Jack White is officially the acoustic form of crack. Icky Thump and Broken Boy Soldiers are both awesome albums.

Pedicures are sa-weet. I got foot rubbles the likes of which I had never known. They massaged my legs with sea salt and cleaned and polished and Frenched my toes (French manicured for all you pervs out there).
