So I was trying to save money today at the store. I skipped the deoderant that claimed that it could give me softer under arms in less then 30 days. Then I started wondering just how soft my underarms were and how they aged, but no it's a recession, I'll be frugal.

Somehow I ended up in that dangerous no man's land between the men and women deodorants. I picked up something Arm and Hammer and left. Now that I'm home I'm pretty sure that I'm wearing mens deodorant. I have to say that it works a lot better than womens deodorant. Although men probably don't worry about their underarm softness. The very confusing part is that it's an invisible solid. Do men wear invisible solids? My deodorant is having a gender crisis.

As the season of gratitude nears you should all be thankful that you aren't coming over to my house for Thanksgiving dinner. This is unless you are in fact coming over to my house for Thanksgiving dinner in which case I'd highly recommend that you cancel and quickly. Trust me, if I wasn't me I would cancel on me.

I don't know exactly how I made squash look/smell and taste like sulfur but I did. I wasn't trying to, just some chemistry or science happened while I wasn't looking. While I was feeding it to the garbage disposal it took on such a pungent smell that I had to distract myself so I wouldn't' get sick. This was the line that my thoughts took:

"Just don't think about it pretend you are in Hawaii"

"If this is what Hawaii is like which I doubt then I hate Hawaii"

"Ok then think about something that is almost as bad but at least you can handle it"

"Just pretend it's a dirty diaper. Dirty diaper. Dirty diapers are gross but its better than this."

My apartment was designed around energy efficiency. I'll admit that this wasn't why I rented it. I rented it because it was super pretty. I don't hate mother earth or anything, I was all for it at first. I have come to realize that "energy efficient" means "absolutely no sunlight". It was ok though because then I could blame the houseplant dying on the lack of sunlight. It was an alibi.

My biggest grip have been the light bulbs. At first I liked the idea that I wasn't supposed to buy new light bulbs or change the light bulbs. I can handle that. The problem is that these light bulbs don't give off actual light. They are like hybrids of compact florescent so is like one compact bulb inside another light bulb. If I actually want to see in a room I have to turn the lights on fifteen minutes in advance. It starts out as acting as a night light and then eventually gets brighter. It takes about 45 minutes to reach maximum brightness where I can distinguish the color of items. This is not energy efficient because the lights are on longer. Once I recharge the batteries in my camera I will take a series of time lapse shots to show just how ridiculous it is.
