9:34a - balrog such a prat
question: anyone else a little bit scared of bill frist? see, from what i can tell, this guy is intelligent, well-spoken, logical, perhaps even compassionate and maybe nice, even. oh, and in other news, he also kinda stands in opposition to pretty much everything i believe in. not *everything,* granted, but... things are so much easier when republicans are stupid, you know? i mean, no offense to the republicans among us. so again, i ask...anybody else a little bit scared of bill frist? not just me? good.
in other news, a product warning, if i may: philosophy's "soul owner," an exfoliating foot cream moisturizer thing, which some of us may find tempting to use in these dry winter months, should under no circumstances be used by those among us with sensitive skin. and by "those among us with sensitive skin," i mean "those among us with skin at all." so i used this moisturizer, right? been using it a couple of weeks. , one day, i'm in the shower and i notice that old heel needs some pumice attention. i'm a little pissed because i've been using this nice, expensive moisturizer, right? so i set to the pumicing and all of a sudden, like the whole bottom of my foot starts to come off. dry skin that i apparently didn't know i had because it looked and felt normal just, whoomp, fell off. so now i've got these newborn feet, which could be good, did i not feel as if i'd just molted. so that evening, as i';m preparing to rub some more of this stuff on feet, i notice that the hand i use to apply it is a little dry around the bases of the fingers. i wash my hands...and some of the skin rubs off. what the fuck, i think to myself? so, i decided to experiment on myself. i switched hands. used the other one to apply the cream that night. the next day, i woke up, washed my face and noticed a distinct tingling sensation on that left hand. i rub..and the skin fucking peels off, but not in a good way, godammit, in an "ow ow OW fuck OW my hand is burning" kind of a way. i looked down and between the fingers, it's as if i was given a particularly strong chemical peel. right now, i've got shiny little burn patched between two of my fingers.
so what that rambling paragraph was supposed to convey is this: don't use that crap because it'll toast your delicate skin. dammit.
also, our email server at work is down, and by "down," i mean, they like turned it off or something because there was some problem or other and now everybody around here is fucking pissed off. it's hilarious. i'm just sitting here listening to muted obscenities floating over and around cubicle walls. hah hah. suckers.
"am feeling a pout coming on"
current mood: mischievous
current music: yeah yeah yeahs
