Heaven answered my prayers! America's Next Dance Crew episodes are online! OMG! This is awesome since a)its new new fave show, b)i don't have cable and c) my "friends" refuse to tivo it for me!! can you believe it? This is truly the most amazing, awesome, mind-boggling show. I will now plug in my computer and spend the next 7 hours watching the archives.

Bacteria: Update

Ok, look. I don't know why I thought I would remember to eat a yogurt every single day for 2 weeks. So I have no idea if I won the bacteria challenge. But the yogurt is creamy and delicious enough that it's worth taking the risk that it's doing something good in my guts. Anyone else remembering to eat it every day and have anything interesting to report?

Consumer Reporting: McSkillet Burrito

Sorry this is late, gang. Obviously, I had this w/o the sausage. But this was actually pretty good. surprisingly. However, the "salsa" was a tad spicy for those of us who have northern palates. Additionally, i didn't really care for the american cheese...i wish they would make the leap to an actual cheese instead of a cheese "product," but anyway, this was good. I think i recommend it.

An Absurd Invention

What. in the hell. is "fat-free" half and half? Can someone please explain to me how that works? Last time I checked, fat had a little something to do with half and half. I'm pretty sure the ingredients on half and half look a little something like this: milk. "Fat-free" half and half is skim milk with corn syrup and a bunch of junk in it. Is it really, really worth it? If you're only going to use a tablespoon or so, don't you DESERVE the 2g of fat? I mean, come on. Let's prioritize.

Consumer Reporting: Sally Hershberger Wavy Primer UPDATE

Ladies and Gents:
I still love this product, but a little warning...the instructions say to put it in, let it set for 2 mintues, and THEN add your other product. MALE SURE YOU DO! I accidentally forgot to wait the 2 minutes and it was a disaster. My waves were embarrassing and the textures was gross. I had to wear a hat for the rest of the day.

Consumer Reporting: Sally Hershberger Wavy Primer

Well, the proof is in the pudding. My coworker complimented my waves this morning and didn't even know I'm experimenting! Verdict: worth it. I can't wait to use up some of my other products so I can get more from the Sally Hershberger line! Oh, crumb, I guess her only other wavy products are the shampoo/conditioner and Walgreens just had a 2-4-1, so I now have 2 bottles of Marc Anthony to get through.

Another exciting feature of Sally Hershberger is that is smells very Aveda-esque...delicious! Unfortunately I didn't walk around smelling it all day, but when I put it in in the morning it was ecstasy.

Consumer Reporting: Sally Hershberger Wavy Primer and Marc Anthony Lotion

Well, I need some more hair goo for "wavy days," and I was excited to try a Marc Anthony product. Now, while I love the smell of the shampoo (coconutty), the "lotion" smells like limes. So the combo smells like some kind of Caribbean daquiri. Now, I'm all for the Caribbean! But i don't want someone to poke a straw in my head.

Tomorrow I am going to add something else to the mix: Sally Hershberger Primer Supposedly, this makes any of your wavy products work better. I'll be the judge of that! At $13/a pop, she'd better not disappoint.

Consumer Reporting: Special K Protein Bar

Since I am at the library if I'm not at work or sleeping, I needed to find some fillings snack to put in my school bag. I stumbled upon these Special K protein bars that have 10g protein. And a veg like me can use all the protein she can get.

Now, the packaging looks promising, because the pic on the front looks exactly like a whatchamucallit bar (remember those?!? mmm!)However, in reality, it tastes more like sawdust with a chocolately shell. I will probably finish the box, but I don't recommend you buy them. Unless it's an emergency. Or you like sawdust.

PS It also tastes like liquor...but not in a good way.

A Pleasure to My Ears

Well, here I am at the library, as usual, but tonight is special. I have the distinct pleasure of listening to the guy 3 feet away from me snore. He's at the next carol, and he has his tossed back and he features an interesting combo between a wet, uvula*-vibrating gargle, occasionally marred by little chokes and soft purrs. I am temped to lob something at him to wake him up, but it would be clear who the culprit is. I will experiment with different methods of awakening him.

First comes the carol jolt.
Result: Unsuccessful. It's too heavy.

Next: loud noise.
Result: Success.

*Not vulva, you dirty pig. That thing that hangs in the back of your throat.

Now maybe i can get some work done.

Bacteria

I have decided to take the Activia challenge. My digestive system can use all the help it can get. But I wasn't terribly impressed with the yogurt. A-#1, it has blubbery fruit in it. Gross. I could barely manage it. So today I decided to try the Yoplait version...de-licious! Creamy and rich, yet low-fat! And 3 grams of fiber. I'll keep you updated.

Consumer Alert! Do Not Buy This Lip Color!

I had this on my dresser for weeks so I'd remember the name of it and could warn people against buying it, but every time I saw it it made me angry, so I finally had to throw it out. But don't worry, it had been burned in my brain: Maybelline Super Stay Lipcolor http://www.maybelline.com/Product/Lip/LipColor/superstay-lipcolor.htm is a waste of time and some kind of conspiracy; I don't know how it won those awards.

I followed the directions EXACTLY, because I bought that Cover Girl long-lasting lip stuff several years ago, and it flaked off and made my lips itchy, so I knew what I was up against. OK, so I decided to try it on in the privacy of my own home so I wouldn't walk around looking like a freak if it got all weird. And weird it was. I sat in a chair for ONE HOUR. ONE. HOUR. I did not eat or drink. When I got up, ALL the lip color in the middle of my lips had completely vanished, leaving a bizzare border. I couldn't even look at myself, it was so weird looking. Can you imagine if I were just running around town looking like that? Instead of buying this product, I recommend rippin up $11 into tiny pieces and flushing them down the toilet. It will be less frustrating.
