clearly the consumer concern over the emormous size of pringles chips has reached fever pitch. i say this because they have finally released pringles mini. i say this like i don’t wish i had some right now. i so fall for it when they make a product smaller or a different color. it’s sad. i miss crystal pepsi. i am old enough to remember when they first started making hawaiian punch in colors other than red. it was so exciting! i’m thinking that knowing my weakness makes it okay, but i don’t know, maybe i am fooling myself. last summer when NARS came out with the orgasm blush/laguna bronzer duo i HAD to buy it, even though i already have orgasm and laguna in their seperate packagings. ah the convenience! you will note that i almost never take my blush or bronzer to go, so really this was pointless, but look how cute they are together, aw! but seriously, if you wear these things and you don’t have either or these colors buy this. orgasm is hands down my favorite blush. i know it’s so typical, but it really does look good on everyone. it makes you look glowy, freshly-fucked and gorgeous. and laguna is the only shimmery bronzer i will use. all the others are way too flashy, but this is suble and the color is perfect. just fyi.

the other day i went to the 99 cent store in lincoln heights with albert. we walked the two blocks there, almost got hit by an SUV and saw the most gorgeous pitbull ever. she was white with ice blue eyes and her owner had named her guera. and he was selling her puppies, one of which was named casper. hahahaha. anyway, it was maybe one of the best trips to the 99 cent store ever. i was very impressed with this particular location’s stock of “what the fuck?” items. first, there was the handy nutrigrain bar tote you see here. i didn’t even notice the ritz cracker holder behind it, ha! then, there was this awesome piggy bank albert bought for danielle that has a backside that looks exactly like a boob. at the checkout line there was a display selling chapstick brand chapstick. it was a display from christmas time and there was a woman dressed like santa giving someone the gift of chapstick. this would be a fine gift for someone like myself, who lives on that shit, but i don’t think most people would appreciate that very much.

i love shopping, even at cheap stores. i get the fever. most of my friends hate shopping with me because i read all the labels and group things together to compare them over and over again and it takes forever. i may be a hopeless consumer, but at least i comparison shop, right? not right. i need to quit. well, i have been forced into not buying as many things since i am so utterly poor, but i still buy stuff i shouldn’t and i do miss spending my money on books and cds and makeup. now it all goes to gas and food and booze.

sad.
