I need to start painting again. I have too many mental images that the world needs to see.

Product review:

Those clear, waterproof baindaids SUCK. I bought a pack the other day to put on the cut on my hand...they're so thin and flimsy that the first one just crumpled on itself and stuck. To itself. The second one wrinkled a little on the one end, no big deal. But the whole business came right off as soon as the tiniest bit og water hit it. Oh...and there's no way to get the little paper tabs off the bandage without touching the little white pad that covers the cut. That's not sanitary.

So yeah...find a different kind of bandaid...I didn't expect them to be TOTALLY waterproof, but I thought it would at least stay stuck through a small spritz of water. Puhleeze.

And on a happy note, I found this really excellent body scrubby stuff at rite aid..."pure brown sugar" body scrub, something like that...it smells yummy, like a cake or something, kinda vanilla-caramel-cream-y. I was half tempted to taste it. But...apparently I know better, and I content myself with smelling it in the jar and on my skin. Hehehe.

Must go to post office today and return the book America BC to Grandma Jane.

I read the Virgin Suicides last night. Want to see the movie. Sad book. Not exactly what I expected it to be from what I heard/read about it, but well worth reading.

Someone just told me that the average woman consumes 6 pounds of lipstick in her life. Wonder what the nutritional value of that is?

What's the book the book the Virgin Suicides about? Do you think it might possibly be something of interest to me? My curiosity is peaked at the title, but I'd like to know more about it. Did I ever tell you I'm writing a book about survivors of Domestic Torture? Yeah, my own tale is going to be included too. :-( Oh well, I'll do this--> :-) because I survived. Anywho, let me know what the book is about, I think I might like it. Maybe.

My favorite bandaids are the ones by 3M, they're a little thicker than your regular plastic bandaid because they're a kind of space-age thin foam. I like the ones that are neon colors because it's just more fun to show the world that you have a boo-boo, instead of trying to have that fake skin-colored plastic half assedly blending in.

And Ive had those chumpies stay on my ankle for two or three days, through boots and showers!

yeah...foam bandaids rule. i was curious about the so-called waterproof ones though. i should take them back and ask if i can exchange. (i work there...they'll probably let me)

I would have tasted it. I have a habit of tasting random things though. I never tasted ectoplasm though. My friend says it's a very salty basey flavor.

I remember as a kid having camoflaged G.I. Joe band aids, they rocked.

I'm like, 99% sure that it's actually 6tubes, not 6 pounds. Think about it...even I'm a total makeup whore, and I doubt I've ever even bought ONE pound of lipstick. It is gross though, huh? Icky, icky, icky.

I was looking at that Brown Sugar scrub last night, and thinking, "WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY am I too poor for this?"
