Coming soon

Eventually, when I get round to typing it up or writing it:

  • Why I don’t generally read the newspapers, which will have links to why existence sucks a bit on anti-depressants at high doses. Yes, they don’t seem related.
  • That stupid reality TV show The Swan. Ugh. I’ll write about it when I’ve recovered from my existential nausea. Oh, hang on, that’s just my meds. Again.
  • How many shades of lipgloss can I have? And why do I want more? Is buying lipgloss better than being addicted to heroin? Sadly, at present, I know not.
  • Limited-edition beauty and cosmetic items. To buy back-ups or not to? With kind assistance from fellow beauty-product obsessives.
  • Snark from the past: McDonald’s and their bloody happy meals. Oh, and new one on their advertising in cutesy icons.
  • Coloured people…can be racist too. What happens when you’re not dark enough? Or people mistake you for what they think is the ’superior’ race and you are in fact to them sub-human? Do you know how hard it is to find decent foundation these days?
  • Women, children and women who don’t have children, women who can’t have them, women who won’t. Hopefully quoting an offensive letter I found in a magazine accompanying the weekend newspaper.
  • So it is remarkably fortunate that desires of death and self-injury are altogether gone, but mood disorder medication can sometimes be worse than all that. No, really. It’s like choosing whether to stand in a pit of shit, or lie in it.
  • Boutique multiculturalism, a funky term I picked up clearly from someone smarter than me, to explain a truly annoying trend amongst ‘citizens of the world’.
  • If I’m so annoyed by looking 10 years younger than I do, why am I suddenly so pissed off about the first visible line on my face, and the little ones under my eyes? So now that I apparently have lost my morbid desire for death to come ASAP, the ‘regular’ person anxieties about mortality have hit me? Soooo not fair! I also seem to have the same weirdness about putting on weight; I should but when I start to, I panic and reduce food intake accordingly. Hm.
  • The ‘class’ questionnaire according to some sociology academic. I have a few grivances with it, one could say.
