Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, on my way out of work today, there was someone waiting for the elevator I was getting out of. I gave her the nod-and-smile I give people I recognize because we are coworkers, but don't really know. Yeah, no. She wouldn't recognize me, because she's the host of the local public-affairs show. Oh well -- I guess it's still better to be friendly than not.

I'm intrigued. Anybody ever made tomato jam?

I don't know from tomato but I am eating fig and garlic jam right now and it is awesome. Would probably be really good on a sandwich.

(I'm having it with Roaring Forties cheese - guess why? - and Bitch Bubbly. Then we're headed here [link] for dinner.)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I prefer a mascara-ish gel (I use MAC's auburn shade) but mostly for shaping and control, no filling.

Smashbox has a good selections of colors, and people love it. It's a split, with powder on one side, and wax on the other.

I am going as Zombie Apocolypse Velma for Halloween, but am having trouble finding a red skirt in my size, and orange knee socks. I wish I could afford a large stuffed Scooby, because I would SO make Dan make a zombie hand to put in its mouth.

I am entirely unaffected by most sports, and liked the LotR movies and read the books (which dragged, even though I mostly enjoy baroque world-building and Very Large Books.)

A matte eye shadow that's close to your hair color, applied with a flat angle brush. Biorequiem has a tutorial that shows the same method: [link]

allright I got something off Sephora - thanks for the recs and thanks bon bon for the 20% off notice. My eyebrows are really thing toward the end until I fill, but I also want to really shape them more. From this picture, [link] how much of an arch do people think would look good?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am disappointed in the Smashbox pencil I just bought. What I had before from their Reel to Real set was much nicer--a brow-specific version of what Jilli recommends. I need to check and see if they still have that.

eta: This, without the lighter shade. You really need that?

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Okay, I am getting one of those BarkOff devices to see if I can train new neighbor's ceaselessly yapping dog to shut the hell up.
