This one's for @georgiacorvid, who I'm pretty sure introduced me to Skins in the first place, and offered me the idea for this video when I couldn't think of anything. Hope you like it, Dee!
This could still be so much better, but I learn something new every time I attempt it, and I guess that's sort of the point, isn't it? And so far it's still fun and challenging, so I plan to keep on keepin on.
Music is Kara's Theme from the Brick soundtrack.

I keep trying out different green tea powders, trying to find the best tasting at the most reasonable cost. This one is a definite no, though it dissolved better than it's buddy. My favorite so far has been Rishi's Sweet Matcha, which came in a resealable little black pouch.
Going to buy Teavana's Matcha Green Tea sometime this week, see how that one fares.

Finally got around to starting that project I mentioned on Day 24! It smells pretty amazing, and is cooling in the fridge as I type. Will buy a bag of ice and churn it tomorrow afternoon. And I will, of course, repost the recipe if it turns out any good.
This day has been awesome in general, especially since while I was cooking the cream (in my new Ikea sauce pan, nnngh) the Lady came in with the mail and it was all for me! So I have a cool Panic! postcard to tape to my wall, a bunch of Amanda Palmer tidbits, and a letter from my school. School spelled my name wrong, but all the rest was exciting.

Tonight's dessert: Lavender Mint Ice Cream with Earl Grey & Lavender Cream Drop Scones. I don't think I really care for either recipe very much. Certainly not enough to share. If I attempt either again and it comes out better, I'll share then.
The reason I don't like the ice cream is because it's rather lumpy. My folks have convinced me that I tempered the eggs correctly, so I think it's just fat from the cream? Either way, I don't like the residue it leaves on the spoon. And the scones are just... weird. I've never made drop scones without butter before, and I had to add an extra cup of flour to make the batter thick enough. Like I said, weird.

The internet has been going in and out for the last few days, and last night I was fed up and miserable over it, so I just sat in front of the tv, moping and watching Castle. Happy Valentine's Day to me!
The internet is still out, actually, as are the phone lines. So I picked up my shit and booked it to the library, where there's free wifi. (Hahaha, "booked it!" Unintentional but hilarious.)

At the library, updating Tumblr... yeah. Let me show you my dedication to this project!
No, honestly, it's more my addiction to the internet. I was getting legitimately twitchy and irritable without it. Spent the entire day watching Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip, snapping at the dog, and eating leftover scones and ice cream. Those scones and ice cream turned out pretty great, looking back. Totally re-doable.
The library closes in an hour and ten minutes, I need to go make the most of that.

Spent most of the day completely absorbed in "Running with Scissors," probably would have finished if the internet hadn't finally come back in the afternoon. Kind of wish it had stayed off for another day.
I think I was making that same face in every scene involving poop. Oh so many poop scenes...

Whenever I pull out my 100 Shadow Palette, I feel like some kind of artiste.
Had a meeting with school today, so I put on makeup for the first time in... a while, I don't even know. Probably since my friend Jim moved to Orlando.

Bored bored bored! If this is how I mean to entertain myself, I better get my eyebrows threaded this weekend, or at least pluck them.
Think this may be #LOFNOTC inspired, feels very Amanda Palmer.
What would life be like without Amanda Palmer? Mine would be much sadder and less colorful, certainly.

I don't care much for wrist watches, so I've kept a pocket watch for years now. It died a couple of months ago and I hadn't gotten around to fixing the battery until today. I think it's going to be nice, having it back.
Now that I know which battery it calls for and how easy it is to change out, I doubt it'll ever take me so long to replace again.

Austen got an extreme makeover! He looks hilarious, and so much smaller. Scrawny like some kind of rat, it's amazing. All day I just kept looking at him and cracking up.

The Lady wanted to make a flowerless chocolate torte, and I was able to find the recipe she uses for it. Turned out amazing, better than usual. Made all the Gossip Girl drama much more bearable to watch.

I dunno! I'm tapped out on pictures, f'realz. I just went round my room taking pictures of random things. This dusty guy sits on my Mercedes Lackey shelf, along with adult Simba and young Nala.

I'm not as nerdy or intelligent as I first come off in person, but I am, without a doubt, extremely lame. This is not the only photo of The Wizard of Menlo Park I have taped up in my room, just sayin. This particular one is situated right next to my record player, of course, which is named Bing. (After Crosby. And it's a Crosley. Soooo, you know, Bing Crosley. :D? :D? :D?)
Just sayin...

On the day I buy my kindle, I also find out that the closest bookstore, Borders, is closing. This is sad for many reasons, the strongest being that I spent a large portion of my youth there. I bought my first Tamora Pierce book in that store, my first Harry Potter book, whet to more than one Midnight Party for more than one series.
Certainly doesn't help that I went digital on the same day. Feels like I cheated on an old lover and was promptly dumped.

I dunno, when in doubt go abstract? I remember taking photography in middle school, walking around the school while everyone else was in class, taking pictures of random things. This reminds me very much of that, except for how it's in color.
What would Mrs. Tunon think of me now, I wonder?

I have so many things to do before Tuesday, but I can't even bring myself to write them down, let alone actually do any of them. I'm excited and not as nervous as I could be, but I still can't shake off this lethargy.

I can't seem to stop buying makeup! It's addictive.
Maybelline gel eyeliner in Aubergine.

It seems I'm slightly obsessed with this window and this tree. One day, I'm going to miss it terribly.
School starts tomorrow, I'm feeling pretty tense about it. Did absolutely nothing to prep today, but last night I cleaned my bird's cage, so at least there's that done. Wish me luck, Universe.

First day back at school. Looked and smelled exactly the same. I guess I should prepare myself to come home smelling like Salon again, shouldn't I?
