Getting ready for the BOOM
I love Independence Day. Explosions, food, family, fun, explosions; It’s all good. We do a gathering up at a lake every year. (See, we can’t shoot off fireworks one this side of the river in town, but opposite the river in the other city you can. There’s just no where you can do it if you don’t live there is all. So, lake.) We have a few generic G.I Joe dolls that we’ve named Major Tom. Our goal? Get his ass to space.
Today: Take an inventory of our ordinance and see what needs replenishing and see what we can skip, thus spending money on booms more efficiently. It’s a good thing.
90% of our munitions

A little something
Been running with a crappy couple coats of a Sally Hanson insta-dry purple and generally unhappy with how it came out. (Was having a bad nail day and after 3 tries to not fuck it up i gave up.) Today I finally took it off and replaced it. Base is Afterthoughts: Attitudes – Superstar. The water marble on the tips is made up of Orly – Snowcone, Essie – Chastity, and Sonia Kashuk – Violetta. Must remember that Chastity spreads for shit in water and that Snowcone dried super fast in it.

April. God, I’m trying to post more regularly. Apparently I’m not much a creature of posting habit. Go me.
Anyway, am randomly writing again. This is good. It’s something I haven’t really done in a long time. I’m currently working on my New Gods stuff, fleshing out history at the moment and getting ideas together for more of a cohesive plot. Something like that usually helps. Am also coming up with more descriptive information so that I know what I need to find information on when I redesign again.
I’ve also taken it upon myself to do a terrible thing. You see, last week sometime, my husband left a sketchbook under the coffee table with a doodle for something he’s designing and building. He’s also been playing a shit-ton of Dwarf Fortress (google it). So I drew my rendition of a Designer Dwarf on the page along with “Designer Dwarf approves this. So now I’m going to draw the NINE BILLION dwarf jobs. Or at least a chunk of them, as some seem redundant to me. And them I’m going to do a random comicy, Smurf-like series. In theory. I’m bad at following through on my plans.
I also found the rest of my hat boxes today and decided I need to go through and redo my nail polish storage situation. I’ve kept them in hat boxes since I was a teen and actually found a hat box. Currently I had only found 4 (I have a set of 5 nested and a random pink one, which was the first one I got) of which 3 were used for nail storage, the fourth relegated to cotton ball storage duty in the bathroom. (It’s a tiny box) That one remains in its home. I’m now using 5 for nail stuff. The hubby gave a look of horror when I showed it to him when he got home. Then put his hands on my shoulders and told me I have enough.
But before that, I took a new set of pictures of my collection! Maybe this weekend I’ll actually start making a spreadsheet of everything I have…mostly so I stop doubling up. >.>
My collection has increased a bit in the past few months…
Mostly added China Glaze, O.P.I, Essie and Zoya to the fold. And a bunch more from Icing. And a few from Sinful. Damn you, Something Awful thread!
