty Media, otherwise known as the Publishing Empire Run from Our Living Room Couch. We’re making something new — exciting and new! — and next week I’m totally going to show you what it is. You cannot even wait.
In the meantime, Mighty Goods has been nominated for a Blogger’s Choice Award for Best Shopping Blog. (Woot!) Will you please go vote to help Mighty Goods reign supreme? There’s only one day of voting left, but it appears that we still have a shot at it.
Mighty Girl was nominated for Best Blog About Stuff, Best Humor Blog, and (awkwardly) Hottest Mommy Blogger. I’ve gotten exactly two votes for yummy mummy, but I am sure this is only because I didn’t actually post photos of my muffin top after just barely fitting into my pre-preggo jeans. Heather Armstrong is among those in the lead for Hot Mama, and I encourage you to vote for her. Because? Her cheek bones could cut glass. And? I’d like to mock her.
Also, it’s really nice to be nominated for stuff like this. Thanks you guys.
