it's almost like woodstock '94.

verbminxSomeone, presumably put up to it by the landlord who was presumably put up to it by another tenant, has come along and plowed our driveway and parking area. Whoever they are, we like them. Today is supposed to be pretty slow for snow, but there will be another storm tomorrow, dumping around 5" or so. The roof of the garage, which I can see from my bedroom window, looks like it has been flocked in white.
My face is currently covered with grayish goo - "Clear Improvement" active charcoal mask by Origins, which is meant to suck icky stuff out of pores. The jury is out on how well it works or does not work, because this is only the second Saturday that I've used it. (I will use it every Saturday or Sunday afternoon until it runs out, which will probably be a couple of months). My skin has gone crazy in this climate, but I think I'm starting to figure it out. I saw something on TV in the last week or so where someone was wearing one of these facial masks, and it looked so fake because the edges and coverage were perfect and stood at an absolute distance from the hairline and jawline. Nobody does that for real. When the grayish goo dries, I will hop back into the shower, wash it off, and use some scrub... I can never remember whether the scrub is supposed to come before the mask or after.
I'm thinking of taking out my labret stud. First of all, I may have to anyway, to acquire gainful employment. Second of all, the jewelry doesn't fit; it's too long, and I've been waiting for the smaller 5/16" stud to go with my interchangeable SteelSkin beads for like 18 months now, and the overlong stud is really bothering me. But if I spend the $40ish on the stud, I may still have to take out the piercing within a matter of weeks. Third, I have looked carefully at pictures of myself, and I think it makes itself the focus of my face, and I'm ambivalent about that. But on the flip side, it's fun to play with (maybe too much fun), and I get a lot of compliments on it, and it's really the only "alternative" identifier I have anymore, what with my hair being pretty normal and my clothes being maybe 60% normal most of the time and the fact that I have pierced ears but don't really wear (or like to wear) earrings. & I don't really want a tattoo right now, though I'm not sure why it matters to me. Probably just another sign of my penchant for being terminally noncommittal.
After postponing all week long, am finally going to the movies tonight; T. and I have decided to forego ...Polly for Big Fish. I have a yearning to go shopping over at Easton, but you know what? I have absolutely no reason to do it, and other plans for the night, and the "yearning to go shopping at Easton" is usually pretty expensive, and I don't want to buy stuff I don't need, for the time being. Shelving yes, shoes no.
