1. Food: Dove Chocolate Covered Almonds
I bought these the other day because I'm on a healthier-eating kick and wanted some sort of small chocolate morsels to keep around for when I just want a bite or two of something sweet. Are you laughing yet, do you see the joke I played upon myself? A bite or two, haha. As if. They're gone now. That's why I don't have a picture to accompany this. They're seriously amazing.
2. Game: Borderlands
Jen got me re-hooked on Borderlands, and I realized I had never even finished the storyline the last time I was playing it frequently. Obviously I had to remedy this, both for closure's sake and for the achievements (I live for videogame achievements; they negate the feeling of wasting time playing games, because hey, it says right there that I achieved something today).
3. Material possession: This cheap knockoff perfume spray.
First let's get the obvious out of the way: this is the most embarrassingly early '90s packaging of any product currently being sold. But how could I resist? "If you like Obsession, you'll love Confess!" It's like the Netflix recommendation system for your schnostrils. I love that they called it Confess, too. Like they were sitting around in a marketing meeting and someone pointed out "Hey, if these creeps are buying something called Obsession they've probably also got some shit they could stand to Confess, am I right? Like stalking, maybe?" And I do like Obsession, but only after I've been wearing it for a little while. I hate the way it smells when I first spray it. This stuff smells the way Obsession does after it's had a chance to mellow out a bit. AND it was $2.97, making it kind of an obvious choice. I'm still going to wear my Calvin Klein Obsession on days when I want to feel like I have a little self respect (because every time I pick up that pastel aerosol can up there, a little bit of my tiny stores of class erodes away), but if I'm just going to be hanging around wallowing in self-pity and I want to smell nice, totally reaching for the cheapie knockoff.
4. Random thing that amuses the hell out of me: This Tank Top
Not gonna lie, this shirt instantly made me think of one particular person, but it could also be useful for those days when every creep I pass seems to have something super charming (uh-oh, check out the sarcasm meter -- buried the needle!) to say and it makes me want to rain down blood and vengeance upon the world. I may be ordering this soon.
