Last week turned into a work-at-homeathon, as whenever my allergies took a break from beating me up, my stomach problems took over the job. However, this week features both Rosh Hashanah and the Ig Nobel festivities, so style palettes will abound!

There won’t be a column over Labor Day weekend. so I think I’ll take that opportunity to make another little movie. I hope you all enjoyed the first one.

Also, for those of you who don’t follow my “Miss Conduct” blog, I’ve started posting there more frequently — links to news items, studies, or events related to social behavior. So you may want to check it out.

I’m trying to make an Xtranormal movie based on the third question (starring Queen Elizabeth and Gandhi). If I succeed, and you enjoy it, this may become a regular feature.
