Here they are!

Here they are! Galaxy Nails have been on my list of nail things to try for ages. Seriously. I don't know why I never did them before now. They were pretty easy, and they look really nice. I'm hoping I don't have to take them off for a while. Maybe they'll last at least until the weekend.

For those who are wondering, you just paint down a base color (usually black, but I went with a metallic navy blue) and then sponge down different colors in random places. Then use a small paint brush and / or dotting tool for the stars. Most of the Galaxy Nails I've ever seen were really dark. Black as a base, then a lot of deep purples, reds and blues. I like the lighter colors. I'm not a fan of anything super dark on my nails, I've discovered.

Shaun had to correct me. He says these don't look like a galaxy. They look a like a nebula. Ok, so they're Nebula Nails, then. My bad. 😃

I cleaned my roach tote last night.

I cleaned my roach tote last night.  I have honestly no clue how many roaches I have, but I'm guessing there's a lot, considering that all of the food you see pictured has disappeared in less than 24 hours.  That is just... wow.  I don't even have a good guesstimate, but I wish I did.

I know it's hard to tell because all of the food is covered up, but they had half of a sweet potato, 3/4 of an apple, 3 baby carrots, and a tray full of fish flake.  I feel like that's a lot of food.  I am pretty excited!  😃


I finally sat down and did some galaxy nails tonight.

I finally sat down and did some galaxy nails tonight.  They have been on my "to do" list forEVER.  I think they turned out rather pretty.  They are not as dark as most of the ones I've seen, but I think I prefer that.  I recently saw a pastel version that was really nice, but it was too light for my tastes.  So, mine are kind of in between.  Photo tomorrow!  🙂

This color is SOOO pretty.

This color is SOOO pretty.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pink with the blue-leaning sheen.  But holy cow, it STINKS.  It is scented, and it smells like VERY STRONG cheap floral perfume, and I've had a headache all day.  It's gotta go.

Not to mention that I can never keep my striping take stuck down on the edges for long.  (I don't know why.  I have tried everything.  It just doesn't last.)  And once it starts coming up, it's just SO COMPLETELY SATISFYING to pull that shit up.  My tape didn't make it past lunch today.  LOL

I just feel a little bit stupid right now.

I just feel a little bit stupid right now.  LOL  I bought this new nail polish from Walgreen's the other night and I just tried it out.  When I was using it I kept thinking, "This is super smelly.  Like fucking flowers or something."  And not in a good way.  Like, extremely overpowering floral perfume.  And it's dry, and it still smells.  So much a lot.  🙁

SO... I'm in my room, away from the nail polish, so I thought I'd Google it so I could tell you what it was.  And when I found the image, the display clearly said "Scented Nail Polish."  I'm telling you - if I'd noticed that I probably wouldn't have bought it.  At least not the flower smell.  MAYBE the vanilla, but that color wasn't as impressive.  What gets me is that it doesn't say that it's scented on the bottle.  I checked, twice.  I don't know if I can survive the night with this smell.  And I just spent two hours doing my nails.  🙁

Here it is, for anyone interested.  I got pink rose.  Blegh.

Edgar is growing FAST!

Edgar is growing FAST!  His feathers look a lot nicer.  He's attacking the tongs when I feed him.  "PUT THIS ALL THE WAY DOWN MY THROAT HURRY."  LOL  It won't be long until I can let him go.  Will try to get some good photos tomorrow.  🙂

Went out to get some food...

Went out to get some food, and came back to the dog room flooded again. Dang. 🙁
