Ok, so I am unemployed and as such have spent a lot of time watching morning television. The View, Rachel Ray, Live with Regis and Kelly, The Tyra Banks show, you name it, I’ve been watching it (in my defence I haven’t been watching Maury, although a few more weeks of unemployment and paternity tests here I come).
With all this TV watching I’ve noticed something very important, Tyra Banks loves herself a jumpsuit. That or the show has a really low wardrobe budget. She’s worn a jumpsuit (I’m convinced the same one-a heather grey one–see picture #1 below) nearly every day for the past two weeks. She’s also recycling belts, in particular a yellow belt/sash (Don’t think I didn’t notice Tyra. I did).
Don’t get me wrong she rocks the look, and it can’t be denied there are plenty of benefits to a one-piece outfit., comfort (it’s like a onesie for adults), not having to worry about picking separates, that sort of thing. But you know, there are negatives too. Continue reading →
This is my new favourite site. It’s almost at stumbleupon level of love, not yet, but almost (really not even remotely close, but it’s still great). Check it out: http://explodingdog.com
Here’s a list of 5 things I should be doing with my life, that I am incomprehendingly not doing:
1. Searching for a real job
I’m done school for the foreseeable future so I should really get going on the whole finding a job so I can apply those skills I (read: my parents) paid a pretty penny for. But I have this great (read: clerical hell but pays well) buffer summer job so I haven’t committed any time to thinking about my future past August 29th (the fast approaching date of my impending unemployment).
2. Getting a life
I don’t have one. Obviously. Have we met? No? Well I have no life. Which leads me to wonder where all my time goes…I mean the time I don’t spend consciously twiddling my thumbs.
3. Not paying obscene (at least I think so) $$ for a cut and dye
So while I’m quite seasoned in the world of haircuts, I’ve only just begun exploring the wonderful world of hair colour and while I quite enjoy the subtle (I’m not ready for bleach blonde yet, but I’ll let you know when I try it-cause I will) differences, I don’t enjoy how much it costs. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not ridiculous, it’s just I kinda miss my $35 (sometimes amazing…sometimes time to start wearing a hat) haircuts at House of Lords.
4. Stop convincing myself things are what they aren’t, and then being surprised when it turns out that what I erroneously convinced myself was true, is in fact not true.
Do you follow? No? Well it involves dinner, a poor choice of words (or several), and a too long hug. Oh and alot of hoping, waiting, wishing. ALOT.
5. Putting my creative skills to good use.
What happened to craft time? I use to make time for crafts, when did that stop? I don’t even remember the last time I held a paintbrush. Where did all the happy little trees go?
Sometimes when I’m really bored I like to rewatch my favourite scenes/episodes from movies/shows.
Here’s a selection for your viewing pleasure. Check it out after the jump.
PS-I am sorry for the quality of some of these. It’s not my fault, blame youtube.
