I do not want to go search the interwebs for sites for Leise (because I will Hulk smash), but I will say this - there has to be Japanese sites. When I wanted to to see the coolest in shiny shiny girly girly nail, make-up, and shiny jewelry things I would go to the Japanese stores in NYC. ok, or some of the Korean shops since I used to work right there.

ION - I am using some Capsaicin stuff for my arthritis and OW I must have a ton of small scratches on that hand from weeding. I think I am going to have to take another shower to get it off unless it eases soon.

The Mally eyeliners at QVC.

I've tried them! Sadly, they didn't work for me. I'm glad they work for you, though!

oh and also? I want to go to B'more and take sara shopping.

I'm watching Raising Hope. I knew from the moment they unveiled Virginia's knick-knack hoard in the garage that Maw-Maw's jenga skills were going to come into play .

In 1950, the United States was fifth among the leading industrialized nations with respect to female life expectancy at birth, surpassed only by Sweden, Norway, Australia, and the Netherlands. The last available measure of female life expectancy had the United States ranked at forty-sixth in the world. As of September 23, 2010, the United States ranked forty-ninth for both male and female life expectancy combined.

Just to underscore the rapidity of the decline, as recently as 1999, the U.S. was ranked by the World Health Organization as 24th in life expectancy. It's now 49th. There are other similarly potent indicators. In 2009, the National Center for Health Statistics ranked the U.S. in 30th place in global infant mortality rates. Out of 20 "rich countries" measured by UNICEF, the U.S. ranks 19th in "child well-being." Out of 33 nations measured by the OECD, the U.S. ranks 27th for student math literacy and 22nd for student science literacy. In 2009, the World Economic Forum ranked 133 nations in terms of "soundness" of their banks, and the U.S. was ranked in 108th place, just behind Tanzania and just ahead of Venezuela.

Collapsing empire watch

Virtual high five, Matt!

I could see it coming and yet that whole scene was still hilarious.

Hey Chicago-istas - does Frontera Grill take reservations?

well a shower only partially helped. hand is now in ice water. It feels like it's been burned pretty badly, like the whole back of my hand and fingers. guess I need another product for the pain.

Try soaking it in cold milk.

Oh la la, I am wearing makeup. Primer and brow pencil and brow wax (I could stand to replenish those, for sure) and eye shadow and about to hit up the lip gloss, and let me see if I have some mascara up in there somewhere.

I am stupefied by the amount of lipstick I own. I found an entire pouch of it I didn't know I had. I don't know what I'd been thinking.
