And...Now it looks like Barbie's Dream House

I'm okay with that though.

A good way to organize makeup/brushes

I just wanted to show this on here. I bought this thing from Amazon a while ago, it's still on there.

I've depotted most of my eyeshadows and pressed my pigments and put them in palettes to make it easier on myself, so any of the extra ones that aren't in palettes fit perfectly in here. Along with eyeliners, mascaras, lip products, extra brushes.

I didn't want three movies, I wanted one movie

See this?

I had to buy a set of three movies in order to get the ONE I wanted (Dragonwyck). I've never heard of the other two and I don't have an interest in seeing them. I'm so frustrated by the fact that Dragonwyck isn't sold individually that I uploaded it on Viddler tonight because it's an amazing movie and people should be able to see it without having to buy movies they don't really want to see.

I just finished reading Dragonwyck by Anya Seton the other day. It was really, really good. Better than the movie. The story was changed quite a bit for the film, especially the ending. That doesn't take away from how beautiful the movie itself is though. I love black and white films and the use of shadow in them. And there's also the fact that Vincent Price is in it, which is the reason I watched Dragonwyck to begin with. I grew up watching his movies...I can't even remember a time when I didn't know who he was. He was so charismatic and handsome, and truly a fine actor. Dragonwyck is the perfect example of how talented he was.

My two loves. Together. Finally.

I don't know why I waited so long to buy this Hammett book. I love all his novels, and it's much easier to have a collection of them rather than individual books. Now I just need his Crime Stories collection (even though I already own a bunch of them because I have The Big Knockover).

These Library of America Books are amazing.

Edit: Bought these two as well. Told you these books are amazing. And if anyone's wondering why I don't have the LOA Chandler books...I don't really like his work, to be honest.

Slightly confused

I finished reading Dragonwyck by Anya Seton last night...I'd already seen the movie beforehand, I'm a fan of Vincent Price.

There's a character named Nicholas. It's not a secret that he turns his emotions and charm on and off whenever it benefits him to do so. His intentions are almost never pure, he seems incapable of caring about anyone, including his wife (Johanna OR Miranda, take your pick) and daughter. The only time he ever seems to care about Miranda's feelings is when he finds out she's going to have his son. Even then, he only makes sure she's happy because he wants an heir.

There are times when he'd be sweet and caring to Miranda, and when she'd reciprocate, he would laugh at her and instantly become cold. He did it only to humiliate her. He played with her emotions for his own amusement. She was a possession to him, there was never a moment from the time they got married when it seemed like he loved her.

This is consistent in his personality. He does not truly care about anyone. He is charismatic when he needs to be, and the second it no longer benefits him, he goes back to being cold and horrible.

The confusion comes from one part of the book, before Nicholas married Miranda. They went out for the day with Nicholas' daughter, and they were returning to Dragonwyck in a carriage. The farmers were revolting because they no longer wanted to pay rent to Nicholas (this takes place in 1844). They surrounded the carriage, took out a gun and fired a shot at it. At this point, Miranda throws herself at Nicholas, he embraces her and presses his lips against her hair. It almost seems as if he does have feelings for her, but as the rest of the book shows, he's incapable of feeling anything for anyone, and he certainly wouldn't have cared if she had been harmed.

It's a minor detail, but it still bothers me.

I couldn't wait until Thursday to show a picture of this

There's a huge tokidoki, E.L.F., MUFE review post that I'm aiming to get up here on Thursday. I want to wait until then so that I can also review the moisturizer I bought, and that will give me a week to use it and determine how well it works. So far, it's doing pretty well.

So, I bought a few things from tokidoki and I'm just...Oh my God. This eyeshadow. Look at this.

That is amazing. This eyeshadow is FILLED with glitter.

I couldn't get swatches of everything because my camera does not like to focus when it's really close up. But I did take pictures of everything, so those will be up.

Dead Space 2: Severed

I was really excited for this DLC because I loved Dead Space 2 so much...Way too much, actually. As you would see if you read all the posts in this folder. I waited for what felt like forever for it to be released, and then on the release date, I checked the PS Store obsessively to see if it had updated yet.

So I'm really sad to say that I'm less than impressed with it.

Severed involves characters from Dead Space: Extraction, and that may be part of the problem. I don't give a damn about them. At all. Live or die? What do I care? It also seems to take place after the events of Dead Space 2, since you find a tripod that Isaac has already killed and a battery inserted in the mine area.

I didn't pay much attention to the story while playing, but...Why was Lexine on the Sprawl? And the person who I'm assuming was her husband? I didn't finish playing Extraction because I got incredibly annoyed during a boss fight and never turned it back on. Were these people ALWAYS there? Because I see no reason as to why they'd have gone there after Isaac left...

And actually. (Spoilers.) Didn't Isaac kind of...Blow the Sprawl up when he destroyed the Marker? What the hell is the timeline between Dead Space 2 and Severed in that case? It's definitely after Isaac went through the mine area, but beyond that, I don't know. I'm very confused by the whole thing.

Some people will probably enjoy it, I just thought it was very dull. Not nearly as interesting as the main game was. Plus they added enemies (apparently from the first game, I don't even remember them) that are super fast and twitchy, which isn't an added challenge so much as it's an added annoyance.

You'll get about an hour out of Severed if it's a first playthrough. It has no replayability. No Power Node Doors. No suit upgrades. You start off with a Seeker Rifle and Pulse Rifle...I wasn't thrilled about that, I ended up respecing the Pulse Rifle and bought a Contact Beam. Then I said screw it and decided to use my Hand Cannon for the whole thing, because as I see it, I earned that damn thing and I'm allowed to use it if I want to.

The trophies are really easy to get. The only one that may be a little difficult is the one that requires you to knock a necromorph into a spinning blade. I had to restart several times to get that to work correctly.

I'm glad it's over. Now I can go back to multiplayer.
