Okay, I seem to have the make-up and hair situation under control for tomorrow's big event - my friend from high school is getting married and I am one of the bridesmaids. I'm excited because I think it is going to be a very unique wedding. The ceremony and reception are being held at the American Visionary Arts Museum. You know you're in for something different when the wedding organizer is wearing flip flips with skulls on them, has tattoos on her arms and legs, and a t-shirt that says "I LOVE ROCK" on the front.

See, here is the truth...I don't really know how to put make-up on and I'm horrible at doing my hair. AD usually helps me out with the make-up, especially with eyeliner. I can't do that AT ALL. But I just spent a good twenty minutes in the bathroom finding a color that went with my dress and figuring out a way to apply it, and deciding on a hairstyle I could do on my own that should look better than just a ponytail.

I will experience my first professional manicure tomorrow. I'm kinda nervous. I put some cheap nail polish on a few weeks ago and it killed my nails, so they are looking pretty gross. I just took off the black nail polish I had on all week so they are a nice dark color right now too...ah well, I guess its sort of like eating Oreos before you go to the dentist...

AD took the underwater disposable camera over to Walgreens. This is the camera I bought for our trip to Bermuda from last October. Finally got the photos. Among the 24, there was one really cute shot of the two of us in the ocean, so it was worth it. We happened to have a frame lying around from three Christmases ago that was empty so AD just put it in there. We are pretty darn cute.

So, I have about 5 pages left in the FINAL Y: The Last Man comic book series. I have a feeling I might cry why I read the last page. I'm going to miss these characters. I loved hanging out with Yorick and 355 and Beth and Hero and following their adventure. And now it is almost over. If it is hard for me to just read those last few pages, I wonder what it was like to write them? At least when I am finished, I can look for some BKV interviews and read his comments on the end.

Okay, time to finish this...*tears up*

• 12:34 I have today off because I already have Friday off. It's a library thing. Now to at least attempt to get something done. #

I didn't realize it was a direct sequel to Casino Royale. Yeah, we'll be seeing this one opening weekend. :)

Harmonix announced Rock Band 2, schedule for release in September on Xbox360!

Best part: Everything is still compatible. All the controllers will still work and the downloaded songs will also work. You just get to rock harder.

HECK YES!

• 15:18 not sure about Plurk. I don't find the format as readable as Twitter. I think I will pass on that bit of Web 2.0 www.plurk.com #

created a new header for my livejournal -- orangerful -- I'm quite happy with it though I'm still not sure about the whole color scheme for the page...I shall try it for a few days and see if my eyeballs go crazy. At first I was thinking the page should be white and the journal portion should have the orange but I think that would be hard to read.

Took me 2+ hours to figure out how to mess with the CSS that I ganked from minty_peach so long ago. My brain hurts now though, so I'm gonna stop now.

AD made blueberry pie from the blueberries we picked last week with heiland_coo. OMG SO GOOD!

Tomorrow I'm going to the post office to mail off my application for the YA Services position. We'll see if anything happens. I drove by the exit for Bel Air on the way up to the wedding Friday...it would be a crap commute but I'm not even going to concern myself with issues like that until I need to. Right now, lets see if I even make the interview cut.

Hm...I need to make a new default icon.

How sweet is this? We have to read a Bestseller for one of my courses, and I was stressing over what James Patterson top ten title I was going to have to suffer through. Then today our teacher says we can choose from any New York Times list, including Children's. Well, I take a look and see that Little Brother by Cory Doctorow is on there, and I am currently reading that book! I'm actually about halfway through! HUZZAH!

On top of that, I just finished writing up my resume for the Harford County job I'm applying for, and what is my first assignment for my Practicum class? A RESUME! HUZZAH INDEED!

I feel so accomplished. :D

So, I've been asked THREE times this past weekend for cash from random people. First was on Thursday, when I was filling up my car at the gas station behind my house. Guy walked up and gave me this big story about how he forgot his wallet at home ("Its attached to a chain and I grabbed my regular chain but it was on the dress chain"). Anyway, I give him $4 to at least get a gallon in his car. Figured I could earn some karma before my road trip on Friday.

Then, Saturday after we got out of the wedding up in Lehigh, these two guys come up to us while we're on the campus. The one guy is acting like he's almost in tears, talking about how they have no gas they are not from around here and he can't get a hold of his bank on his cell phone blah blah blah. I figure, fine whatever it is all plausible and Lehigh is a crap place to be stranded in June. So I give him $5. Whatever. More karma for me, yes?

TODAY on the drive home, ANOTHER couple approached us at one of the rest stops. My karma, and my wallet, were so over this. So I told them no, I'm sorry, I need my cash for tolls. They seemed genuine, the girl seemed to be in tears and the guys story about screwing up his PIN number and getting locked out of his account seemed plausible, but then again, I might have SUCKER written on my forehead.

Anyway, has anyone else had similar experiences recently? Or is it that I haven't done many roadtrips in the summer so I haven't run in to these people as much?

• 23:11 okay, I've never had to go to "older" posts on twitter before in a single day. I've turned our innocent librarians into Twitter addicts! #
• 23:11 going to Allentown tomorrow for a wedding. I hope it is as fun a place as the Billy Joel song says :p #

The DC Metro Area Star Wars Collecting Club (DCSWCC) has a limited amount of Boba Fett pins for sale. Each pin is $10 and the proceeds will go to the Aluminum Cans for Burned Children Program, whose mission is to prevent burns and improve the quality of life for young burn survivors and their families.

I recently got mine in the mail and it is really cool. The design is the Holiday Special Boba Fett, but you'll notice his jetpack has a little something extra. :)

Anyway, if you want to help raise money for a good cause, now is your chance. I believe there are only about 250 left out of the original 1000.

Please pass this one to any other Star Wars fans you might know. (grins at snarkel with her magical cj_rss powers).
