whythefuck?
Oh god that’s awful. AWFUL. My husband looooves Arrested Development and rewatches it constantly, but I just cannot deal with George Michael. I mean, I’ve watched the entire series, and it has plenty of great moments, but am I supposed to like Michael Cera? I kind of want to punch him in the face in every single thing I’ve seen him in.

shit that really needs to exist right now
- a pill or some other minor, one-shot ingestible that renders my entire body resistant to UV rays. It’s 2012. Why do I still have to grease myself up like I’m swimming the English Channel every time I go outdoors?
- self-applying nail polish, because while I have a considerable amount of love for those tiny bottles of stinky paint, sometimes I’m just lazy.
- something that prevents me from becoming hungry 45 seconds after I brush my teeth at night, because what the fuck?

"Andrew Marvell’s poem wherein the ‘remote Bermudas ride in the ocean’s bosom unespied’ was written in the sixteen-fifties, and contains a description, from hearsay, of Bermuda’s remarkable oranges, set against their dark foliage like ‘golden lamps in a green night’…it is no wonder that growers have heavily implanted the San Joaquin Valley with the Washington Navel Orange, which is the most beautiful orange grown in any quantity in the United States, and is certainly as attractive to the eye as any orange grown in the world. Its color will go to a deep, flaring cadmium orange, and its surface has a suggestion of coarseness, which complements its perfect ellipsoidal shape."
I’m fixin’ to throw this book down, put on pants, and drive to Harris Teeter for some goddamn oranges.

My NYE mani was Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear (aside: 1993 called; it wants its “marketing to kids” buzzword back) Celeb City, which is a gorgeous bright silver foil. Unfortunately for Celeb City, it can barely be seen under two honking coats of Milani Gems. Gems is one of the many drugstore dupes for Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday, and it’s essentially big, chunky glitter in a clear base.
I’m not sure I dig the clown barf look on me, especially on my little nubs - my dishwashing gloves did not survive our move, and I managed to break two nails after scrubbing dishes the other day (womp womp). It is super blingy and festive though, and I enjoyed peeking at it while at the gym this morning.

ohhhhhh i love this! i also wish i could paint my nails as well as you can.
I am actually not particularly good at painting my nails - I use a cleanup method I found on the MakeupAlley nail board (warning: this forum is full of hard down nail polish freaks, including myself, and will make me look insane). It’s described here, and all it requires is pure acetone and a suitably small brush. You could use plain nail polish remover, of course, but acetone works so much faster. It smells like ass, though. I use this brush - only a buck at Target! Rounded brushes work better for me than straight ones, and this one is the perfect size.
So yeah, all this sounds nuts, I know, but I swear it doesn’t take that long…5 minutes tops, and that’s if I’ve been particularly messy.

My new best kitchen friend, freshly oiled on the stove. Anybody got ideas for what I can fry?
