I just found out the super racist, sexist, and homophobic "Duck Dynasty" family and their bigoted fans basically won their PR war and A&E has caved to the call of money and is keeping the show on the air.
Yea yea the merchandise plays the hillbilly thing for laughs. I work with hallmark cards, i've seen what they say.
It doesn't change what Phil said in his GQ interview, or that the others backed him up in that.

i do nothing with my spare time
I am still here. Hours at work went up cuz of holiday shopping. Work is now open til midnight every night until xmas (retail has no concept of Christmas) so ugh. And I had to work thanksgiving too. And otherwise I'm shopping! Some Christmas shopping, but mostly shopping for me. The xmas gift sets are such great ways to try new things!
Hi, my name is Honor, and I have a makeup addiction. I spent about $50 each on my Bro and his future bride... and way more than that on myself. I just don't have a lot of people to shop for. Immediate family only, and sometimes not even that. We grew up poor so gift-free Christmases were (and are) not unusual. I got a lipstick for Mom and gave it to her already cuz like I said Christmas is not about presents in our house. I took an old beloved lipstick of hers to Sephora and tried to match it. I got pretty close. The Dior lipstick I found was a bit more shimmery but otherwise a good match. Ofc Mom freaked at the price and yea $31 is insane for a single lipstick (I tend to stick with the value sets where I get 4 lippys for about $25 or so) but Mom goes through makeup so slowly it will take her 5 years to use that Dior up. And ofc now I want a Dior for myself. Or a YSL just because the tubes are pretty. Like wtf is my problem? Those major$$$ lipsticks are all packaging! So little product in those thick heavy tubes! And it doesn't help that Sephora mailed me a "get $20 off your next $50 or more order" card. Omggggggg......
Michiru (Sailor Neptune) has a cosmetics addiction so I guess that's the one thing I have in common with her. I don't think the anime mentions her love of makeup though. I think it's the manga, or maybe one of the artbooks. I don't remember. It was cute though. I do remember in the manga she used her Deep Aqua Mirror as a regular mirror to put on lipstick. I found that funny. All we need now is Haruka using her Sword to chop vegetables. I think in the first Ninja Turtles movie there was a scene of Casey using Leonardo's sword to chop something, so it's not that strange an idea.
Omg that reminds me! I found some kickass Firefox addons that let me dowload off of youtube! I now have all the Japanese Sailor Moon episodes squeeeeee!! The subtitles often had to be dowloaded in a separate file but it all works. I have this thing called VLC on my computer and it plays both video and subtitles at once. I just have to manually tell it which subtitle file goes with which video. It took a few days but now I had ad-free copies which is sooo wonderful cuz the person who posted them was running like 4 ads per episode, and they were the loud talking ads too. So annoying! And excessive! He didn't even make the vids! The hardworking fans at Sailor Moon Center did! Unless he was donating his ad money to them then he had no right to run that many ads. Anyway....
I also dug out that Benefit Cosmetics advent calendar I bought last month. And yes I'm being good and only opening one door a day. It's oddly fun to have an advent calendar again. Ofc some items are duplicates that I already had, but not all. And either wayi haven't used anything yet. I figure Christmas Day will be when I empty it and take it apart. The. Box is solid. I'm hoping I can find some clear plastic or something and make a jewelry tray. I might wear my jewelry more often if I knew what I had! I think most of it is typical childhood stuff that I'm just too sentimental to let go of, but I do remember some nice pieces buried in that jewelry drawer. I just need to get the grown up pieces out of the drawer to where ican see them! I've been trying to test the Benefit eyeshadow primer but I keep rubbing my eyes before checking progress. Though it seems no one makes an oil mattifier that can handle my greasebucket forehead. My forehead looks like it's melting right now. Oh! And I bought my first retinol cream! I chose Philosophy's Help Me cream since it seemed gentle according to reviewers. Did a patch test on a thin skinned spot of my stomach and no irritation. Lately my stomach makes a better test spot than my upper arms. Probably because I keep banging my arms on crap at work but the stomach stays undamaged.
Have I babbled enough? Yeesh...I just go on and on and on. Just like my insane makeup collection! Good night!
