  • Guilty pleasure TV. I’ve become obsessed with watching in horror and judgement, those who live in abject filth. It justifies my OCD like you wouldn’t believe! Hoarders can be intense and the stubborn/sick families have little time to receive help from eggshell walking “professionals”. I think the help they receive infuriates me even more. Clean House is way more entertaining and a bit silly. The people are blatantly told they live like pigs (aren’t always on the psychologically ill level), and in the long run, have little say in the improvements made to their hovel. Trish Suhr is my favorite of the cleaning team. She’s the organizing specialist and damn, I wish I had her job.
  • I can milk a trial size for days, and I especially love the ones that come with a Sephora order. I always skip on the perfumes and go for skin treatments. My recent favorite is Per-fekt Eye Perfection Gel. It feels like cashmere around your eyes and just makes you look… better. Subtly and wonderfully better. At $45 for .3 oz, I’m agonizing over getting the full size. Then, there’s the Fusion beauty line. I was an addict to LipFusion Lip Plump for a while. The stuff is amazing and really works. Instead of just irritating your lips to plump them with a burning sensation, this contains micro marine collagen that is tiny enough to be absorbed by the skin and plumps with surrounding moisture. Well, I just tried LiftFusion Face Lift and it’s insanely good for tiny fine laugh lines. $140 for 1.7oz. Whoa.

  • “It’s on like a prawn who yawns at dawn.”
  • Cereal. I go through phases of not being able to get enough, could eat it at every meal, can I bathe in it? The type varies every time, rotating between Frosted Mini Wheats, Reeses Puffs, Cocoa Puffs, Apple Jacks, and currently Cocoa Pebbles.

  • The Shiba Inu puppy cam is back up with new puppies! They were just born on January 16! Wait until they start jumping and playing!

  • After more than 3 months of only eating 30 grams of fat a day, my doctor had my cholesterol checked again. Son of a bitch! My numbers got higher!!! I lost almost 10 pounds for god’s sake! I barely ate any cheese! I did eat some delicious hot wings though. They’re my vice and damnit my doctor said I could indulge more than I had been! So, yeah… I get to start Lipitor this week. I’m 30 years old for crying out loud. Thanks mom and dad. While your genes have blessed me with exceptional looks and smarts, your high cholesterol can suck it!
  • The redundancy of social media. I seriously had to sit for about an hour and assess who to follow and how, because things were getting out of control. Why be fan of something on Facebook and follow their Twitter if their updates only consist of new blog notifications, when I already subscribe on my Google Reader? I also don’t like my reader getting clogged with post-happy fools. Over 10 posts a day? I just don’t have the time.
  • Martinis and the glasses they come in. I will make numerous blind judgements about pretension when I see someone drinking one.
