My order has been sitting in the warehouse for 5 days. This is highly unusual. I've been using this product for over a decade. I submitted a customer service ticket and haven't heard back. It was maybe 4 or 5 hours ago.

I'm a little worried about what that means for the company. This particular shade is not available on Amazon, although it does look like some other health food sites have it. I'm wondering if the company is struggling? I hope not. They've been around a long time and I've always had good results.

The cover gray product is henna and then a "botanical blend." Not sure what I'll replace it with if they're not going to make it anymore.

I guess this was written because they anticipated the new show going forward. Otherwise it's completely out of left field.

Published in 1997

Completely normal recipes with pictures and quotes from the show. Great thrift store find.

I had no idea these existed until today. It's a series of four choose your own adventure novelettes called Stake Your Destiny, set in early season 2. All written by different authors.

The first one was written by Robert Joseph Levy, the author of the very popular Go Ask Malice. I haven't read that one yet but it is highly praised on this sub. You can find both on Open Library.

The prologue is off to a dark start- an intelligent, well liked and hard-working Sunnydale student, Diana, commits suicide with a letter opener. We are given the impression something supernatural is going on. This is the third suicide this month at Sunnydale. The Scoobies begin investigating.

This book is written as if you are Buffy and you make choices accordingly.

There is a demon possessing people. It's causing them to commit suicide. There is also a cult connected to the demon in town. While investigating the cult I discover Drusilla and Spike have a hostage. I attack, hoping to free the hostage. I'm hypnotized by Drusilla, killed by Spike and Dru then turned into a vampire. I lasted all of ten minutes.

There are some fun little details from the shows, like Angel liking Barry Manilow.

A few weeks ago I rode the Carolinian from New York City to Charlotte. We ended up having a 2-hour layover in DC because of bridge work on the Potomac. This wasn't announced until we approached DC. But it ended up being pleasant.

The National Postal Museum was right beside Union Station. So I took the chance to stroll around during the layover. I can't say it's the most interesting of all the Smithsonians but it was a nice bonus to the trip. You get a free postcard you can mail from the museum too.

In 1997 Jim (pictured here yellow) was possessed by the spirit of a hyena. He ate the school principal.

Unfortunately this must have triggered a series of events that trapped him in the township in 2022.
