I am the biggest nerd in the world. I just discovered I have the ability to video blog. Or just video myself. Or talk to my computer and delete the evidence quickly. I was inspired to see if such web mastery was possible after semi-watching the premiere of “Quarterlife” last night, (anyone else catch that? what are your thoughts?). Just wait internets, wait until you get me in print AND video. Your mind will explode. However is not the reason I’m a nerd. I’m a nerd because I’ve had my Mac since June and I’m just figuring out how to work iMovie. Lest you forgot the weeks it took me to stumble my way around wordpress, this is not “techno-girl blogs,” it’s more like “no-tech-knowledge girl blogs”.
Aside from having to educate myself in this new-fangled vlogging/video creating mess, I’m in a great mood. I’ve made good on my promise to spend more time in the company of Mr. Treadmill and Ms. Leafy Green Vegetables and my body is thanking me for it. Also I’m back on the barrage of vitamins, including Omega-3’s which I swear make me feel like a whole different (read: happier) person.
AMD, my yoga instructor/perfect posture/so-nice-you-want-to-strangle-her-sometimes friend and I decided that the duathlon would be a better goal for us than a triathlon. I had visions of myself drowning mid-swim. I haven’t mastered the whole “swim and breathe” concept and after about 2 lengths I feel like I’m drowning. Anyway the 2 mile run-17 mile bike-5k run will work better for us and I’m looking forward to sending in my registration and having something to work towards at the gym. Currently now the biggest thrill I get at the gym is trying to figure out what the closed captioning was supposed to say on all the televisions that are inconveniently set to Fox News. Gag.
I’ve also been ridiculously good about getting shit done. My room is semi-clean and organized. My mornings have been much less rushed (yet I still cannot manage to get to work on time), and everything has been going swimmingly (except for the swimming, as you probably figured out…).
Since I don’t have class on Wednesdays I had the afternoon to do my own thing, and taking a hint from Chelsea I tried to fill some of my “well.” I picked up some titles from a local bookstore that’s closing and made out like a bandit and then I spent some time at Walgreen’s today trying to find the perfect shade of red lipstick that will make me look like my new girl crush- Kat Dennings in “Charlie Bartlett.” Since I’m rocking the black hair, fair skin look right now I feel it’s only appropriate to have some pin-up girl red lipstick to complete the retro-sexy look.
Love!
She even has a blog: KAT! Where some crazy homemade music videos can be found.
Back to Walgreens: I don’t know about you, but I get sucked into drug stores. I stood there, debating between Royal Red, Penelope Red, British Red, Summer Red, Ravishing Red, Briar Rose Red, etc. for at least half an hour. It sucks to shop at drug stores because unlike higher end places you can’t try anything and you’ll still be out nine bucks for a tube of lipstick. So I’m standing there, holding up handfuls of lipstick to the tiny little mirror trying to see what particular shade of crayola crayon-named lipstick would look the best on my Irish girl death-pale skin. And then, by the grace of all that is makeup, a bright light came down from the halogen bulbs and illuminated the “Last Chance!” lipstick selection. And out of the 10 that remained, I found my shade. For $3.49. I win.
Now if I could only find the perfect red, non-peep-toe, non-patent leather high heeled shoe I’d be a happy consumerist camper.
