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

Let me check my stash. I may have a jar of it I don't need.

I will pay you cash paypal if you do. I actually meant to ask because it seemed unJilli but I knew you dabbled in the Victoria's Revenge collection.

I stocked up like a crazy person with the Aromaleigh stuff, because it doesn't go bad and I didn't want to think about trying to find another foundation I really liked.

I did too. I think I have four or five unopened jars of ultra-resolution. Just made an error on one foundation that I might be able to trade with Burrell and make us both happy. Yay us peoples!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

The company that makes my foundation(and the facial wash I use) went to on-line sales only earlier this year. I've been buying a couple bottles at a time since I don't know if they're actually making the stuff anymore or if they're just selling what's in the warehouse.

(Its Prescriptives, and I use the Virtual Skin in Real Cream which evens out my skin tone nicely without being too heavy.)

I've gotten hooked on Paula's Choice RESIST lotion [link]

I've been using it for about a month, and my skin tone has evened out a lot. My hope is that my skin tone will eventually be so even that I won't need foundation at all.

I was going to Google something and now I can't remember what it was. Damnit.

I'm sure Google's working on a Chrome extension for that problem.

Jessica, that's the story of my life!

I had a good yoga today, which is always nice. We didn't do anything crazy, though I'm pretty close to eka pada koundinyasana II: [link] however close still means thudding to the floor.

I need a new yoga mat as my current one is slip sliddy in ways I don't like.

I have 22 more essays to grade then i'll be all caught up. I kinda just want to randomly assign grades.

Also, in terms of makeup, I bought L'Oreal's Visible Lift because they had a little match your skin by trying dabs of it in a magazine and I could actually try it in the bathroom light then the natural light and I could match their hues to the actual skin tone of my face. I'm easy like that.

I do moisturizer and foundation + lipstick. If I'm really fancy I'll do mascara. Otherwise, nothing. Oh and I usually do a scent of some sort -- maple is my go to scent. Followed by vanilla, or sugar cookies.

Oh, I am sample's bitch.

Let me try something, even for a small charge, before I buy full size and I am a loyal, loyal customer.

Our wings are not tired

If there are any theatre peeps around, I am wondering about something. In non-equity houses is the time for getting into costumes (1/2 hour) included in the 10 out of 12 time, or in addition? So if you are working 12 -12, are the actors called at 11:30 for costumes with a 12 go, or at 12 with a 12:30 go?

A late reply for this.

In equity like aurelia says, 10 of 12 is 10 of 12, actors work 10 hours and no more.

Non-equity gets pretty fuzzy. In LA there are non-equity theatres that are allowed to use equity actors and they are part of the AEA-99 system. They are actually limited to a maximum of 8 of 10, and I believe most of their rehearsals can't go past 6 hours, and they have a pretty low hour cap on the week.

If your theatre is expecting people to work more than a 10 of 12 they are shooting themselves. There is a finite amount of return they can get from people, especially the actors on stage. Pushing for an extra hour or two is foolish as it will be a very unproductive time. Theatres that have their shit together know this and work within the limits. Then again, most professional LORT houses I work in can tech a show in one 10 of 12 and maybe two additional rehearsals and then it is into a handful of previews and opening. Academic theatres that think the world works with multiple 10 of 12 rehearsals and a week of tech and then some previews make me laugh and laugh. Also theatres that think in the real work the overall rehearsal time with the actors is more than about 3 to maybe 4 weeks.

Yeah, I always wear a scent. Something chocolate. Will it make me smell like a chocolate-frosted cupcake? Then I will wear it.
