Eyebrow raised in salute.

Roughly twice a year I get my hair cut and coiffed by a lovely woman, a business person who owns her own salon.

She listens to what I want, makes suggestions and prunes my hair so I can style it with my fingers. Since it can be gnarly, as well as curling and flipping in odd directions. it's a demonstration of her skills that the cut grows out nicely and requires no daily fussing.

This time she convinced me that my (also gnarly) eyebrows would benefit from a judicious weeding. This involved the application of warm wax around the imaginary perimeter of a normal eyebrow line, the firm pressing of a small cloth, and many merciless yanks.

After the swelling subsided - about 24 hours later - I observed the results. Who knew that brows, much like the berms along rivers, need something to anchor them? The removal of those sparse, wandering wisps precipitated un glissement de terrain.

The upside is that one of my eyebrows is quite mobile and often emphasizes what I'm thinking and saying. So now when I raise that brow, it is a perfectly defined, expressive arch instead of a fuzzy caterpillar wriggling between my forehead and my eye.

This calls for such salute. Is it my imagination or is Ezrant's apology a wee bit ... grudgy?

The Grudge.

In today's blogpost from C. C. - Canadian Cynic: Thanks, but I've found someone new - there's a confirmation that Stevie Spiteful will dump Michaëlle Jean.

From here:

She kept Harper dangling for a couple of hours in December 2008 before acceding to his request to prorogue a Parliament that had lost confidence in him rather than granting his rivals a shot at governing through a coalition. It was a turning point for Harper, who, sources say, thought his request should have been "a routine matter."

Key words in that article speak to Stevie Spiteful's MASSIVE ability to hold a grudge. Plus she appears to be more popular than he is.

Many progressives are very angry with her because she allowed putative King Stevie's second 'request' for prorogation. But I think that, in the absence of viable arguments from the Opposition in Parliament making a case for a refusal, she had to accede to his demand.

So, wouldn't it be deliciously ironic if the Liberal Party of Canada dumped Iggy and recruited Michaëlle for their next leader?

Just saying.
