When was the last time I did a current post? Seems like forever.

Current guilty pleasure: Melting snow. I honestly hate snow, I don't even find it pretty at this point, just annoying. Luckily and well, unluckily, I was sick when it snowed last week so I couldn't really go anywhere anyway but I hate being stuck in the house and not able to play outside because massive heaps of white water ice fall from the clouds. I can't wait to get out and ride my bike.

Current nail color: Hot mess by Rachel Designs and of course I mean my nails are a hot mess because I'm lazy and I also don't really care about doing my nails. I did have this purple sparkly combination going on my fingers that I had some "unicorn" name for but it has chipped off.


Current playlist:  (" Heather Mooney! Oh my god, you're exactly the same!") The Smithereens - Blood and Roses // Sisters of Mercy - Dominion/Mother Russia // Sisters of Mercy - Flood I // Richard Hawley - Baby You're my Light // Band of Horses - Our Swords // Devandra Banhart - Lover // The Breeders - Cannonball // The Handsome Family - Far from Any Road

Current drink: Crystal Light Strawberry Orange Banana. I was really sick of lemon water. My asthma has been bad so I've been avoiding alcohol but an orange muscat mouth meeting is in order because It's Friday, bitches! :Throws confetti: Gets irritated by Mess: Vacuums it up immediately!

Current food: Trader Joe's crumpets with a little butter and honey. Marry me, crumpet goddesses.




Current Favorite TV Show: True Detective! I'm obsessed, totally and utterly obsessed. Even Halo watches it, seriously, he was sitting on the couch watching the entire episode. Apparently Halo is a crime drama fan, he likes to watch the ID network as well. My kitty and I have so much in common. Besides my cats TV viewing choices, can we talk about how awesome Matthew McConaughey is on True Detective? He is honestly blowing me away every single week.




Current wish list: Bike Rides! Ashley Stewart High Waist Pencil Skirt in Pink / Fashion to Figure Elena Rose Top / Crosley Turnable in Red / Royal Velvet Damask Duvet in Red / Miz Mooz Heloise Shoes / Porcelain Cat Lamp / Doc Marten Spike Boots / Ashley Stewart Faux Leather Wool Trench / Ashley Stewart Green Pencil Skirt / Coffee Table with Storage / OPI - Red Hot Rio / Cadbury Buttons / Casual Plus Eyelash Top / We Love Colors Tights in Red & Black / Torrid Cat Ragalan Tee / Torrid One Piece Red

Current needs: Bike rides. Yes, I'm 10 years old, I desperately need my bike riding time.

Current triumphs: Uh...... can I get back to you on that?


Current bane of my existence: You said it Orange Kitty.


Current indulgence: Crumpets. Lemon Oreos!

Current excitement: True Detective on Sunday. As I've said, melting snow, if it snows again so help me. Beetlejuice 2 although I am a bit hesitant. The Sims 3, I'm back in obsession mode.

Current mood: Crumpety.

Just as I was getting up I was laying in bed putting together a blog post and thinking of a bar I'm going to make in Moonlight Falls for the two Sims I made who are pursuing Fine Arts degrees at Sims University and now I forgot most of what I was going to say..... However, I have been really neglecting my blog and my reading of all your fabulous blogs because my Sims addiction is in full swing - as in might need to be sent to a Sims Anonymous program. Did everyone have a good weekend? Mine wasn't bad, I consumed a lot of yummsey food. The end of the week did not start off so hot though, my fiance/boyfriend/man candy was in a minor car accident on his way to work Wednesday because of course the snow had to start just as he was leaving for work. He is more than fine (ooohyeahh :P Count on me to joke at a time like this...) and his truck has four tires again so all good news. Wednesday was quite a panicking filled day for me nonetheless, I knew it was only a minor accident but I spent the whole day pacing back and forth waiting for him to get home from work, I was so glad to hug him when he came home. 


On Thursday we hunted down The Sims 3: University and went to La Madeline's for dinner and pastries. Then on Friday we took my fiance's Dad out for a birthday dinner at a local restaurant that is in an historical Victorian house. I, naturally, discussed The Sims 3 over dinner but I mostly talked about humorous glitches (random Sims asses catching on fire, horses strolling into public restrooms, grandma in her underwear at a child's birthday party, etc) so no one gave me that look (ya know, the look of you might want to talk to someone about your obvious addiction). 





This is the historical house the restaurant is in, it is called the Moore House, it is gorgeous isn't it? Saturday I wasn't feeling very well but my fiance and I did clean the entire house so I was at least somewhat productive in the real world. 



Wasn't the latest Walking Dead episode awesome?! I was on pins and needles while the Governor and Rick were having their little chat and The Talking Dead afterwards was hysterical. I am really counting down the minutes till the Governor shows his bloody eye hole again - I'm being sarcastic... stop showing that thing Phil, I'm gonna ralph. I'm interested to see what happens next but my hunch is that ol' Eye Patch Phil doesn't have too much longer. Well, I hope everyone is doing well, I'm sure you can figure out what I'm rushing off to do so I will talk to you soon. I will leave you with some Sims 3: University shots.

Current nail color:  I really need to paint my toenails and I think I'm going to do Essie Licorice with some sort of sparkle on top, I own a lot of nail polish of the sparkle variety.


Current playlist:  Don Henley - Dirty Laundry /  MS MR - Bones / MS MR - Hurricane / MS MR - Dark Doo Wop / Young MC - Bust a Move / Rosetta Stone - The Witch / Gary Numan - Pressure / Stray Cat Strut - The Stray Cats


Current drink: Coke. I'm trying to cut back but it so addictive.



Current food: Reuben sandwich with french fries from a local deli.



Current Favorite TV Show: The Walking Dead. I never expected the Governor's name to be Phillip (although I would have known earlier but I just started reading the comics), I don't know what I thought it would be but I have this image in my mind of him before the zombie apocalypse being a manager at a local Safeway and being really unsatisfied with his life and the power he had over it. Phil definitely ain't playing that shit now. I'm also into Face Off, I'm not sure who I'm hoping to win yet but I do really like Eric F.

Current wish list: ASOS Lace Mini Dress / ASOS Midi Skirt in Matte Shine / ASOS 70's Skater Dress with Ruffle Sleeves / ASOS Sequin Pencil Skirt / Modcloth Cog and Effect Necklace / Belk Stripe Blazer / Six Dollar Shirts Beetlejuice / Forever 21 Plus Striped Tank / F21 Star Studded Clutch / Tripp Destructed Fishnet Skinny Jeans (Sold out) / Hello Kitty Black Dome Bag / ASOS Cross Body Heart Bag / Torrid Striped Skull Tee / Monster High Venus McFlytrap Swim Doll / Ruby Woo M.A.C Lipstick / The Walking Dead Books (I have 1-3 and want the rest) / George Foreman grill with removable plate / New Bedding / Black platform wedged heels


Current needs:  Halo cuddles. He was cuddling up to me before I left to get food but I guess I missed my opportunity *sniffles*. I spoke too soon, he just went cuddle nuts on my feet.


Current celebrity crush: Joaquin Phoenix. I've had a huge thing for him since probably the mid nineties but it has been intensified lately. Look at those eyes, unff!

Current indulgence: I'm craving chocolate and chocolate chip cookies really bad right now, I'm trying to resist the urge.

Current outfit: Jag Jeans (pull on in dark denim that I picked up from Burlington Coat Factory for like $30), Lilac colored tank top from Old Navy (my favorite tank tops, of course I can't find these exact ones now), Blue and Purple sheer top from Kmart. I linked to similar things.



Current excitement: March TV programming. I honestly watch very little TV but Game of Thrones and Mad Men are coming back soon and I'm ready for it. Also, The Sims 3: University Life as well. 

  
Current mood: Not entirely good or bad, just somewhere right down the middle.

Why are blog titles so incredibly hard to come up with? I should just skip trying to be clever, which rarely if ever works anyway, and just use the names of my nail polishes or something. I am eating Sugar Smack cereal so basically I just looked around and went for something I saw and made that the title, it's a good thing I don't have magical powers to change myself into something I see because then someone would gobble up my cereal goodness. On the subject of Sugar Smacks, why does the box try to convince you they are high in vitamin d, they are high in delicious and that is good enough for me. Now I have the "C is for Cookie" song stuck in my head...


Anyway, I don't have much to report because I've been playing The Sims practically non-stop. A few weeks ago my fiance bought me Monte Vista so I've been playing the shit out of the game. I've built a good 3-4 lounges/dance clubs/bars/what have you and about 5 different families, it's insane, if only I was paid to play the Sims. Perhaps I should stop sharing pictures of my screenshots because I don't know if anyone is interested in seeing them but I can't help myself and look at these crazy kids, getting engaged in France and what not. I love the purple and aqua dream home I built her too.

Yesterday my fiance and I went for Mexican food, did a little shopping (my fiance bought a leather jacket and I got some nail polishes and more MH dolls... naturally), saw 'Skyfall', and went grocery shopping. Then we came home and I caught up on 'Girls', 'Californication', and then 'The Walking Dead'. I also wore my favorite cherry print top I got a bit ago from Forever 21 and I cycled between thinking I looked hot and like a blob. My attempt to take pictures using my phone turned out like this:



So ya know, I tried. As you can tell, I love these jeans. My fiance said this is an odd photo but I was trying to pull down my tank top to cover my thighs, so sorry for the odd photo but you're probably use to that from me by now.



I've never had an Essie polish before but I absolutely love wearing black nail polish topped with sparkles. I, of course, had to find two Monster High dolls I wanted - this was after I spotted some unopened boxes of Monster High and had a Walmart employee help me open the boxes - I was looking for a Catrine DeMew but I was really pleasantly surprised to see that each box contained a Skelita and Jinafire (even though I own them already) but it was fun opening the boxes to see what dolls were hiding inside.

Well I've got plans to get to (*cough* Simming *cough*) so we'll talk soon.

Hey everyone. This was my fiance's last Sunday through Tuesday weekend, he switches to Thursday through Saturday (unless his schedule changes ...again) and we spent it pretty much how we usually spend our weekends - which usually includes me convincing him to give into my food cravings (stir fry at Genghis Grill, hamburgers, cookies, and too many hot dogs - "Many hot dogs are within you") and dragging him from store to store to look at Monster High sections and to hold my purse while I try on clothes and shoes. We also looked at comic books and role playing games so he had some fun too. I had a really limited shopping budget and I'm a super indecisive shopper already and ya know how it usually goes, you have a limited budget so you see 1342930482039 things you want and can only get one or can't afford 1342930482037 of the things you see. Why do they insist on making and stocking sparkly things when I don't have the budget to make them mine? I saw some sparkly bow flip flops, sparkly bow ballet flats, and a sparkly embellished cardigan all during my shopping adventure and I must say. how. dare. thee! That is three of my favorite things sparklified! Everyone knows I can't control myself around sparkly stuff. Everyone! Even the dead (...idk). The ballet flats didn't come in my size but I tried to squeeze my foot into a sz 9 anyway, even though I'm somewhere between a sz 10-11. I'm still thinking about the things I put back: which also include a hot pink cross body purse, a plaid fitted skirt originally from Talbots, a leather jacket on clearance, and a blue and purple sheer top. I ultimately ended up with a Monster High doll I've been coveting. I saw this really gorgeous white silk button up top with floral details at Burlington Coat Factory that I keep seeing twirl about on a hanger inside my head. Help me, I am addicted to wanting everything. I really try not to go overboard with my "wants" when it comes to shoes/clothes/purses/toys but I almost always do but hey if they'd stop making so much cute stuff then I wouldn't have to want it all. I know I've mentioned this problem of mine before but it doesn't seem to ever calm down. Does anyone else have this problem? 


Speaking of clothes I have to share pictures of my two new favorite things in my wardrobe including these destroyed denim jeans I picked up from Target for less than $10 and this lace skirt from Deb that I think is absolutely stunning and was on sale for like $15. Have I mentioned how much I adore my black We Love Colors tights, they are the most comfy tights I have ever worn in my life! Gimme lifetime supply! I like how I couldn't be bothered to stand up and take pictures of my clothes, that is very typical of my slacker behavior.
  

Anyway, besides all my EXCESSIVE shopping lust, my Fiance and I watched 'Looper' and saw a trailer for 'Dark Skies'. I really enjoyed 'Looper', I thought it was a really original concept and I love anything that deals with "time travel." 'Dark Skies' looks creepy and full of aliens so I'm excited to catch that one, I love a good scary Alien movie.


I was really bummed to discover that I lost two followers but I haven't been keeping up with my blogging so I suppose I understand :( I do have to respond with "STELLLLLLLLLLLLLA" because I enjoy pretending to shout that in the streets and, and... you followers should come back... 

I'm creeping up on my 100th post and I'm thinking of doing something special to celebrate but I'm not quite sure what yet. I've also slashed the prices in my shop, if anyone is interested most of the things are still up for sale. I haven't had much luck with my shop but would anyone be interested in shoes? They would be mostly in sizes 10 and 11. Lets me know. 

Well, I've been superfluous enough for one day (superfluous, what a great effin' word ) so I better go. Talk soon loves and I haven't forgotten about my loot post I just keep getting distracted, but those of you who play The Sims 3 (cue the screenshots) know what I mean by distraction - aka 8 hours of playing that feels like 2 hours.

Instead of going into a long wordy post about what I've been up to, I think I could just narrow it down to a handful of current obsessions, this is not to say that I won't go into a lengthy post sooner or later because I mean come on, I can't change that much.


My boyfriend and I saw Prometheus last weekend and we both really enjoyed it, even though someone in the theater let their phone ring till it went to voicemail, TWICE. A few people told me that the movie in fact sucked BUT... I kicked them in the shins and ran away so in more mature words "NOT UH". I recently rediscovered - there is no way I did not notice this before hand - the fact that at one of the local theaters near here that they have frozen yogurt so I was eating yogurt and watching a movie on the big screen at the same time, it was mostly heaven, except for the fact that I don't think I got through the trailers before the yogurt was all gone.... We also saw 'Dark Shadows' and although I liked it, I kinda felt like it started to drop off mid-way through the movie but I loved Eva Green as a creepy, bad ass witch in full on bat shit obsession mode with Johnny Depp (this is not hard to imagine...).


If and when I find these, especially Operetta and Ghoulia, I'm about 99% there will be jumping up and down, fake crying, and lots of squealing. I've even gotten into the cartoon, so yeah, this addiction is getting more and more serious by the minute. I've been searching the country side for them and haven't seen them anywhere :(

Credit
Yes, I'm still on my 'Roseanne' kick, especially the Halloween episodes - I wish I had a family that was as into Halloween as their "family" was. Come on now, how cute is this picture? I adore John Goodman and the expression on his face here is priceless.


Many people have tried to spread the 'Shannon and the Clams' love but only very recently have I decided to start scribbling Mrs. Shannon and the Clams in my notebook over and over again.



Last but certainly not least I've been in full 'The Sims 3' mania for days, my life is now currently been overtaken by the Simlish speaking natives. I just got 'The Sims 3: Showtime' as a gift and all I can say is look out time, I'm going to waste the shit out of you (so yeah it is an understatement to say that it has gotten worse). If you play The Sims 3, add me on The Sims 3 website, illivonray. There I go with the wordy post anyway...
