Will Sephora let me come in clean-faced, try the PhotoFinishes, and then buff my stuff on top to see how I like the combo? Because that is the kind of testing I can *really* get behind. And then purchase.
I am sampling's bitch.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oooh, Sephora.
When I was visiting The House Of Reason, I was lucky enough to visit Sephora, where I bought THE most yummy-smelling body wash/shampoo stuff known to man. Chocolate/raspberry. God. I can still smell it. Raspberry jam reminds me of it, rather than the other way round. So yummy.
I've not seen it here, but you can buy the Philosophy range here in Bangkok, but it's hella expensive. Something like 20 sterling (which is, what, forty dollars? Thirty? Lots, anyway) for a moderately largish bottle.
Stoopid world.

That seems crazy expensive for Philosophy. I mean, I don't think of it as cheap but also not crazy. Then again, I haven't used it so it's mere impression and not actually knowing prices. Do you need care packages, Fay?

Oh, bless you! No, it's okay, I wasn't fishing - we don't have Sephora at all in the UK - or, well, no, that's maybe not the case, but I'd never been aware of it other than through the board. In a way it's kind of good, because after I'd spent five minutes thinking 'Well, maybe I could justify buying one...' I realised that, no, I really really couldn't - but that in the light of how expensive it was, I could DEFINITELY afford to go and buy lots of nice-smelling things from Boots or The Body Shop instead. So it's all good.

Morning, world!

morning, vw, and world! I'm typing with weight gloves on, which is tough. But lifting weights before work seems like a good plan. Off to do next set...
Might sip some coffee on the way...

Yes. Yes, it is morning. I have been awake for 20 minutes, thanks to starving-to-death-never-been-fed cats.
How these cats are so hungry, I don't know. Maybe they've been secretly passing off their food - which I spend wayyyyyyyyy too much on ($60/month-ish, but most of that is prescription food for Harvey, what with his chronic UTI thing going on) - to the squirrels outside, in return for the fantastic entertainment the cats get from watching their antics.

Caffeine may ease workout pain
In a small study of female college students, researchers found that a caffeine supplement seemed to lessen the familiar muscle pain that crops up the day after a particularly challenging workout.

All right! Thanks Tom for making it ok for me to sip coffee while working out instead of water. Actually I am just a heavy drinker. At least a 12 cup pot of coffee a day, often more. Tons of water all day with the cooler next to my desk. Wine at night, well not too much of that.

And there's Tom Scola, bringing the cheerful, caffeine-really-is-a-wonder-drug, news.
Daniel, darling man that he is, offered to make breakfast for me this morning. Often I feel guilty about accepting those offers, especially on mornings when he has to get to work, and I've got until afternoon before I need to be anywhere. And then I realized, oh, it's my 37th birthday, I'm feeling weird about that number, and if there's one thing that would cheer me up, it's having my man spoil me rotten.
I'm so lucky.
