If not forever, then certainly for the afternoon!
More snackimals here, via Pharyngula, which is an often excellent science blog but occasionally too arachnophilic for my tastes :P
P.S. I got out of school! No more school today! </southpark>

Feb. 13th, 2007 05:25 pmToday I forgot to put on makeup.
I didn't realize it until I was already in the car, and at that point it was too late to turn around.
I took a quick look in the mirror and I looked ok - awake and not too broken out or shiny, which are the main reasons I wear any "paint" at all these days (concealer/powder).
Not that I don't love makeup: MAC is my anti drug and I have a couple of bags containing a rainbow of lipsticks and eyeshadows that are fun to play with from time to time. But I work in front of a computer all day and my office is semi-casual - there seems very little reason to put on lipstick, blush etc. when only my monitor is going to see it and no one else will care :P
As such, I'm starting to wonder if my fascination with makeup is just another species of my crow-like attraction to anything with bright/multiple colors (crayons, pastels, paint, etc.)
Also I suspect is my growing realization that makeup (and other girly stuff) is really time consuming and not always convenient. Heels = look great but impractical for most walking; skirts = same, and I'd have to shave more often (twice a week is about the maximum without drying out my legs. If I had lighter hair I'm not sure I'd bother at all).
And anyone who knows me is aware that I don't/can't do hair :P
