OK, so I've had some complaints that my content isn't updated frequently enough. Actually, that's a crock, I know nobody really cares. I like it better this way.
Things I actually have been turning around in my head:
I have this habit of just making stuff up. Like, for example, I'll make up complete lies about what I did over the weekend to my coworkers on Monday. I'm not a pathological liar, because I have no intention of actually deceiving the person. I always back up and say, "Dude, I was kidding!" I don't know, I guess my life is boring. But I think I'm going to stop. This weekend I went to this place called the San Francisco Zen Center and meditated. A doc at work asked me what I did, and I told him (the truth was, in this case, stranger than fiction), and he was like "Oh yeah, I go there all the time!" He carried on for about a minute before saying, "No, I've never been there, just kidding." Damn, how annoying!
Why are all the roofs in SF flat? All the roofs in Sacramento are pointy-- you know, gabled. Other than the fact that roof deck parties work better on level terrain, does anyone have a clue why?
"Hard Knock Life" by Jay-Z reminds me of my sis and Joni, simultaneously. I can't believe Rhapsody has no songs by Queen. I wanna hear "Old Fashioned Lover Boy!"
Most of the expensive makeup you see is just the same old cheap stuff in nicer packaging. And we girls eat it up. If you have the money, it feels a lot more indulgent to buy the $14 lipstick than the $4 drugstore version, even if it's the same. Part of it is where you buy it, too. If you need some lipstick, and you don't mind plunking down and extra $10, you can go downtown and buy some at Neiman Marcus, and get the carrier bag plus scope out serious designer goodies as a free bonus. What do you get when you buy Revlon lipstick at Walgreens? Paranoia, thanks to the 2 security guards out front, and possibly Hep B if you stand too close to the person in line behind you. (As a side note, if you need to buy a designer fragrance, don't buy it at Macy's. It costs exactly the same at Neiman and Saks, and wouldn't you rather go there and walk around like a made-it?) OK, so the exception to the cheap makeup is as good as expensive makeup rule is eyeshadow. The expensive stuff really is worth it. It's all about the amount of pigment they use. The cheap stuff just won't make your eyes brightly colored. It all comes out grayish and pale. I don't know why. So, ladies (and uh, gentlemen) buy good eyeshadow. The rest can slide.
