So yesterday I got a kind of nasty email from someone on ebay. I sold her a carseat, and it hasn't arrived after almost two weeks.

Hey--I know, I wouldn't be happy, either, but the thing is, I am not *personally* responsible. Like, I'm not here hanging onto the carseat. I don't see any reason to be personally unpleasant, ESPECIALLY since I apologized (out of empathy--again, I don't see how my personal shortcomings--and I have many--resulted in the non-delivery of this package) AND I offered to return her money.

But it's like what she wants is for me to suffer. Like, an appropriate response on her part is to hope I get cancer or something.

I've scored some great stuff on ebay, but I feel like there's been a little shift from regular people selling their unworn cashmere sweaters to people who are hardcore about the business aspect of it. People are also pretty anal about these ratings, the feedback. The woman is threatening me with bad feedback--gasp! Whatever. Get a life.

I'm watching Project Runway. I am possibly the least stylish person who loves fashion--and I'm watching a guy covered with tattoos cry with Tim Gunn. What I like about Tim and Heidi is that they are honest without treating people inhumanely. I hate watching people humiliate and make other people suffer.

SPOILER ALERT
Ok, are you effing kidding me? Lindsay Lohan is on Project Runway? She's a freaking train wreck, and I say that based strictly on her clothing choices. One word: leggings. More words: she designs a line of leggings. (Although, how much design goes into leggings?) I don't feel like there's anything about her sense of style I want to incorporate into my own, or that qualifies her to advise others. Ugh. This is disappointing.

None of the designers are standing out for me yet. It's early. I'm not feeling their joie de vivre yet. I think the winner always has a joie de vivre.

Oh, I think the guy who cried is going to win this one. He made it work!!
