On eyebrows - the missing, the plentiful, the mismatched

I have a million things I want to write about. I can't decide which thing to pick, though. Instead, I'll just make a bunch of random comments, through which there weaves no common thread. So don't try to find one. You may, however, try to find D.L. Hughley's eyebrows. I still can't.

I am going to kick things off with a common thread, though, and I'm aware of it - so don't everybody knock each other down to point it out at once. Seriously, stop shoving! While I'm discussing M.I.A. eyebrows, I'll discuss some that have reappeared - MINE! For about a year, I've had a problem with these weird lesion-things on the skin under my eyebrows, always near the arch, and they wouldn't heal unless I plucked the nearby hairs. As a result, I ended up with approximately four eyebrows, according to recent industry estimates. Scott found it extremely funny, and I don't think he's looked me in the eye for a year, because he can't stop looking at my prolific eyebrows. So I got in the habit of fixing the bald places with an eyebrow pencil, and even though it wasn't obvious unless you were an inch from my face, I still felt like one of those little old ladies who shave their eyebrows and draw them in.

Anyway, for the past couple of days, I've looked at myself in the mirror on my way out the door and was like, "Aaaaaack! I have inadvertently stolen Peter Gallagher's face!" Then I had to go tone down the eyebrow pencil.

Do you know what that means??

My eyebrows have grown back! They're back! The icky lesion-things have healed, allowing my gross, mangy eyebrows to fill themselves in. Wheeeee! The only thing that I can figure out is that this glorious copper serum from Platinum Skin Care did the healing. I've been using it for awhile and it makes me all radiant and crap. I can't get it anywhere near my mouth, though, or it's like I've been snacking on pennies. Blech.

Oh, what the heck - let's talk some more about eyebrows. Specifically, the episode of Friends with Joey's mismatched eyebrows (The One Where Monica Sings, episode 9.13). That whole episode is hilarious, but I especially love this scene:

Joey:  Hey. I need your help.
Chandler:  Wow, it seems serious. What seems to be the problem, Ashley Judd?

Joey:  Okay, look. I'm getting new headshots taken, all right? So I went to get my eyebrows shaped ...
Chandler:  I'm sorry - moment to make fun of THAT, please.
Joey:  Maybe it's sissy, but I'll still pound you in the ground. Okay, it hurt so bad I could only let her do one eyebrow and now ... they don't match!

Chandler:  It's like a baby caterpillar chasing its mama.

Joey:  You've gotta help me out, okay? Look, I have a magic marker. I want you to fill in the skinny one so I don't look stupid for my pictures.
Chandler:  Okay, first of all? This is green.

Poor Joey. But then, Chandler painlessly plucked the second one to match:

Heh. Scott laughed so hard at that eyebrow scene that I thought he was going to blow out an eyeball. I love when he gets all tickled like that. Huh. It seems that this post did have a common thread, and that thread was an eyebrow. Maybe I'll be random later.
