Out to real world. Be back in 1 week.

Sorry guys. I had a post halfway prepared on Madeleine Albright, whom I got to meet last week, but then some life happened and it has not only slowed me down, but it's serious Life with a capitol "L" and I don't have the spirit this week to write on here with the lightheartedness I want this blog to have. I promise to be back next week in full ktb force with turkey and Madeleine Albright (no relation). See you soon!

Hypoallergenic Lotion: It's great! Unless you're allergic to lotion.

(or the wheat and oats inside the lotion and then you have to wash your hands twice as often to make sure you don't ingest it and all the washing just leads to chapped hands anyway and then you have to buy more lotion. I'm on to you, Aveeno.)

Failure to thrive

Both personally and professionally I am seeing this more and more: listless 20-somethings suffocating under a mountain of student debt and unable to establish any kind of career track. And, what's worse, the longer they (we) face indecision and rejection, the less the desire is to do so. We are turning into a generation of hipster barristas, life-long students, professional volunteers, and International English teachers. The one thing that's uniting us all is how completely clueless and hopeless we are regarding our futures.

HOWEVER, rejoice! All is not lost! We have our parents spare room and the internet so no matter how uncertain our futures may seem, at least our present is secure. That and the schadenfreude make life pretty ok.
