All I wanted was a plain, unfinished sofa table with round, straight legs. I want to make a table that matches my “stone” topped one, so I didn’t want to pay a whole bunch for it. Googling showed one that looked right on target.com, but the thumbnail was small, and I already know how abysmally […]

Moar half price E.L.F. stuff! Studio line this time, which is most of what I use anyway.They shipped my last order short some items, though, and I’d better get them or I’ll cancel this one. Not that I need any of it, but for the price, a great way to keep from getting bored while […]

Well, as soon as I have the time amongst the rest of my projects! I promised I would keep the ruffled curtains, but my fingers were crossed and I meant I would keep them only until I was sure the old lady wasn’t going to come over and visit. I’m fairly certain that isn’t going […]

You know you’re a pathetic bug nerd when you’re watching a show about the first use of forensic entomology, and you stop paying attention to the narrator because you’re too distracted by the fact that while the narrator is saying, “….human skulls covered with maggots…” the re-enactment is showing skulls covered with fake blood and […]

It might get another layer of clearcoat, but it’s not dry yet, so I’m not sure. I got semi-gloss latex because I’m sick and not up to dealing with oil paint fumes, and it’s not as if this table is going to get manhandled anyway. I took a sample and had Buchheit match the colour […]

It started as a vintage 70s oversized end table that was supposed to have a “shelf” on top (for a lamp or something), but the shelf was missing. Stained dark walnut, wood legs and laminate pressboard top. Not much, but sturdy, and I think it was five bucks at a yard sale. When we moved […]

Why does every old person who writes a product review for anything feel the need to include the words,  “I am a senior citizen, and…”? I don’t put, “I am a middle-aged misanthrope, and…” in my reviews. You’re old. Nobody cares. Look–it’s my DILLIGAF face! Shut the fuck up.

The foundation was a “meh”, and I didn’t care much for the eyeliner pen, but I love the HD concealer and love-love-love the mascara primer. I have eyelashes! I meant to get more last weekend, but forgot about it in the cart, and when I went to check out today…50% off everything! Plus, they still […]

People who should be stapled to a wall so I can repeatedly kick them in the crotch: 1. Whatever ASSMUNCH is responsible for Winders fucking homegroups 2. Whatever dumbfuck decided that a default name for a workgroup was a good idea. 3. The stupid bastard who redesigned Slate’s web site. Not only is it even […]

Sick to death of trying to find the brush I needed when I’m in a hurry in the morning, I found a solution! Cups with glass beads kind of worked, but not well enough, and even a makeup brush holder wouldn’t do enough to organize (plus, they’re fucking expensive), so I made my own, custom […]
