So after the freaking blizzard that was never called a blizzard (aka the whole damn month of january) I finally got my car dug out and got to the bank and deposited my Christmas money. And then I went shopping! Actually first I went to cellphone service provider to finally drop off my paystub. The fuckers won't alter the last bill or this current billing cycle to reflect my employer-negotiated discount. Assholes.
But then it was MALL TIME!!
I hit two stores, Icing (which I think was onced called Icing by Claire's?) and Sephora. Most of my spending was at Icing. I got 4 pairs of earrings (one was even lil rose earrings like Sailor Jupiter's) and a crapload of pretty hairtoys. Mostly pretty clips that can decorate my little buns, but also some jeweled hairpins. Lots of flowers. I even found a lovely silk rose on a clip. a rustic brown headwrap and a cute casual ribbon with fake jewels headwrap. And bows on clips. And nearly half the hairtoys were clearanced! And the ones that were not clearance were still buy 1 and the 2nd is half off. And the real cool thing is how they did the bogo pricing... if I got 2 $8 bow and 2 $4 bow, they priced an $8 and a $4 half off, instead of having both $8s be full and just halving the $4s. How awesome is that? Plus!! Many of my clearance items had a second stacking clearance that wasn't marked on the tags. Which in some cases made a huge difference. It was a $3 flat rate for several different items. The hairpins were marked were marked $4.25 so slight drop there, but my pretty sparkley headwrap was marked $8.25 but it was included in the list so it was actually $3!! Score!! Also got this weird thing called hairagami (marked 4.50 but was $3) and some fake hair extensions in bright pink. The clip-in variety. I already had a green one so now I have pink too! Oh! And a sparkley evening handbag that had a full body chain strap hidden inside it. Bro is getting married next year and I already have my fancy purse! I hate carrying things so I'm sooo happy I found such a pretty cross-body bag. It was marked $13 but rang up $9 so score again.
All told I got 22 items for just under $100 and that total included the 7% tax rate. Then ofc I hit Sephora on my way back to my car, because I am an addict and always conveniently park by the Sephora entrance, and hit their clearance racks. Even tho the highest priced item was $7 my bill was still $32 before tax. I am a shopaholic! Has anyone seen Superwoman's signs of a shopaholic video? Goto youtube right now and put "superwoman shopaholic" in the search bar and it will pop up. It is soooo me right now. I spent way too much and instead of being mad at myself for wasting money, I feel flippin fantastic.
Oh and I also finally got a new microSD card for my phone. That wasn't covered by the Christmas money though. But it will be nice to be able to take pictures again. And I. Need to clear out my shower before I can wash my hair tonight. Wanna hear a funny storyy? Ok so Mom just got addicted to Battlestar Galactica. She's been up all night a few times watching it on Netflix. So ofc she's not doing any dishes. she eats and then just plops it in the sink. So lately I use this plastic bin to wash my cups and water bottles in my shower, cuz my sink isn't big enough and it would take way to much time to make the kitchen sink usable. I'm weird that way. If I get in a dish washing mood I want to make the sudsy water right away or I say "forget it". I put my dirty dishes on the counter. I hate clearing and cleaning the sink before I can wash dishes. Especially since the counter beside the sink is half the size of the sink itself. I'd be piling dirty dishes on the stove if I cleared the sink! And many of those dishes would be wet since the tap both drips and still gets used no matter. How full the sink is! Could we compromise and say at least half of the sink should be clear at all times? Egad!

in America it pays to be bigoted :(
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!

makeup babbling
Ok so I got sick thanks to Mom being contagious, and I had to work anyway, so I've been out of it the past 4 or 5 days but yesterday and today I've been in that horrid spot of where my body is all "don't get up, don't be vertical, don't do anything or else" and my brain is all "omg I am so bored" so today I have been sitting in bed with a pile of cheapass makeup on one side (cuz my good stuff was in its proper corner and being upright was dangerous) and a pack of makeup remover wipes on the other.
And I've just been watching makeup vids on my phone and practicing various looks. Here's the one I'm watching most recently: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps7CCjpP1Pw I like it because it shows a little bit of everything. Contour and highlights, and she mentions products that I actually recognize. I even have some of them. I have a Tarte lipsurgence crayon and I do love it. It goes on smooth and soft and has a slight minty cooling feel and a slight minty scent. And it's so moisturizing! . But I recognize every product she showed in that vid.
I also watched videos that use liquid foundations to do their contouring. Whoa! But as scary as those vids look, that's also what I've had the best luck with. Somehow I don't have a good contour powder. All my bronzers are either too shimmery or too orange or both. Or they just look muddy no matter what. Probably too yellow. But I have a lot of foundations from the old marykay starter kit that absolutely don't match my skin tone. But somehow when used as stripes under my usual foundation...magic happens. I'm getting the hang of this! And I also found out that the ugly Presumptions R Us mineral sunscreen that turns me Casper-white can be blended to make the beige foundations light enough for me. This is great to help me use up my stash.
the last look I tried before the sun went down (I always do foundation in natural light) was that cheapass sunscreen (hiya Casper) then streaks of a dark bronze foundation (darker than what Beyonce would wear) on the sides of my nose and hollows of my cheeks. And then I painted on a beige foundation. About 2 shades darker than my natural skin tone. And something about this combination is just great. The sunscreen lightened everything up, the bronze turned into gentle shadowing, and the beige suddenly matched my neck. I must have done this blend like 8 times before I got it. But I got it! I have successfully recreated this blend twice. But ugh my face! Makeup wipes are great in a pinch, but nothing compares to a good scrubbing. I think I'm getting a pimple on my chin. Anyway now I'm practicing eye stuff, specifically the shape she does in that video. I've seen that eyeshadow shape in other videos and I just can't get it.I'm not lining it up right or something. Ugh. Physically I'm tired. Mentally I'm wide awake. I work again on Friday. Why do I only get sick on my days off?!?

i can haz junk?
And the womanlies started! Oh. Yay. >:(
So I am being a piggy mcbingey with a bigass bag of cheetos, a bag of assorted hershey minis halloween mix, and a package of triple double oreos. What diabetes risk? What family heritage. Factors? Pffft gimmie junk food!
And on top of that Mom has infected me with whatever was making heer hack her lungs out. I have the sore throat now. So I am in bed with my cat and water and fleece. This sucks. No cleaning. No drawing. Just headach and cramps and junk when I'm awake.
I did make that sephora order before I got sick. I got the Benefit Cosmetics Advent Calendar. Squeeee! It should arrive tomorrow. It's my first Advent calendar since elementary school. I've already tried a few Benefit brand products and liked most of them so here's a change to try a lot more. Cuz this advent calendar does have cheap chocolate, it has sample size makeup! Heehee! I haven't decided if I'll be good and open onne little door a day during december like intended. I was pretty bad about the childhood chocolate advent calendars too... altho once the plastic was removed the cheap chocolate didn't taste as good after a few days, so there was that.
And ofc I'm already looking at other fun gift sets that are really just gifts to myself cuz retail therapy and I'm selfish. Altho to be fair Mom is already saying she has too much stuff. I asked her if she wanted anything in this year's marykay order and she said "no way! I haven't even half used up what I already have!" And she doesn't wear makeup so she still has that huge Color Workshop makeup kit someone (her boyfriend?) got her years ago. And she still has the 5th Avenue set I got her last year. Oh! There's this old lipstick she loves loves loves and marykay stopped making it years ago. Called Cantaloupe and she loves the lack of shimmer and how it's a kind of slight orangey brown. She's had it for years. I think Fresh Sugar liptintedbalm Honey might be a colormatch. I have a tiny Honey from a giftset I bought myself last year to try the Fresh tinted balms (I love them... buttersoft and have spf) and I want to keep the Honey cuz I like it too but I can still use my mini to check the color matching. And then i'd just get her the fullsize tube. It's something I know she wants (that old lipstick is nearly gone) and it. Won't overload her cuz it's replacing. Something she uses and it. Has spf and ugh I wish she'd wear sunscreen more often! Dunno about anyone else... Christmas was never much about gifts in my family. But I want to get something for Mom cuz.... Mom! Oh and she still pays my bills.
But the best gift I could give her would be the gift of not worrying about me. So why am I still sitting on my ass about writing? I've got a better chance at success there then I'll ever get at Presumptions R Us. Bad me! Stop being lazy! Ow, my throat!
Oh hey, question for legal peeps... Samantha did something thaat has me confused and a bit worried. Remember how I said eventually I wanted to make string versions of some of her songs? Well a fan of hers uploaded her Live with Kelly performance to youtube. And when a few days ago I went to watch it again youtube had the video unavailabe due to copyright notices by Samantha. She got it taken down over copyright. Even tho it was her own live performance on a show she was guest on. And I'm confused if she can do that to my cover? Because when you perform on someone else's show.... doesn't the show own that copy of the performance?
am I making any sense?

when *Mich* says you havent posted in a while.....
....you know you really lost track of time!
Hi all! I'm good. Wasting time as usual. Did you know there were Sailor Moon musicals?! Sera Myu and they have some serious cuteness! I haavent seenn a whole musical yet... just fans posting their favorite scenes. Many are of Nao and Yuhka, who were a highly respected & beloved Uranus&Neptune duo. They played off each other really well. The fandom websites also claimed a song, Destined Couple, was specifically written for this duo. I've been reading through the old WikiMoon archives a lot. There was even a live-action Sailor Moon tv show! And ofc I totally missed out on the dolls and toys. I want a Uranus and Neptune doll pair waaaaa! *sigh*
Anyway as I was sying I have just been wasting time. When I'm not looking up Sailor Moon stuff I'm reading dumb celebrity gossip or window-shopping on sephora website. They're starting to post their xmas gift sets and omg want! Even tho I really don't need..... want!! So I'm telling myself that if I can do something productive during the day I can shop that night. Yeeaaa we'll see how that goes... but I did clear out my makeup corner again (which showed me yet. Again that I do nnot need any more) so maybe I'll make one order for like 1 large giftset (free shipping at $50 so I aim for smallest amount over 50) and I've already decided what the first order will be. But I better make it soon! Probably Sunday night. I work this weekend but not Monday so I can stay up Sunday if I'm not too tired. Shopping from my phone is problematic. I should probably get a new phone but I love this tiny phone so much! I'm totally ok with shopping from the computer... shopping from my phone would just mean I spend more money that I don't have! I need the restriction of an older phone!
Oh! There was also a work development... possibly. For the past 2 weeks now, coming up on week 3, I've been moved to the greeting cards section instead of makeup counter. I am totally ok with this. I don't have to deal with idiot customers as often, I don't have some damn sales goal, and the greeting cards are considered a speciality section so I'll also be harder to replace. The problems arehow there are no maps of the section, so I play it by eye, and when cards get mispalced (which happens every 10 minutes cuz customers are assholes) there is no locator program so I can't scan a card and get its location. So again w playing by eye. And if some dumbass fat coworker throws away a card's reorder slip? It's fecked. Yea... fatass coworker did the cards before she went on medical leave and I took over. Now that fatass is back she keeps sticking her nose into my aisle.
If all I do is cards now then yay because it's less stressful (when fatass stays out anyway) so here's hoping this works in my favor. Last week I finished the cards early and found something else to do... the scanouts on the candy aisle. Princess Nepotism "does" that aisle so ofc it was a mess. I hadn't done a scanout in years so I hope I did it right. Can't be worse that her though. She doesn't even scan the empty slot. She just puts the sticker on it. She doesn't pull her section of the stockroom either. I swear her daddy being a manager is the only reason she has that job.
There is also a chance that more favoritism, maybe even racism, is going on. Our longtime senoir makupgirl is black, and she's been there about as long as I have. Well there's a new girl, an older, very white girl, who seems to be on the fast track to take over that senior makeupgirl slot. This older white chick was never scheduled to be front register...and everyone starts up there. I did, the current senoir makeup did, even Princess Nepotism did. But not this chick. I thought maybe she was a transfer from another store and had the seniority to dodge up front.... but then I had to show her how to prinnt signs and price tags and even do her training videos. Basically she knew nothing about the work computer. So how could she be a transfer? So I need to keep an eye on that. If my friend is leaving of her own free will then that's one thing, but the younger black coworkers have indicated that that's not the case.
What the hell. Shit like this is not supposed to happen. But then people get harassed for being gay too so why am I surprised?

Oh! There was also a work development... possibly. For the past 2 weeks now, coming up on week 3, I've been moved to the greeting cards section instead of makeup counter. I am totally ok with this. I don't have to deal with idiot customers as often, I don't have some damn sales goal, and the greeting cards are considered a speciality section so I'll also be harder to replace. The problems arehow there are no maps of the section, so I play it by eye, and when cards get mispalced (which happens every 10 minutes cuz customers are assholes) there is no locator program so I can't scan a card and get its location. So again w playing by eye. And if some dumbass fat coworker throws away a card's reorder slip? It's fecked. Yea... fatass coworker did the cards before she went on medical leave and I took over. Now that fatass is back she keeps sticking her nose into my aisle.
If all I do is cards now then yay because it's less stressful (when fatass stays out anyway) so here's hoping this works in my favor. Last week I finished the cards early and found something else to do... the scanouts on the candy aisle. Princess Nepotism "does" that aisle so ofc it was a mess. I hadn't done a scanout in years so I hope I did it right. Can't be worse that her though. She doesn't even scan the empty slot. She just puts the sticker on it. She doesn't pull her section of the stockroom either. I swear her daddy being a manager is the only reason she has that job.
There is also a chance that more favoritism, maybe even racism, is going on. Our longtime senoir makupgirl is black, and she's been there about as long as I have. Well there's a new girl, an older, very white girl, who seems to be on the fast track to take over that senior makeupgirl slot. This older white chick was never scheduled to be front register...and everyone starts up there. I did, the current senoir makeup did, even Princess Nepotism did. But not this chick. I thought maybe she was a transfer from another store and had the seniority to dodge up front.... but then I had to show her how to prinnt signs and price tags and even do her training videos. Basically she knew nothing about the work computer. So how could she be a transfer? So I need to keep an eye on that. If my friend is leaving of her own free will then that's one thing, but the younger black coworkers have indicated that that's not the case.
What the hell. Shit like this is not supposed to happen. But then people get harassed for being gay too so why am I surprised?
