Good and Bad

My arms are so stiff, and I have to organize the insane pile of stuff in my room. But I had a good weekend, and I learned that the transit from Roseville to Folsom is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Quite speedy for a bus and two trains.

Later Peeps

Blog Hiatus

Urgh, I spent most of yesterday cleaning and moving and so forgot to blog. And today I have to say that there will be no blogs Saturday or Sunday.

Sadly, I'm Very Much Like This

Rain and Sun

The two should not be possible together and yet, somehow, they are.

Hee, hee

Usually I stay away from the plethora of cute animal videos online, but I have to confess, I love this one.

Rule Clarification

It has been tolerated today because I was weak and misleading. But from this day forward, two scoops of gelato (or any frozen treat) counts as two treats, not one. This will only really matter to my sister.

Calendula Gel and Lychee Gelato

I have sensitive skin and today discovered that Calendula Gel and sun exposure seems to help. I also found lychee gelato at a place in the mall next to me and it was delicious.

Let's Protest the British Government Today and Save a Woman's Life

Okay, I've never asked anyone to sign a petition in my life. This isn't to say I haven't encountered worthy causes before, I generally just feel uncomfortable sharing my feelings on issues with others. So I won't ask you to sign this petition, but here's the story in the hopes it will move you to do so.

Stream of Ramble Diary

So today I went to lunch at the house of two of the people in my book club, then I went downtown to return a library book, saw a shirtless man with lots of tattoos being arrested as I walked off the lightrail (good ol' Sacramento), went home, somehow missed the 7pm bus and had to take the 8pm instead, saw an abandoned shoe on the street, got home, and now I am going to take a bath.

Bah!

I went out and forgot to blog. Another treat for my sister.

Treats

I finally got my sister all the treats I owe her. If I'm lucky, I won't forget to post again. But, considering my track record, this isn't likely. I've been thinking of getting a watch with an alarm to remind me to do stuff. I usually prefer analog watches but it would be really useful to have reminders.

Mother's Day Cleaning

My sister and I did a lot of cleaning today. I hope my mom did not feel compelled to do as much because she did not have to today.

Argh!

And other results of forgetfulness. My sister's earned another treat for herself. But whatever, I still had a good evening. I saw Iron Man 2 with friends. Awesome movie and good times.

The Knights of the Overwhelming Pile of Boxes

So, a friend of mine showed me the first episode of the web series, The Guild. Between cleaning, organizing, and moving boxes I have managed to watch all of the rest of the episodes currently in existence. I quite liked it and have to admit that I knew a girl like Tink once. Bladezz looks (and acts) a bit like a guy I used to know. And I've met parents who remind me a little too much of Clara. I'm also curious how they filmed the scenes with the kids in the cage because that seems like the type of thing you could get in trouble for actually doing...

I was also excited that my sister found our old computer (dubbed Greg because he used to make a greggreggreggreg... sound when we turned him on) and Greg still works! Ah, Windows 95. The memories.

Vacuuming...

...is, by nature, what it does.

But in other news, I did buy Hank Green's Anglerfish song as a Hank O de Mayo present and because it is awesome.

Volunteering

It occurred to me that when you work they often only pay you in money. When you volunteer they pay you in appreciation. If only I could live off that warm fuzzy feeling, I'd be set.

Anonymous Commentors and Product Review

An anonymous comment was left on my last blog post that included French. I'm unclear if this is one of my French friends, or simply a friend who speaks French. If that kind person could reveal herself (I'm assuming a girl because of the French), that would be great. I'm sure I miss you too, despite not knowing who you are.

Anyway, I just wanted to do a quick review of the Desert Essence Organics Body Care lotion I've been using. This is strictly a consumer reports type review--meaning unsponsored. If I were being paid to do these, I'd do a lot more, trust me.

So I've liked this lotion as body lotion. The pros are the natural ingredients, the smell (I have been informed it makes me smell yummy), and the effectiveness. Effectiveness can be difficult to judge with my skin since it's already so bad, but it seems to be doing it good. It's two major cons are the oily residue, which takes some time to seep in, and the price tag.

I also discovered one more pro just today: it actually works quite nicely on my hair. This is likely because it has coconut oil in it. Nothing makes my hair look perfect. But this did transform it from the crazy frizzy mess it was this morning to something I would consider--if not a good hair day--then at least a normally decent hair day. And my hair is now soft to the touch but not too oily.

There Will Be No Blog on Sunday

And no explanation either.

...

My life feels like it's become one long stream of moving stuff.
