Oyin Handmade

Well, I finally got my complete order from Oyin, and I say finally because it did take two weeks to get everything. Well, more than two weeks, but that's neither here nor there. I have 9 items in total and out of the nine, I'd say that I like (off the bat) three. Eh... four. I'm not *that* keen on the Juices and Berries, but it's merely ok. Upon first blush, I think the Greg Juice smells like a bad cleanser, like Pine Sol or something. The honey wash really isn't that great smelling and my biggest disappointment was the scent of the honey hemp conditioner. Oh, youtubers raved about the scent of that and how marvelous it is. I don't doubt that it works marvelously, but the scent... doesn't really make me happy. I was expecting something much better. It smells like old chocolate and old cheap chocolate at that.

Now, I may rescind those statements, as I have not actually used them on my person, so I'm witholding complete judgement until I do. But for now, upon initial sniffing, Oyin Handmade, you do not impress me.

Having said that, I DO like the burnt sugar pomade, whipped pudding (mmm chocolatey) and the shine and define. Funny thing about the pomade and the S&D; putting the S&D on and then the pomade produces a weird smell, but rubbing them together and then applying smells better. Eh, who knows.

So, the clear winner is Karen's Body Beautiful. Not only does she deliver in a very timely manner, her scents are delicious and the product works well on my hair. I still have to find the right amount of product to use though. When I first got it, I'd saturated my hair and the curl was loose and a bit limp. This time, I'd just used a bit of the hair milk (which I'm already running low on!) and some of the Oyin products. The hair is soft, but not as "wet". I can still feel some of the product on the hair, but it's much drier than it was the first time around. So, I think I'll have to put on just a little bit more and perhaps strike a balance. I wonder what the freebie friday will bring, because I definitely will be ordering more from KBB. I think it's cool that she has these free giveaways and coupons. I mean, the stuff isn't *that* cheap, so every bit helps, especially if you're saving on shipping and what not.

It's unlikely that I will be ordering from Oyin again, but if anything it would be the pomade and maybe the shine and define... though I didn't see much shine to the hair. I might be able to produce the same effect with some 100% Aloe gel. So, if I can find that, I'll be ok. I've seen some 99% Aloe gel, wtf? Eh.

Anyway, I was thinking about getting my brow pierced. I probably will not, because I don't want to be fired. So I may just get the ears pierced again. I keep saying that I want to, but I never do it. *shrugs*

There's a new photo of Zoe as Aisha. Man, she looks great!





Maybe that's Cougar in the background??? Fab. I can't wait for the movie. I hope it doesn't suck. Yeah, that's hoping for too much there. Speaking of black actresses, why didn't anyone tell me that Gabrielle Union and John Cho are engaged in that show Flash Forward?? I have to see this!!! Damn. Now I have to sign in and download those episodes. Let's hope they don't just make me mad. TA!

Team Sylar!

Go team, go go go.

*shakes pom poms*

Oh and THREE DAY WEEKEND!

I printed out 4 more issues of The Losers to read. Yay. Heroes marathon? Yes please... but first running at the track, house hunting and NO JUNK FOOD. It's been two days, which is pretty awesome in my book. I've been eating real food and more of it, so that I won't have those cravings that I get when I'm not quite full. Yay for food. *laughs* that sounds so silly.

I must admit that issues 13 and 14 were illustrated by someone other than Jock. I hate, hate, hate the style. It looks like some 50s Superman comic. And one of the few shots of Aisha in it, have her bent over, legs splayed and ass up in the air, while we're looking down her top. Yeah, classy. I hate male artists most times. Jesus.


Day 2: No Junk Food



Mood: : Thrilled

Monday and it's hot!

Well, was shopping in the market and passed the magazines and who do I see smirking out at me from the rack, but good old Banaboy. Man is he fine. He is so gorgeous, it should be illegal. And I really loved his hair. I have an issue (thanks so someone leaving it on the free table at work) of... Details, I think with him on the cover looking angry and old. I was not feeling that! But if someone leaves this issue, I'm all over it.

Oh, I finished the Losers and let's just say that it was quite unexpected and a bit disappointing. I was like, wtf? Shit. Clay, Aisha, and Cougar die? What the heck. I've never seen that before. And her whole "death to America" thing wasn't really working. I think they could have done a little with their story line without killing them all. Now it makes me wonder what the future of the movie or movies will be. I know that movies change from the comics, but how can you get around main characters dying? Dunno.

Oh and PUSH with Chris Evans was pretty decent. I could have seen a black girl in one of those roles, but, you know Hollywood.


Mood: : Chipper

Well... I finally talked to the real estate agent and she seems on the up and up. Now I'm worried that I won't be able to find something that I like in my price range. Poop.

I've seen some behind the scenes shots from The Losers and I was dismayed to see Zoe outfitted in heels and red trousers. I don't remember seeing Aisha wearing anything like that, something impractical for throat slitting and ass kicking. I hope they don't sex her up to the point where she seems improbable... I can see it happening.



Mood: : Content

Heck, I forgot to post yesterday. I'm bad at this everyday thing. *laughs*

Well, I got a new real estate agent, so let's see how she works out. She's not licensed to work in the next state, so if I'm going to edge into PA, I'll have to get someone in there.

Ooo the printing of the losers is going well. I've got up to issue 4 done and I'll have to send some more to print tomorrow. Yay. *rubs hands together*

I'm interested in doing some parkour, but I don't know where to start. I'm chatting up this guy who's into adventure sports, so maybe he might have an idea. This new guy seems like a load of fun. Even if it doesn't work out romantically, we might be play partners. Woo.

Ooo, I can make Joan into parkour, that would be cool. She can show Jason a few things ;) I am really itching to write them, but I need to flesh out not only them, but the storyline. So that'll wait until inspiration hits.


Mood: : Optimistic

Ummm... Tuesday?

So um Lady Gaga is supposedly intersexed? Neat ;)

Now, the only reason I know about her is that someone used a song of hers as a spock/uhura vid, which turned out to be really cute. So I searched out some more songs. Eh, they're ok, nothing to write home about.

Damn it's hot. I might have to sleep downstairs tonight again like I did last night. It was boiling in my bedroom. Jesus.

Oh and calling the real estate agent tomorrow! I got home too late to be ringing her, but it's someone new and hopefully this one will work out.

And the losers, of course. I'm emailing myself jpgs so that I can print them out on the color printer at work. No way am i going to use up all my ink for this shite. And I also refuse to buy it. I know I'll read it once, enjoy it and that's it. Gotta save for the house, mate, and besides work owes me for the stress it causes.


Mood: : Ummmm....

Monday

Right, enough with the griping... at least for now. I've decided to work on my pissy outlook on life. It's not really me, per se, it's my workplace. It brings out the worst in me. It really does. It screws up with my happy optomistic tendencies and I don't like it. So, now I've decided not to take it so seriously. Not to take things so seriously and life altering and just have some bloody fucking fun. My life is soooo fucking boring that I could cry. Literally weep buckets, that's how boring it is. I need something. No, not drugs or shit like that, I'm not about screwing with my body, I do that enough *waggles brows*... I am just wanting something, something genuinely fun and exciting.

I suppose everyone is looking for that, eh?

But, for me, it can't be summed up with a trip to the beach or to an amusement park... that kind of thing isn't very fun... and it's boring. Maybe I'm looking for something more dangerous. You know, like those bored housewives who start swinging... haha. no... that's fucked.

Maybe I need to join a demolition derby team and crack some heads. Maybe I should get into a fight at a bar... nah, those fools would follow me out and shoot me or something. Maybe a tattoo... or a piercing in an intimate place.......

I could never really get into a tattoo, because my tastes change so much, so rapidly that whatever design I choose would have to be something very personal and very fitting. I have no idea what that would be though, so... I'll stay away from the permanent ones. I prefer either drawing on myself, or getting the lickandstick ones.

Meh... and man am I so bloated right now. i fucking hate getting my period. There should be an out clause about having it or not having it. I don't mind the bleeding, it's whatever... but the nightmares, the bad moods, the cravings the terrible sleep the bloating... all that shit I can do without. It's unfair and I don't want fucking kids, so why the fuck should I have to go through this shit every fucking months. At least it lasts only a few days, but still, it's a pain in the arse.

Man, this must be my swearing post. How many four letter words can I cram into this post? *laughs*

I started up with the guitar again... have to build up the calluses again. Painful stuff. I wish I hadn't waited so long to pick it up again. It's not like I didn't have any time. I have plenty of time, lack of interest. Bored. See! There it is again. Bored. Bored Bored.

I need to strike that word from my vocabularly. There was a quote from Vigs where he said that there is no excuse to be bored in life. Amen to that Aragorn ;)

Anyway, I'm knee deep in The Losers and am enjoying it very much. Only one complaint and that's with my girl Aisha. Um... doesn't she own clothes that completely cover her belly? Are all her shirts that tight over her bulging breasts that they don't meet the top of her skin tight jeans? I'm asking one of the guest artists, now... Jock's been pretty good about dressing the woman in appropriate clothing. Ok, I'll give the fanboys the boobs, which fortunately are a decent size without being obscene. And what's with drawing on the nipples, eh? Women have nipples, we get it. Sometimes they poke out against the shirt she's wearing, we get it. Sometimes they don't, depending on the type of shirt and bra that she's wearing. Sometimes the nipples point upwards... most times not. Sometimes they get hard when she's experiencing a strong emotion; (as does everyone who has nipples and that covers oh... everyone). Aisha is a woman, who has nipples that may or may not point upwards but godfuckingdamn, do we have to see that she has nipples in every shot. Well, not every shot, but the majority of shots.

I mean, come the fuck on. There was a fantastic panel of her when she stood up to confront Clay after she found out that he was the one who shot her father under Max's manipulation. Great, fierce looking up at her shot, looking ready to spill some blood and what else? Pointy nipples. I literally growled at the page. It was a fantastic moment, fantastic posing and action and expression and for me it was spoiled by that. It said to me, "oh, she's a fighter, powerful woman who takes no shit, but lookit! She's got boobies! oogle her boobies and forget about her emotions and how she's about to kick Clay's balls into his throat".

I'm asking too much, I know... for male artists to treat women like humans, because frankly, men don't give a damn and they know to whom they're catering. Fanboys who pop a boner at the mere hint of a nipple. While female fans are evidently present, the majority are male. So all this ranting is for naught.

But on a whole, she's handled pretty well. I like her a lot. I can't wait to see how they handle Zoe with it. I hope they bulk the girl up, because she is skinny and woul dbe unbelievable in hand to hand combat. Running and shooting, find, but trying to break some guy's neck or bring him down, she'll need some muscle. But you know hollywood... the skinnier the better.


And what post would be complete without a passing mention of La Quinto. Um... I've been revisiting Mylar videos and they are so much fun. Makes me want to buy some cloves again. I have a few left, but they're stale and nasty, bleh. But those jokers are 8 dollars a pack. That's a lot for recreational smoking.

Oh great, my coworker just sat down and already I'm annoyed. *breathe, breathe* Yellow.... *snickers*



Mood: : Wanting to tear shit up

Woo hoo. I torrented every volume of The Losers.


Mood: : *gigglesnort*

Friday Fabulousness

Cool. I used my job's neat color printer and printed out the first volume of "The Losers". It's available online as a pdf. It's ok, I think I have to read it over again. I just merely skimmed it the first time online. So I'll take time to read it thoroughly this weekend. I've got white cheddar popcorn and a hankering to watch Sylar get stabbed in the back of the head over and over. God, I just love that sudden look of surprise and pain that crosses his face when it happens. Hmmm... methinks that's probably a sick problem but, yay!
