So you can turn on the oven light and sit there and admire your revolting tuna-noodle casserole while it bakes, I guess.

The most amazing part of this is that the Waxen Ghoul, in his inept attempt to run a very important task force, managed to bring on at least one person who was non-inept (and non-morally-bankrupt) enough to recognize and actually say out loud “yo this shit is fucked up.” So, inept enough to do a bad job at the thing…

I still fucking LOVE this song. GOOD PICK MAN. Would also have accepted “Leave It,” the video for which is slightly less cheezy than this one.

To which I say “GOOD, now maybe cosmetics brands will finally start producing samples and/or minis in their full shade ranges for each product, and make them available to order online.” I would HAPPILY pay a few bucks (plus shipping) to sample a couple shades of foundation or concealer or eyeshadow, and buy a mini…

My experience with Sephora-in-JCP isn’t quite that dramatic, but certainly disappointing. The only one around here (half an hour away, as is our only other option i.e. a very lackluster Ulta) is tiny and with an EXTREMELY limited selection of brands and products... a lot of their house brand, a little MUFE, a tiny bit…

I realize I am SUPER lucky that this house has a third bedroom that I can use as my office/craft room — even though it’s fairly small and literally packed to the gills. The trade-off, of course, is that it’s in Alabama. A house this size would cost easily three times as much in ... well, anyplace we’d actually want to…

omg perfection.

The shipping costs are baked into the price. I know this because I’m also on Etsy, and they did a HARD push for everyone to offer free shipping on everything, because apparently “buyers like it” -- and I guess they’re incapable of programming the site to “sort by price + shipping” as eBay does.

The problem is that this really only easily works if you leave your machine out, set up, ready to roll. And my “sewing table” is also the place where I do x-acto cutting, put ModPodge on labels, assemble placemats, dye stuff, wrap things, pack up orders, etc, etc. The sewing machine lives on the floor right next to…

I haven’t bought a dress from them in like... three years? But the last one I got was good! It’s just a simple cap-sleeve knit deal with crossover bodice and some gathering and the [vaguely empire-level] waist. Granted, it was a solid 6" too long for me so I had to chop and hem it, but otherwise it’s perfectly nice!…

“...and take up the Thor mantel”

I tried a cauliflower crust recipe, and honestly it was a shitload of work for a less-than-stellar crust. I mean, it was edible? But not worth the effort. Also a chick pea crust (mostly chick pea, some regular flour) which I didn’t have pre-ground ones for so had to put dry peas in the Cuisinart which was maybe THE…

I’m trying to get myself back into sewing, I just have kind of limited patience for it, which is weird? I can tackle a graphic design project — layout, color tests, printing, laminating, cutting, assembling — for hourrrrrrs. But ten minutes at the sewing machine and I’m all “ARGH, UGH, I’M TAKIN A BREAK”

I haven’t been to any of their websites in over a year -- and last I looked, Gap was extreeeemely lackluster, and Banana was just kind of boring yet overpriced? IDK, I’ve probably aged out of the target demo for both of them...

Yeah, they used to be “slightly expensive but not CRAZY expensive well-cut and well-made basic/staple pieces in versatile colors.” For the last 10+ years, much of what I’ve seen has been “overpriced poorly-made hyper-trendy overembellished shit that doesn’t go with anything else you own.” Which sucks, because they…

BOOZY POPSICLES! We recently got a smoking gun too, so we can make SMOKED boozy popsicles, oooooo. 

PREEMPTIVELY-CROTCHETY OLDISH PEOPLE UNITE. :D  Yeah, I’m most of the way there already, and it’s SO nice to have zero qualms about telling people they’re full of shit etc. 

Ahhh, life with the “oh you know, ‘bout this much” methodology. :)

YAS, WE HAVE BOOZE <3

IT’S BULLSHIT IS WHAT IT IS
