...the closer to god." While i don't believe in god, per say, I do believe that these curlers are bringing me closer to something pure, and good, and holy. I love curly hair!
This is day 2 with my molecular steam curlers:

So I've decided that at this point in time it's very important for me to have big, curly hair. I ordered a set of "molecular steam curlers" off Amazon and they came in the mail today. Here's my hair a few hours later, taken by my shitty webcam.
I am STOKED! (though I don't look it in this photo...) |

| A twist in the right direction... |
[Dec. 6th, 2009|03:48 am] |
It's begun. My entertaining empire is taking (occasionally popping, ill-porportioned) shape.
A poodle-lined shelf:
Today's first project, a bear!
This one may be hard to see, but it's a little mouse.
Then my masterpiece of the night- a slightly crooked tiger!!
This is my desk after an evening of exhausting study:
And this is the pile of half-animals, misshapen swords, and discarded creatures of various kinds heaped by my bed:
At one point tonight I was like, "Seriously? It's 2 am on a Saturday night and I'm in my pajamas, alone, slouched over in a chair, drawing eyes on a balloon tiger. Shouldn't I be attending a social engagement or getting laid?" But, strangely- and maybe pathetically- none of those things could have made me happier than doing a pinch twist... or a sausage twist... or any other of the rudimentary techniques that I am now completely not a master of.
Invigorated from my sexy night of balloon sculpting, I decided to research making my own skincare products because I like making things... and I'm shit broke. After reading a lot of recipes and a lot about the properties of various ingredients, I made my own exfoliating facial scrub. I mixed it up in under 3 minutes. The only reason I'm even telling you is that IT WAS AWESOME!!! My skin is positively GLOWING, my pores shrank, I'm not greasy (I have wicked oily skin), and I feel super clean. Here's what I did:
I juiced the half a lime I had sitting in my fridge (lemon would also work though), then mixed enough brown sugar into it to make it a paste. Then, because I thought it would be extra-nice, I threw some rolled oats (not instant- I make oatmeal every morning for breakfast so I have loads of it around) in the food processor and chopped it up, then dumped enough in so that it was still pasty.
I have in a little tub in my ice-cold bathroom, so I think it'll keep at least a week, maybe 2. TRY THIS! And tell me how much you love it!
Also, I'm way late on this but I just started using Pandora and it rules. I made a Pelican station, an all-banjo station, and a Tom Waits/Man Man station. The internet is neeeeeeat. |
