Makeup Bullshit: I have a new favorite blog

crowhen Apr 07, 2009 21:04

You probably know by now that I'm a huge fan of Paula Begoun, aka "The Cosmetics Cop," for her analytical and scientific approach to cosmetics and skin care and their respective industries. Now, when I say she has a "scientific approach," I don't mean she talks about how "oxygen is good for the skin!" or how "mineral makeup is good for you because ( Read more... )

Rubifruit may have to close.

Edit (or, before you use the word "bandwidth")
I've said this before, but the bandwidth is not a problem. It's the RAM usage and resources that cost money. Every time we display a banner hosted via Rubifruit, our server has to make a calculation. That calculation takes up processing power, usually in the form of RAM ( Read more... )

Progress

It's been an interesting week. After being sick and working late for the past one or two, this week was sunny, pretty and the workload was light and sweet. However, a lot of that lightweight workload is entirely due to my putting in extra time over the past few weeks to ensure I'd have reusable scaffolding to work on. It paid off! The tickets kept ( Read more... )

Braces (with pics!)

Yesterday was Rachel Day, a day off from work. We get our birthdays off, and my boss insisted I take Friday off instead of Monday, for a little three day weekend action. This worked very well for me because I was getting my braces on Thursday, and if they were anything like the spacers, all I would be very whiny and in pain for Friday and ( Read more... )

Today was Rachel Day. I am currently reporting via my DS from Open Eye cafe after realizing that the buses stopped early tonight because it's spring break. Alas, information that would have benefitted me prior to buying groceries ( Read more... )

Teeth Update: New Surgeon and why I REALLY have a cross bite.

crowhen Mar 11, 2009 23:04

I have a new surgeon. The old one's office was so slow to return calls that I went back to my ortho and requested to be hooked up with another surgery. And lo, I got to see my new surgeon today. And what fun we had! (This is slightly sarcastic because I was sick with a massive headache the entire time ( Read more... )

Burning at both ends.

I'm sick. And I know why.

Starting the new job
Working weekends to help get certain awesome sites live
Working until 9 at said new job to help push out a rush-deadline site recode
The stress of having chunks of rubber shoved between my molars (in preparation for braces--makes for very bad headaches)

I went to a sleepover last night, and it was loads of ( Read more... )

Twilight Princess

Finally getting to play Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii, at least a year after I first played it with Steven and Kim in New Jersey. After having watched Joe pick off headcrabs in Half Life 2 for the past month, I've pirated his Christmas present so I can repeatedly bite imps as a werewolfie.

Too much fun.

Stop trying to be who you were and start loving who you are.

Women make me sad. In my short life, the majority of women my age that I have come to know have all at one point or another said, "I need to lose weight! I don't fit into my old clothes anymore!" Then I would ask why they don't just buy new clothes (something I really enjoy when I have the money and the need), to which they would reply with, "But ( Read more... )

First step on the way to a better jaw.

I went to see the orthodontist yesterday. I'm getting my braces on the 12th of March, three days after my birthday. To prep me for that, they had to put rubber discs called "spacers" between my back teeth. It was very uncomfortable getting them in. I have eight in my mouth all together ( Read more... )
