I think kiehl’s is making me break out. thanks gina.

By christa 27 April, 2007 random

I listened to michael penn’s march on the way to work this morning and it made me so happy to listen, and I thought for sure I was going to be in a good mood all day, and I was. Or I thought I was anyway, I believed I felt pretty goovy, but then my boss asked me if I was feeling alright, I seemed a little off, was I okay?

Which makes me think that maybe I wasn’t in as good a mood as I thought. but jeez, I must totally be cracked, if I feel like I might be in a good mood when I’m actually not. And my supposed good mood feelings were being displayed as un-okayness to everyone around me. It’s like, you feel okay, but the people surrounding you keep asking “what’s wrong?” and “are you okay?” and “did you take your medicine?” etc, leaving you filled with self-doubt and worry, because if all these jerks are wondering what’s wrong, then something must be wrong. Right? RIGHT??!?

Only I guess I wasn’t rocking my patented Michael Penn Mood, at least not like I should have been. You know why? Because my damn banana family and their band of constant noise. The morning circus made me miss all the good parts of the album, all my favorites, I wasn’t able to stretch my lyrical legs out in dreamy solitude or adpot that I’m-in-a-music-video coolness. Not with Ry saying “mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom mom mom mama, mommy mom mom mom mama mamamamamamamamamammomom mommy mamo mama mom mom mommy mommy mommy mama mama momma momey mom mom momma MAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAAMAHMONEYMOMAMAMAMAMAMOMMY” and Gordon honking and twitching and talking.

Then later, after I got to work and decide to pop in the headphones, the freaking ipod is dead. mothersunofastore. No big deal really, I wasn’t crying on my computer you know, I wasn’t even all that annoyed, I just played some drone zone from itunes radio and did my thing. It was all copasetic.

But I guess not. The whole musical enjoyment smack down tweaked my vibe and my boss picked up on it, because later she gave me a present, all packaged up nice in a big yellow envelope. And not just big. ginormous. you know those private detective envelopes, the kind they always have the racy photos in, the ones that prove adultery once and for all? It was one of those, only times ten. I could put Ryland in there and mail him, for chrissakes.

Inside this giant envelope was the shiny pretty masthead proof, straight from prepress. And there, my name, all black and texty in its glossy glory. eeeeee!!!! I love it. My boss is the coolest girl in the commonwealth.

Now on to hockey. I’m loving the playoffs, I am really loving them. Very enjoyable. I was wondering though, if maybe it feels like pro hockey is becoming an insane, life-sized game of chess, fantasy hockey for all the rich old men. White men.

I suppose I should just move to fricking canada already.

frigging canadians.

why do you do it to me?

p.s. I read over this quickly to make sure I didn’t make any boneheaded mistakes like the last post, but I’m sure I did and I don’t care right now. I want to go to bed. being awake is so overrated. and for losers. I’m neither overrated nor a loser, grammar and punctuation be damned.

p.p.s. or is it p.s.s. I think it’s p.p.s. I am both overrated AND a loser, but grammar and punctuation? you two still be damned.

    I don’t think it’s the Kiehl’s – I think it’s your bad attitude! Anyway, did you get the sunscreen version or what? It costs $30, so that means it shouldn’t make you break out right? You might as well switch to that god awful smelling oil of olay. What is “olay” anyways?

    Congrats on the gift from your boss.

    I noticed something though. I subscribed to your RSS feed in my Gmail reader. So, every so often it puts a loafe headline in with all the other headlines and Google sponsored links. Google does some sneaky advertising, though. They market their ads to you based on the content of your email. It appears that your previous headline, “trippin on tampons, yo” has swayed the virtual ad salespeople at Google to advertise to me something called, “www.MyMonthlyCycles.com – Completely track your menstrual cycles for free.”

    Thanks.

    I love Michael Penn so much. It’s nice to know there’s another fan out there somewhere.

    I’m sure you probably have it, but you should check out Mr Hollywood Jr, the album he self-released last year, it’s incredible.
