Christmas presents!
For my friend who is obsessed with sarcasm and being sassy:

For my sister, the high-functioning alcoholic with a communications degree:


I also bought a charcoal hoodie from H&M for myself ($10 marked down from $20!) and some Christmas cracker things.

I wanted a little bluetooth gadget for listening to audiobooks and doing Siri stuff, and the Motorola Hint is out of my price range at the moment. This one is only $15 (with prime shipping) and has the best reviews of all the products like it. Link here, for the interested.

I've seen the opposite, my Florsheims have been much better quality. Also, CH makes some ugly-rear end shoes that leave a bad taste for the ones that look a bit better. Shopping at eBay is still the best for quality in that price range.



Salt Lick, I just got that bike pump a few months ago, love it.

Huh, I'll keep that in mind when my employee discount finally kicks in. I still love those suede Cole Haan oxfords with the sneaker sole though, nobody can stop me there :getin:

Droid Turbo 32MB in "ballistic nylon" ... stupid name, but a cool looking, fast phone.


As much as I love my iPhone, I have to say, Motorola is making probably the most aesthetically pleasing phones at the moment. If I had to ditch it, I'd definitely go for a leather Moto X, that's a nice looking phone.

I tried safety razors on an off for years and never found anything as efficient and blood/burnless the the good old Mach3. I accidentally discovered that Nivea Sensitive Skin Aftershave lotion actually works better then any shaving cream/soap I had tried as well. I really wanted to like the idea of old timey shaving but it was just inferior all around.

If you have an irritation problem, try out Bump Patrol, it's the best aftershave I've ever used, especially if you have trouble with ingrown hair.

But "Do you like death? Then die!" is a line that's in at least one EDF game and you hear it a lot.

Wait...I'm thinking of "Do you like hurting people." I'm dumb, carry on.

I pretty much blind-purchased thanks to the RunButton podcast/LPs. It looks basically like a game of the big battle scene at the end of the Avengers, which is extremely my poo poo.

Suddenly realized I'm out of shaving soap. Just a tiny sliver of a puck left.

So I got some Proraso Green (which I've wanted to try since forever), and a tub of Arko shave soap.

Added bonus:



Lookatit! It's got a face in the soap :haw:

I almost don't want to use it. The art deco style is really tickling my fancy here.

First thing this made me think of:

$636 on the final part of my tooth implant. Supposedly I have good insurance according to the dental office ladies, but I guess a tooth implant is considered an unreasonable, ostentatious expression of vanity so I have around a 50 percent co-pay for it. Which means that at some point when the insurance people were deciding co-pay percentages they got to 'fake tooth to replace real tooth' and they all just threw their hands up and rolled their eyes. 'These assholes want a fake tooth, to replace a real one? What the gently caress. Okay, we can't be in for more than 50 percent of little lord fauntleroys fancy boy bullshit.'

Yeah, I had a tooth out recently, and the general sentiment is "deal with it until you have a real job and decent insurance, rear end in a top hat." It's a back tooth, so it's not really needed for looks, I still feel weird without it. I'm legit thinking about starting a kickstarter to buy me a new (gold) tooth, anything extra can go to Smile Train or something.

They're the same shoes worn by Black Widow in like a five minute sequence where she and Cap are undercover at a mall in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The reviews all say they're super comfy too and, hey, I need some sneakers that don't suck.

Not to poo poo on your parade or anything, but I'm pretty sure she was wearing Nikes. These are nice though! I've definitely priced Cap's Supras from the same sequence...
