impyNow a moment with pop-culture: Dear Jessicas of Hollywood:
Please stop speaking. There are some exceptions to this rule, but generally speaking you guys are coming across badly. We need only mention Jessica Simpson by name and people understand why she's banned from speaking. Jessica Biel has a knack for alienating people anytime she opens her mouth to a magazine. (And this is from someone who is decidedly not envious of her ...thing... with Timberlake because ew.) If you need a refresher course, she's one of those who swans around pretending she's so beautiful that she's unable to book jobs, that everyone is jealous of her, and that it's truly impossibly difficult to Be That Beautiful. Jessica Alba recently stepped in it when she did that whole "good actors never stick to the script" and honestly, much of the rest of that article isn't all that flattering to her, either.
Please stop speaking, ladies. You're embarrassing yourselves.
Moving along, I momentarily lost my mind yesterday and made one of those magazine Christmas trees I saw on Martha Stewart's site. It was actually relatively relaxing until the third step which required some coordination. Meh. Thing is, my cute little catalog tree (it was my trial run) is actually really cute. I want to make more. But I need spray glitter!
In other crafty news, I want to make an advent calendar this year. I'm trying to decide between an actual pop the windows open kind or a more crafty and less swear words involved kind. *muse*
At the same time I was bitten by the crafty bug, I was also bitten by the Pullip bug. Which I can't really do anything about because of a few things. One, my cable bill is insane and I have to call in because my mother utterly failed to harness her raging bitchiness that she's so good at doing for these sorts of things. Two, I'm saving myself for the holiday sale at work and then I'm casting a hopeful eye towards AG for cyber Monday. I know that if I have a little money set aside, they'll have a couple of things I would quite like to have at super cheap prices (last year's hair care kit for $5? Totally earned its keep already just for the brush alone.) but that if I have no money whatsoever, it will be filled with things I would kill for. (and if I had a lot of money set aside, it would have nothing.) Three? I'm pretty sure that unless I choose very, very carefully, I will want another Pullip/DAL and I don't really need another with the exception of my two If Hell Freezes Over options. (Noir and Principessa the second coming clone. Yes. I still want a twin for Princi.) They are frozen hell options because they tend to run the cost of a small internal organ. (So if you're suffering from a really high fever and wants yours to go to someone who will love them fierce but not offer you their first born or a kidney, lemme know. :P )
I called and got my bill down to a number I can sort of understand. For some insane fucking reason it's apparently two bills in one. They credited me back my last payment (essentially) and then... charged me the full price of this insanity for November and... you know, let's stop while I'm still vaguely confused. I spoke to a very nice representitive and she brought the "full" price down to the promo price. I still think someone got greedy, but if I do the math I can wrap my head around this number. (Two bills plus the admin fee and installation = pain.) People can cough up some money for the goddamned bill and it'll just suck this week.
I have an unbelievable headache. So I'm going to go mainline some Excedrin and get some sleep or something.
