I am way too likely to buy girly bath-type products as it is, but when my hormones are acting up, I am bath gel's bitch. I am always very attracted to useless, candy-colored, flower-scented bath products, as my the state of my bathroom would make very evident. Today at SuperTarget (WHAT an evil place! I love it) I managed to keep myself mostly in line, though I did make a few useless purchases as usual.

I bought another footscrub thing, with a pumice on one side and a brush on the other, and a little loop to hang it up with. I vowed that this scrub would not meet the mildewy fate that had befallen all the others, necessitating the purchase of a hook on a suction cup. Then I bought a corner shelf and a basket, both on suction cups. These things will serve the important function of falling into the tub with a deafening clatter in the middle of the day and scaring the shit out of people. At least the hook works.

I also bought a Bonne Bell lipgloss-making kit, which I hope will soothe my urge to buy such kits. I love lipgloss. This kit comes with four little pots and two tubs of goo, with three tubes of flavor, all in a nice little storage box. When I saw it said "Use only under adult supervision," it took me a second to remember that I was an adult.

Keeping in mind that a tour is coming up, I also purchased Powerpuff Girls temporary tattoos, and most amusingly, a tube of glitter gel. The glitter gel is light pink. The tube has a pump at the end. I realized after I bought it that the shape of the tube itself made it the most phallic thing ever. Well, perhaps not ever, but hey, allow me some hyperbole. So it's real funny.

This evening I went over to Julie's and we watched "Empire Records" which always kind of irritates me. Then she went to get some Taco Bell, and after we painted our toenails we watched some of "Almost Famous," which I find mildly irritating; it also gives me this weird, faint longing sensation. Who knows.

Tomorrow I've got to do laundry and make lipgloss. I've gotta call some places too. And oh yeah, Manashi and I definitely are going to Fernbank on Sunday. We're seeing "Ocean Oasis" at IMAX and the Savage Ancient Seas special exhibit. I reiterate, I am a nerd. I would feel all self-conscious and be like, all sarcastic, "Don't you want my exciting life?" but I'm trying to get away from self-deprication.
