MORE Bzz!

Hey blog followers! (Emily)

I tried Dunkin Donuts iced coffee as part of a Bzz Campaign, and I just wanted to publish what I thought of my experience.
First of all, the first time I tried to use my coupon was awful in every way. The people at that particular Dunkin Donuts location were very suspicious of my coupon for some reason, and really rushed me out without making my drink the way I had requested it. I didn't feel like I could ask for special flavorings or additions other than plain black coffee because they were just not very welcoming. Since they didn't put sugar in the coffee, I sipped it once and thought it was gross. I was already in the car so too late to add any more. I still gave out some coupons and the people I gave them to seemed really excited about their discounted iced coffee, but I think they've tried it before.
I think it's a good thing it's been warm lately because I'm not sure how excited they would have been for iced coffee if we had two feet of snow outside the way March sometimes is in these parts.
The second time I went to use my coupon, I went to a different location. This time it was a much better experience, but there still wasn't enough sugar, but that was my fault because I'm not savvy enough to know how much I would actually want. The coffee was pretty decent once I added enough sugar, and I drank almost all of my medium drink, which is pretty good since I don't even really like coffee at all.
Anyway, if you like iced drinks or coffee drinks, try this stuff! I don't feel bad recommending it, it was pretty good. :)

I'm Fly Like A Bee! - Makeup Pusher

Hey y'all, I gotta tell you about this AWESOME FREE STUFF I got a little while ago.
It's from Maybelline and BzzAgent (you know, you get free stuff on the condition that you talk about it, so I'd better talk about it more!) and it is Great Lash Lots of Lashes mascara and a variety of Baby Lips lip balms.  Maybelline on Facebook

First the mascara:

As a consistent user of L'oreal Double Extend "beauty tubes" mascara, I found the Maybelline mascara problematic. First of all, the handle for the mascara was so different from what I'm used to and made it really awkward to put on the mascara. I'm used to something bigger and rounder that is easier for me to hold, so the thin, small handle on the Maybelline mascara was frustrating. The brush, which is designed to allow you to get smaller lashes, kind of confused me, but didn't cause a lot of problems. The mascara looked good when it was on, and wasn't clumpy or anything. It made my eyelashes look similarly as long as my "extending" mascara normally does, so that is a good sign for me. They were pretty and nice and dark, so that was all good. Taking the mascara off was a pain for me, since it seemed to require makeup remover, which I don't use since my normal mascara comes off with warm water. In general, I think my biggest problem with this mascara was that it was too different from what I normally use, but I think if you're used to a one-step, thin handled mascara, this could be a great product. The actual application and removal were the biggest issues for me - the mascara itself looked nice when it was on.

Now the "Baby Lips":
I got five of these lip balms free from BzzAgent, and I tried them out for over a month before making up my mind about them. Here's what my final judgement is: These lip balms are nice, they feel good on your lips, they hydrate while you wear them, and the colors are surprisingly visible. They also don't seem to do what the package says, which is make your lips actually softer over the course of your use. Like I said, I used these for a while before posting this so that I could make a fair judgement, and I definitely don't think they soften or hydrate lips any better than any other lip balm. I normally use Burt's Bees honey lip balm and I feel like that does a better job keeping my lips hydrated over time. That being said, these lip balms smell nice and they leave a nice color, and they don't feel too sticky or oily. I also like that they are in a nice and easy twist up tube rather than a squeeze tube or a pot, it makes application easy. The peach lip balm smelled nice and had a nice peachy sparkle that was subtle but not too subtle. Definitely prettier than naked lips, and very easy to put on in a pinch for time. Overall, I'd say if you're not looking for something that is going to give you long term hydration, and you just want an easy, nice-feeling, pretty lip balm, then this is a great choice.

 Now that I'm done my shameless plugging, you all should think about this next time you need new lip balm/mascara. both products are pretty reasonably priced so they're worth considering for sure. I might grab a new peach one when I'm done with this one, which I keep in my purse at all times.

Hey sorry I am late

I haven't blogged in forever. I've decided that I'm no longer going to tell you all what the next post is gonna be about cause it limits me. I'm in the shower and I'm like "oh I wanna write about that!" and then I'm like "oh no I said I would write about this other thing..." and then I just don't write about anything. So this post is just to say forget about everything I might have said before cause it's bullshit. Except the thing about me being a doctor in everything. That's unequivocally true. This blog is peer reviewed and shit. But yeah I'm at dinner blogging from my phone cause I can. Cause I have a sick iPhone.

Piggy Adventure - UPDATE

everybody get excited, I'm gonna post something about my new app/game - Piggy Adventure. shameless advertising here.

UPDATE OCT 9 2011

I'm loving Piggy Adventure on my (i)phone. it has probably the best icon out of any other icons I've seen, and I like it purely on the basis that it has the word "piggy" in the title. Basically the object of the game is to use a cow, a pig, and a chicken, to collect "color drops" and get to the exit for the level. The game is exactly the kind of mindless hand-eye entertainment I wanted for my boredomtimes. I'd rate it 4.5 stars but I don't think itunes lets you give half stars. I'd go with 4 in that case. it's very fun and it works well, but I wish there were more levels. I'm already at the "end", which does get quite a bit harder than the beginning, but I'm basically finished now. I have to go back and do all the achievement things from the stupid Game Center I guess. now some screenshots.

Check out the adorable icon! I've called it "psychedelic pig."

This is the first level in the tutorial. It doesn't feature cow or chicken because it's stupidly easy. you jump over the rock to get the high one. duh.

This is what the level select thing looks like. As you can see, I've only collected 28/36 color drops on Gizza Island. The color drops are meant to bring the color (which was stolen by a monster thing) back to the island.

This is the last level that's available now. I've done all the way up to level 10 on Gizza Island, but I can't do 11 or 12. This is 12. Obviously much more involved than tutorial level 1.




Necessary disclaimer cause of image use : Obviously, to the owners of Piggy Adventure who probably have someone whose job it is to troll the internet looking for mentions of your game - if you happen upon this - I don't make any claim to be in any way affiliated with Piggy Adventure, whoever owns it owns it - and  it's not me. But by all means you guys, buy this little game. it's fun. I like it. I love the icon. it's a crazy pig with a rainbow. <3

that's the end of my shameless plug for Piggy Adventure. Look forward to a post on homesickness next time. I feel like saying something about it, but I'm tired and only have time for one post. and I figured, I've been promising Piggy Adventure post for days. so I'll post more tomorrow hopefully.

Goodnight! or whatever.

I should just go to bed

How do I get people to read my blog?
NO
How do I get people who read my blog to comment on my shit?
YOU GUYS NEED TO COMMENT ON MY SHIT AND MAKE MY BLOG A SENSATION SO THAT I CAN GET FREE SHIT, OKAY. This is like, a pyramid scheme, but it could really work. because for some reason bloggers get free shit these days. I don't fucking know. just fucking comment on my shit, okay? it's late, so I can't post anything fucking thought provoking tonight. but I'll do it tomorrow. maybe I'll do it from school, when I should be last-minute reading shit that I had all day to read today. wooooo.
FUCK YOU.

Is this working? like uh, when they say girls only like guys who are dicks? you like me being a dick? am I effectively berating you into commenting on my shit?
THERE ARE A FUCKLOAD OF QUESTIONS IN THIS POST, YO. answer them bitches.

Fuckin' Ke$ha again. and also Hipsters.

So it seems like Ke$ha pretty much dominates my life.. I've been thinking about this in the car on my way home when the music on the radio had a pretty consistent string of great songs on.. Being a hipster is so not fun. My IPOD PHONE has stuff on it like  the big ones : The freaking Arcade Fire and freaking Death Cab For Cutie, Florence and the Machine and, the medium ones : Interpol and Jens Lekman and Sigur Ros, The Shins,  and, the smaller ones : Mew, The Most Serene Republic, Tokyo Police Club... but like, when I want to listen to music, for real, you know what I want to listen to? This list of songs I listened to in the car today. In order:

• Stereo Hearts - Gym Class Heroes ft. Adam Levine
• I Wanna Go - Britney Spears
• Take It Off - Ke$ha (her again)

Then I turned fucking Adele off on the radio, because I didn't feel like listening to Rolling in the Fucking Deep for the zillionth time, and put on Spotify. The rest is of my own volition now.

• Like A G6 - Far East Movement
• Whatcha Say - Jason Derulo
• Double Vision - 3OH!3
• Moves Like Jagger - Maroon 5
• Daylight - Matt & Kim (maybe a little hipsterish, but once it's been used in a Bacardi commercial it's fair game)

If I felt some need to maintain some kind of insane hipsterness, even alone in the car, the vast majority of those songs would be OUT. SO OUT. but they're freaking FUN SONGS. like, I wanna get into a skimpy skirt and rub asses with some random chicks in da club when I listen to those songs. Hipsters only rub asses in an ironic way, which is lame and insincere. Hipsters are either lying to themselves, or they actually have no souls. Either way, I hate them. Now, obviously I listen to my fair share of hipstery music, but I'm not going to be all devout about it. HAVE YOU HEARD THAT BRITNEY SONG?! it's AWESOME. She's kickin' ass with that song. and hipsters, you lose out on that. your lives are, in a word, incomplete. in another two words - a lie.  I had an awesome silent disco in my car, wiggling around and singing with my headphones in. It was awesome. I can guarantee you it would not have been as fun if I were listening to goddamn crazy-ass Sigur Ros. GUARANTEE IT.
Where does Ke$ha come in? she's like the anti-hipster. She's so fucked up, she doesn't even know what the hell she's doing. but she's probably having a hella good time. is she probably going to die some pre-mature/tragic death because of all her shit? yes, probably. But I bet she has a lot more genuine fun than some buttoned up hipster whose wild nights include like, Mad Men orgies or something. I don't fucking know. This is the moment when I'm glad I go to a college for people who have no fucking clue what they're doing with their lives. and wear sweatpants all the time.

I made a freaking blog

Whattup internet? I made a freaking blog today. I don't know what I'm going to do with it. Is anyone going to read it? No. Definitely not. So this could seriously be like a freaking diary and it would probably be more private than an actual stupid paper book. So I'm just going to write what I think from here. I'm sitting in the kitchen with a little cocktail I made with:

• Metromint Spearmint water
• Bacardi white rum
• Like 5 teaspoons of sugar
• A bunch of raspberries
• Ice

It's pretty good but I'm too much of a hypochondriac to even drink alcohol so it's kind of just sitting here. I keep putting more raspberries in it and eating those. Totally useful.
I wanna get myself out there with this blog. One day I'm going to want a job and you know they google you. Is a blog the best way to get a job? I dunno. Maybe. I don't really do anything that inappropriate, so as long as my future boss realizes that I probably won't use curse words like they're going out of style, I'll be okay.

So what are we up to that's interesting!? Well my babydog, Charles Xavier aka Professor X aka Charlie, is insane. I have just now decided to start shooting him with a little water gun. 

 I don't think he gets it. UPDATE: I think he's scared of it and I feel really bad. you should see his little face... :(

What else can I talk about here? Well  I was thinking of starting up this blog to either talk about ice cream I'm making (come on, you and I both know I'll never be a famous enough food blogger to get on Iron Chef America so it's not even worth it), fashion choices of people I see around, or my own fashion choices (but I seriously don't go shopping enough for that to be even slightly feasible). So, for now, this can just be a fun place for me to release all my ramblings for anyone who is bored enough with their own useless life to want to read about mine. Yes! Break up the monotony in your life by reading  about someone else's monotonous life! It's a different kind of monotone, thus making it interesting.

What happened to me today?
1. I left the house late to drive to school - still made it by the same time I do every day I leave on time. What's that about?
2. Got tailgated by a cop going 60mph in a 45mph work zone. He got off at the next exit. What's that about?
3. I've basically given up on paying attention in my statistics class. I shouldn't even go.
4. I really want some of my class friends to be outside class friends. How do you do that without seeming like a desperate freak? I don't think there is a way for me, since I am actually a desperate freak. I need friends!
5. Fucking bitch at some point decided to steal only the first page of an article in Newsweek from 1970 about fucking mini vs. midi skirts. Got mad, sister made a lovely pdf of the article from the periodicals section of her university library in Virginia and emailed it. DON'T YOU JUST LOVE LIVING IN THE FUTURE?! flying cars would probably be hazardous, but email is sick.
6. There are too many magazines! MINI SKIRTS!??!
7. I don't fucking know. what do the numbers on this list even denote?! I need to learn to edit myself man.
8. Saw Mike from high school at the grocery store. Pretty sure he was trying to do one of those "I saw you, and yes I know who you are, but I don't want to talk to you, I'm going to pretend I didn't see you and immediately walk in another direction that I "can't" see you, and just pretend you're not there please don't talk to me" kind of situations. WELL TOO BAD BUDDY. I HUNTED YOU DOWN. ain't nobody gonna pretend not to see me! and it wasn't too bad. quoted that bitch Ke$ha. I bet she spells it like that on her drivers license. she'd better hope she has some kind of tragic death, because she's really not going to be successful as like, a 40 year old. sure, it's cute now when shes 23 and rich and can fuck around all the time and be all like OMG GLITTER, but in 20 years, forget it. Everyone who is 23 then is going to be like "what the fuck is wrong with this bitch? HOW DID SHE GET INTO THIS CLUB, YO?!" so yeah, obviously some kind of Amy Winehouse situation is probably the only way other than slipping into mediocre obscurity. Like sad, sad Justin Bieber, whose fame is, in my opinion, totally unsustainable. People should only be famous when they're old. Like Morgan Freeman. dude is old as hell.
9. Made this little cocktail. I'm pretty tired now.
I don't know how to have a fucking blog. what the hell do people do with these things anyway? As if anyone gives a shit.
I really just want someone to buy me some shoes or something. Someone buy me some shoes.
