Here's my thing. Goodnight.

Something about this cafe is making me "suspicious." #unnecessaryquotationmarks

Ok, shut up. I'm really obsessed with Asian skincare right now and it's driving me crazy. Shut up. I spent way too much time at TJ Maxx and Marshall's yesterday, digging through their weird makeup like a madman. I mostly took this picture to show my fir

At least Thom remembered to put his windshield wipers up.

This is Bug and Lulubelle. It's Bug's first big snow and she's going totally berserk. I managed to snap a photo before she took off again.
Broken Umbrella:
My new sunscreen finally arrived! Check out its long name: Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++. It's the rose-scented kind, which was sort of a challenge to find from a US seller. I really wondered why everyone worshiped this stuff,

Cat Stevens's "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out" is playing on the stereo here and there's macrobiotic food on the menu. It's like a prettier, more affordable Brooklyn.

"The path that Lewis and Clark took can be mapped by taking soil samples AND MEASURING THE MERCURY LEVELS IN THE SOIL." Arrived at this little fact nugget after seeing The Revenant, then wondering how women kept UTIs at bay in the 1820s, then arguing wi

There's something ... not ... quite... right ... about wearing this skin-like, face-shaped mask over my own face, but I can't quite put my finger on it. #naisture #kbeauty #EdGeinsCoolerOlderSister

OK, OK. I discovered a paradise today called H Mart, and my friends, that "H" stands for HOLY LIVING CRAP. Face Shop: My first konjac sponge! A fox sheet mask for Thom A pig sheet mask for me Amore Jil Hanahrum: IOPE Air Cushion XP C21 Mamonde Flowe

The Duckbutt and Pigface show! Off camera is Thom "I Don't Give a Fox," but he's afraid the girls on OKCupid will laugh at him, so just use your imagination. #faceshop #kbeauty #pigfarts

This is a photo I took too slow the Asian Beauty (AB) group I post to, but I'll post it here too, but because it was a glimmer of excitement in an otherwise unremarkable day. This is my very first bad AB reaction. It feels like a rite of passage. {proud}

I'm swooning because I just discovered that @shirocosmetics has a highlighter (hm, I thought it was an eyeshadow. What's a highlighter?) anyway, Shiro has a highlighter called The Last Unicorn, and comes in a case with the eponymous unicorn on the lid. T

These things are the "Spa Life Radiant Diamond hydrogel under eye treatment." Apparently they're made with REAL DIAMONDS because everybody knows that diamonds are good for your skin. (Puzzlingly, the list of ingredients actually does include "diamond dust

Sometimes life is pretty great, and I try hard to savor times like that, because I know that life with a psychiatric disorder is, um ... capricious. Things right now are really, really not good for me, and the stress is affecting my brain and my body. I

I spent this Valentine's Day with one of the very few broken hearts I've ever had. I was going to say "nursing" one of the very few broken hearts, but this isn't nursing, at least not yet. More like this is choking back sobs for most of the day because

I only cried like a big baby for a teeny bit today. Then I tried to use the Internet to learn makeup, got frustrated, and made this face and a caveman sound. It went "Daaaaah!" 💅💣🐵

Part I: So my first year of college, Fred Seton showed me this manga cartoon called Ranma One-Half. It was for teenagers, so it was pretty tame (despite being about a teen boy who changed gender when splashed with water ... buh?), but one supporting ch

Part III: * Collage Rose Aroma Moist All in one Mask. Marshalls, baby! It cost $13, which is kind of a lot for me, but everybody at r/asianbeauty said that I had to so I did. Guess what this is? It's rose-scented. Guess what it does? It's a sleepi

Not feeling so hot today, mood-wise, except the place I get my medication is in a village called Harrow, and that makes me glad. Next month will bring some changes and I'm nervous and scared. My doctor and I are conspiring to look for some group or volun

When you take a billion train selfies, and the shot of you being startled by a passing train is the best one. #septa #outsidemycomfortzone #googlyeye

I really love the artwork by Matthew Carroll up at Nelli Rae's in Revere right now. This one is called "Wendigo." Thinking of you, @johnsonlallytattoo

This is still one of my favorite things. A Deventer scribe, writing around 1420, found his manuscript ruined by a urine stain left there by a cat the night before. He was forced to leave the rest of the page empty, drew a picture of a cat and cursed the

Today I've been sober for four years. My bff Thom is usually the only one who remembers, but he's away at military camp and won't be able to make phone calls for two more months. I felt lonely so I went to Target and bought that tiny pink Vaseline I've b

I was all like "Look, Mom. I'm just like Agamemnon's mask from Mycenae, hyuk hyuk!" and she was all like "You can't sit with us, loser." #hydrogel #kbeauty

Here's a couple teaspoons of Polsky lore that you can absolutely skip over if your heart compels you. The photograph is of a woman called Nora Conroy, who (whom?) I believe was my great-grandmother. Family legend has it that she worked as a maid in a fan

I tried to leave the house for some fun today. I put away movies at the library, and then I drove to Marshalls to hunt for weird skincare, but it all feels pointless again. Turning around and going home. I did like my makeup though, and so I commemorate i
