damn you assbags!

OK, so I went to take my avobath (which was awesome, by the way, thanks for asking), and by the time I got back, there were three spam comments on my last two posts... so, I've had to activate word verification.

You bots can suck it. Can't we enjoy anything?

Lush Purchases

So, ahem... here's all my new lush stuff... and here's what it is, in case you care.

I promised Husbear I wouldn't do this, but love of lush makes one do crazy things. (ok, yeah, that's not really true, but let me roll with that excuse.)

Tell ya what... I won't write out a long description of everything, ok? I'll just name it, and link to the page it has on the lush website, ok? Because I love you all, and I would be a pretty shitt-tee blogger if I made you sit through all that... but I never said I wasn't a crappy blogger.

Besides, who cares what you think? Oh yeah... I do. Crap.

Top row, from L - R:

Flying Fox shower gel (smells like smoky jasmine sensual-ness - I had to buy a bunch of other jasmine-smelly things, as you'll see)

Avobath bath ballistic (lemongrass-y?)

Youki-Hi bath ballistic (smells like jasmine)

Jungle solid conditioner (I love this stuff... gotta big block)

Second row, L-R, starting with the soap (unwrapped)

Honey I washed the Kids soap (smells like golden grahams!)

Sandstone soap (lemony, with a layer of actual sand!)

Waving Not Drowning bath ballistic (lavendery)

Bottom row, starting with yellow wrapped thing...

Godiva combo shampoo-conditioner (also jasminey... yum! Plus works really well)

Underneath the Godiva is a bar of Hybrid, another shampoo/conditioner (smells fennelly and lemony like ouzo)

Red Rooster soap (not sure yet if I like it... it's REALLY strongly cinnamon!)

My Seanick shampoo bar... I've been using it for five weeks, and it's barely gotten smaller! Doesn't smell like much to me, though.

Under that is Flying Fox temple balm, which I'm using as a solid perfume. I love it, I tell ya!

And last, but not least, but probably stinkiest, is the Soak and Float solid shampoo bar. Smells like tar or campfire? I haven't used it yet, but right now it's double-bagged in a drawer and it still smells like smoke in there.

Yeah, that's it... I'm so freakin' excited. I think I might go try that Avobath, or maybe not? I dunno.

It for now.

Proof that I should not be allowed to care for myself.

Here's what I've had to eat in the last 24 hours:

One order of Huevos Borrachos, Drunken (?) eggs, scrambled with serranos, tomatoes, onions, and lotsa yellow cheese;

A healthy portion of refried beans mixed with yellow cheese, to form some kind of super-dense caloric treat to be enjoyed with corn tortillas (These delights came to be mine via Maudie's North Lamar);

One giant piece of chocolate cake (what an awesome breakfast!);

Two pieces of Mr. Gatti's Supreme Pizza (ok, that even grosses me out)

and One peanut-butter and jelly san'wich.

I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to eat anything but rice cakes for the next couple of days.

I had a crap day today; one of those days where you work through lunch and then have to stay late anyway. I was on vacation (hello, boston!) last weekend, and didn't come back to work until Wednesday, so it took me the rest of the week to catch up, and some things just fell through the cracks as things are wont to do.

Anyway, it's done now... I think it's time for me to go enjoy some of my Lush purchases.

So, here's the thing.

I don't have anything new to say about Katrina. I did write in our other blog about it, and provide some links... but there just really isn't anything else for me to say, and luckily, as a person who doesn't really have an audience of people hanging around here waiting for me to condense this kind of horror into something witty, yet meaningful and heartstring-tugging, I don't have to. Anyway, the best links I've found so far I've linked on bootsintheoven.

What happened in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama is so awful as to absolutely beggar any description. I feel so helpless in the face of what happened... when I come home, I'm glued to my television screen. All those people... all that incompetence.

So, I'm going to talk about something else, because this is all just too infuriating and heartbreaking, and it takes me about two seconds of thinking about it to just absolutely and completely lose my shit.

godDAMNit.
