Yesterday & Today & Tomorrow: Shaving Cream & Warhol & Strangers

    Hey there.

   So, since I didn’t post a post I meant to post yesterday, which was quite long, I’ll sum it up for you quickly. I realize now that it isn’t exactly worth an entire post, for it’s just a small way to make something look more interesting, like a wooden plaque or white notebook. After this, it’s Andy Warhol time! And after that? A website I found.

   I recently acquired some small wooden plagues. Obviously, these plaques were plain and ugly. I made them look less plain and ugly(in my opinion) by mastering the art of shaving cream mixed with food coloring. The result and how-to is below, mathematical form.

                                                                            Get it?

   Alright, moving on to today. After weeks of anticipation, I finally got to see the Andy Warhol exhibit! It was rad. Super rad. My love for him grew tenfold. Anyway, the gift shop wasn’t as rad, but had some rad items for sale. Rad rad rad.

   A paperweight/super magnet, a little notebook (the famous Campbell’s Soup photograph, with a quote on the spine/top: “Everyone and everything is interesting.”), and a quote sticker set(which I’ll make into magnets). The experience was incredibly rewarding, mentally and materially.

   Arriving home, I found a small package that came in the mail. Inside was a full-size lipgloss…I hadn’t ordered anything online, though. So after some brief thinking, I realized that I had entered for this, it was that Jordana lipgloss that Seventeen was giving away to the first thousand people! Jeez, it was from April. They sure took their time. (: I’m super grateful, though, obviously. It’s a color I’ll wear and everything, so I’m excited.

I might do a review, since it’s not a well-known brand yet.

   As for the Tomorrow bit of this post, I just have a website to keep you entertained for a short period of time. Ever heard of Omegle.com? It’s where you “Talk to Strangers!” And strangers they are. I love the no-commitment, total anonymity of it. Problems? Of course. Occasionally, there are some FREAKY FREAKS on there. Hey, it comes with the territory.

   Anyway, I guess that’s the post. Sunday’s the True Blood and Leverage premiere, and Monday’s Weeds. Not much else going on, except next Thursday I’m getting braces (the dentist said they’re pretty late on it; I feel old), Friday’s a haircut, and Saturday we might go canoeing for the first time? Oh…no.

   And with that, I leave you with this:

What’s New? (Coo Coo Ca Choo)

 Hey there.

  (In case you’ve never heard of this thing called the past, that little coo coo rhyme is a lyric from the Beatles.)
   Allllllrighty then! <—As you just read, I’ve been watching Ace Ventura lately. That rhino scene will change your life. Anyway, I recently got some mail. Hoorah! It’s my Doc Martens all the way from Europe.

  
     No heel, no bulkiness = perfection only Doc himself can achieve.

   They’re called Shoreditch/Eclectic Leather (holla!) Dr. Martens. I had to import them due to the lack of awesomeness(/leatherness) that U.S. online stores have available. I ordered them from KBK Shoes. These guys were on sale, alas, shipping wasn’t cheap(shipped next day without special payment; took around six weekdays to arrive). Since U.K. sizes are different, I ordered a size 4(I’m regularly a 6 – 6 1/2). If I’m wearing socks(I usually am…) and the laces are tied, they fit nicely. Oh, I also definitely suggest buying leather–it’s five dollars more expensive, but leather lasts longer and all your mud-n’-diseases from everyday adventures wipe off a whole lot easier. I won’t do a review, since I’m so biased about these.

  Moving on, there’s not much new I have to say. I haven’t been doing much shopping, so no item reviews. I haven’t had many free days, so no blog-worthy adventures. Due to this coolness-lacking, I’ll share with you some recent discoveries of things that I’m currently digging.

•   The word deck. It’s rad-person speak for cool(“Dude, that’s totally deck!”).
• The band Mumford & Sons. It sounds like some furniture company from the South. However, it’s the coolest rock-folk-alternative band on the circuit right now. (Download “The Cave” and, if you’re looking for folkier, download “Winter Winds“.)
• The TV show Chuck. Um, adorably kickass.
• The book Red Riding Hood. Sounds totally lame, but if you want to see the movie, check it out. What intrigues me? The book was based on the screenplay, not vice versa. Or, if you can’t wait till the movie, read the last page–everything you need to know, right there. (:
• The prehistoric Brontosaurus. What’s not to love?

   To makeup for my extreme lack of posts last week, I’ll try to post in a day or two. Alrighty, then.
