I write about sports (mostly NorCal), TV, makeup and all things random. About the name: "framboise noire" translates to "black raspberry", and one of my favorite liqueurs is made from those.Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04926148263459552392noreply@blogger.comBlogger911100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784402892894537960.post-68855964585799660052010-02-22T23:38:00.000-08:002010-02-23T00:44:45.175-08:00

When I first saw Karla Sugar's swatches of Guerlain Rouge G Le Brilliant a few weeks ago, I immediately fell in love with B63 Bella. However, I was turned off by the fact that it shares a name with the main character in those "Twilight" novels. (To be fair, I was also turned off by the fact that it costs $46. :P The other color I liked? B21 Bianca, which also happens to be the name of my Wii.

Hello! It's been a while, so let's start out with a NOTD pic: This is OPI Dreaming of Red (Holiday 2009 ULTA Exclusive) topped with Essie Matte About You. Brush strokes annoy me, and I recently discovered the "get rid of brush strokes by mattifying" trick, so I thought I'd give it a go for Valentine's Day (which I'm not really into...so I did a bunch of laundry and watched the Winter Olympics

1. Is calling something "dumb" offensive to people who are unable to speak? 2. I don't watch "Jersey Shore". Am I missing out on anything? 3. (This one is for Sharks fans.) Do you remember offhand who the current captain is, or do you have to be reminded? 4. Are thunderbolts and lightning very very frightening to you? 5. Do you know the song I referred to in question #4?

In case you didn't know, NYX Cosmetics is having a $1 sale on a few of their items through the 25th...mostly select colors of certain products, but I noticed that the entire range of their Ultimate Pearl Eyeshadows are part of the sale! (See Karla Sugar's swatches here.) No affiliation, I'm just a NYX fan. :) And here's a picture of my nails from the other week: a coat of $OPI Absinthe Makes

Performed by: Norah Jones Album: The Fall (2009) I chose the Late Show clip because that was the first time I heard the song. (See the video here.) I'm honestly not sure whether or not I like it. Norah Jones' songs generally put me to sleep, but this one makes me feel like I'm on a boat. Perhaps that fits in with the whole "pirates" thing. For the record, I didn't know she was singing "

Performed by: Richard Cheese Album: Lounge Against the Machine (2000) The line "What the hell is ADD?" in this rendition never ceases to crack me up. I thought I'd put a couple of different clips here...this song seems to be a popular pick for video assignments. (See the original here.) The Richard Cheese song I really wanted to share with you was his cover of Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" (

As the New Year approaches, I'm attempting to come up with resolutions that aren't obvious--for me, those would be "spend less money" and "exercise more"--while those things will also be on my list, I want to add others that will help with self-enrichment, like learning to play another instrument or to speak another language.

I'm pretty sure it's on a going-forward basis, though I may update my old posts just to be safe.

Bonus Post! Since I have these swatches ready and they're also Too Faced, why not post them today? Glamour to Go III goes for $19.50 and consists of eight eyeshadows, four lipglosses and a blush. Here are pictures taken next to the Natural Eye palette for size comparison purposes:And here are the swatches. Had I been more awake when I did these, they might have been straight on my arm. :P

The Queen for a Day collection is one of the Too Faced holiday items that came out a couple of months ago. The set consists of what you see above: a makeup bag, a bronzer, an eyeshadow quad, a special edition Flatbuki brush, a mini Lash Injection Pinpoint mascara, a lipstick (Lip of Luxury in the shade Free Love), and a full-sized Shadow Insurance primer.

So now would be the time to get UD presents and/or those sets and palettes you've been eyeing. :P I've compared one of the set-exclusive 24/7 Eye Pencils with some similar shades:Left side is indoors, right side is outdoors.

Performed by: ChilliwackAlbum: Wanna Be a Star (1981)I'll be honest--I first heard this song today. One of my YouTube recommendations was of an SCTV skit I hadn't seen before, so I checked it out:This led me to look up the actual song. It's not bad...

Those who know me wouldn't necessarily know that I love playing with color. Sure, I wear all sorts of colors on my nails, but as far as the face goes, it ranges anywhere from just sunscreen to a sunscreen + tinted moisturizer + a lip product w/ SPF + full eye makeup depending on when I manage to get myself up. (I'm not a morning person and I usually rush to get ready for work.) The eyeshadow

So I finally tried matte nail polish over the weekend...here is Zoya Loredana:I didn't know if I'd like matte nails, but I wanted to try it out just the same. Once I had this color on, I knew it was a winner. Now I kind of want Dovima, another Zoya matte shade, but I read that it was based on Freja, which I have. I wonder if I could just wear Freja with a matte topcoat. Would that suffice?

However, the phrase "going green" has always been a turnoff for me (I'm all for conservation, but I don't want it to sound like a fad), and I have more than enough green nail polish. Still, one color calls out to me: Reclaim.The Nubar site describes it as a medium holographic green. Holy

I'd only heard of Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics recently, when I saw a review for their Lip Tars over on Makeup Geek. A few weeks ago they had a gift with purchase special going on, and the gift was a full-sized loose colour concentrate in Clover and a mini nail lacquer in Pageant. Apparently Pageant used to be called Anime, which had me confused because they had recently added a new color to

I have quite a few bottles of nail polish in my collection, but I still feel like a novice when it comes to applying the stuff. But lately I've been doing it more frequently, so I think I'm getting better. Kind of. Most of the time I stick to the safe neutral-ish stuff, but I do love color, and since my work setting is pretty casual I can get away with whatever color I choose...so I'm starting

I'd just like to say that anyone who thought the HBP on Wright was intentional either didn't watch the game or wasn't paying attention. The game was scoreless at the time, there was a runner on first, no outs, and Cain had an 0-2 count on Wright. Why the hell would you intentionally throw at a guy in that situation? Anyway, Cain went on to pitch 7.1 innings and when he was taken out, he tipped

That's what sharing on Facebook is for. :P So I'm going to list some things that would be useful to post here other than Random Tuesday Music, seeing as how that was all I was doing for a

Performed by: Peter SchillingAlbum: Error in the System (1983)There was another song I was going to look for, but the notes I had on it (including, oh, what song it is) are on a different computer. Whoops. So I bring you this, which I thought about just now because my father likes it. If the song sounds somewhat familiar to you but is before your time, perhaps you heard a cover of it recently

One day last week I went to the office bathroom and noticed that a big plastic Taco Bell cup was sitting on the toilet paper dispenser in one of the stalls. No lid, appeared to be empty. The sight seemed odd at first, but then it occurred to me that someone had probably brought it in with them to use as a tabo.Yes, I have heard of the tabo. It's not something I use, but it's not a foreign

Performed by: Dire StraitsAlbum: Making Movies (1980)This is one of those songs that grew on me. I didn't enjoy the first few times I listened to it--and I mean really listening, not just hearing it sitting in the backseat of my dad's car as a wee one. It took me a while to get used to the mixture of singing and speaking, but the line "y'know, the movie song" always irked me a little bit. Not

(Some of this was paraphrased from my MySpace blog earlier today. Repetitive, yes, but I don't mind.)I'm a big Urban Decay fan, and I think their Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner is some pretty awesome stuff. However, it's normally $18--yikes--so when I found out that the 3-pc. set they put together (regularly priced at $36) was on sale for $22, I snapped that up...as did everyone else because they

I was considering heading down to Burlingame Avenue today to poke around various shops, including the Sephora store they have down there. It ended up being too damn hot. Perhaps next weekend. I'll buy stuff online, usually when it's something I've bought before, but sometimes it's just nice to see the stuff first. I like browsing through their website too, it's put together pretty nicely.

Artist: Tom Petty and the HeartbreakersAlbum: Hard Promises (1981)Hi. It's been a while. I've been a bit occupied lately. This is actually a documentary clip talking about the song; see an actual video here. I have no real thoughts other than that this song's been stuck in my head all day. It was kind of hard to come up with songs just because I hadn't done this for a few weeks (though in my

Artist: Yubaba, Smith & FortuneAlbum: Big Bang Mini OST (2009)Okay, so the clip is actually a trailer for the Nintendo DS game, but it gives you a taste of the ambient qualities of the soundtrack, which can currently be downloaded for free at the Big Bang Mini site. It's rather soothing (which can offset the fact that the game itself can be frustrating at times), and I can tell you that it helps

Artist: モーニング娘。 (Morning Musume)Album: 3rd -Love Paradise- (2000)I had another Morning Musume song stuck in my head last night, so I thought I'd share the pain with something a little more palatable. :P I believe this song is still their best-selling single, and it came out back on 9/9/99. Wow.

Artist: The Cat EmpireAlbum: Two Shoes (2005)This band is based in Melbourne, Australia. I first heard of them when they performed on David Letterman's show a couple of years ago and thought, "oh, they're fun!" The feeling I get from most of their stuff is very...laid back party music. If that makes sense. Anyway, from there I picked up that album, and I recently bought their latest, So Many

Artist: RöyksoppAlbum: Melody A.M. (2001)I've been slacking again. :P I went on an internet hiatus of sorts, but I'm back now! Had I been online, last week's selection would have been "Ugly Girl" by Fleming & John. Anyway, on to this song. Röyksopp is an electronic duo from Norway. If nothing else, you've likely heard one of the versions of "Remind Me", which was featured in this Geico ad.

I was out shopping earlier tonight. My hands were especially dry and I didn't have any cream on hand, which got annoying after a while. So when I was over at Ulta buying my sister's birthday present, I also got one of the many things of hand cream they had at the counter on sale for 40 cents (they were holiday-scented). I applied it right afterward and felt a little better, then I ran my other

I'd like to get back into a lot of things, like art. My main goal is for 2009 to be the year I start getting myself involved and accomplishing things. To this point, my life has involved a lot of

Artist: Newton FaulknerAlbum: Hand Built By Robots (2008)This is a cover of a song that has apparently been covered a few times--here is the original. The particular clip I've linked to above is a live version. Part of the reason I picked it is because it starts off with Faulkner doing a bit of Rusted Root's "Send Me on My Way", "the track with the weirdest vocal you've ever heard".

Remix by Adolfo Baez(Warning: Uh...Eminem song. NSFW language.)Something a little different this week...basically, this is Eminem's "Without Me" set to background music from the video game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. What's crazy about it is that it works.

Artist: INXSAlbum: Kick (1987)I know, I know, everyone knows this song. But I have it on the brain--I referred to it last night when I was writing about wanting to travel to the Czech Republic. They filmed this video in Prague (I think a couple of others too, but I'm sure about this one), so there you go.

It's been a while. I haven't gone missing, it's just that every time I try to write something here, the words disappear from my head. I'll try to fix this now. Here are some recent points of possible interest:- I went to the State of the Sharks last Tuesday. See my half-assed account here.- Travels with Carlo (The Wonderful World of Loser Domi) I don't know who Carlo Colaiacovo is, but he

At this point in the playoffs (the point where I have no real rooting interest left), I wonder who to root for. In recent years, it's been all about the team(s) whose fans I hate less. Taking this into account, I'm rooting for the Flyers in the east, which is a bit surprising to me. In the west, it's a wash as there are people on both sides of that fence that I just can't stand--though none of

Frankly, it almost didn't. I'm not going to nitpick as I'm sure others will. Why do that? What's the point? Everyone was dead tired, and you knew SOMETHING had to happen to end the game. I applaud the efforts of all the players, especially Nabokov and Turco. Damn. And congratulations to the Stars. This was a tough series; anyone who knew these teams knew that it would go this way, though

Let me begin with a super quick Game 4 recap:Apparently the key to a Sharks victory was to let Dallas score first. Devin Setoguchi was aware of this and acted accordingly:(I kid! I kid. We love you, Devin!) Marleau had another shorthanded goal soon after that, and the Sharks managed to win the game, 2-1.And with that, Game 5 is here. You can mention the Stars' dominance in the Tank until

Hey, look! Matt Cain won a game! It finally happened, even though he had some issues, but the team played well overall, and the bullpen did a good job to finish it off, so...yay!Unrelated note: It was really funny hearing the seagulls during the postgame wrap.Somewhat related note: Zito to the bullpen - your thoughts?

Sorry. I blame this headline on the in-game Love Guru promos.If you didn't see the Versus telecast of Game 7 of the Flames-Sharks series (or On the Fly later that night), then you probably missed this Jeremy Roenick postgame interview, so I'd like to share it with you here. The timing in the beginning just about killed me.

(Note: The following is mostly a repeat of yesterday's LJ post updated to include today's events.)I went back and forth on whether to get tickets to Game 7. I ended up deciding that I should go. I will cheer this team on to the bitter end if it comes to that--hell, that's why I went to Game 5. So once the clock struck 10 today, I did my thing. I will be there with (virtual) bells on as well

So...what happened here? Did Semenov show up at the last minute? Could they not move everyone in that row over a little more? Asymmetry bugs me in these kinds of group pictures, so it's no wonder that I noticed this right off the bat. But whatever. Go Sharks.

So I'm at work listening to the radio, and this one caller is going on and on about how much the Giants are going to suck this year. I zoned out after a minute but woke up when he mentioned the name Trevor Linden. He meant Todd Linden. This mistake actually happens quite a bit, and it manages to annoy me every time.

I was at the game tonight. I picked this game back when tickets first went on sale for two reasons: it was close to my birthday, and this was the Sharks' first game back after a long road trip. As the date approached, I wondered if I should have picked the Ottawa game on the 5th instead...but given the way things turned out I'm happy I picked this one. This was one of the most exciting games

Why haven't I been posting? Well, I've been lazy, sick and stressed, so...there's that. But I digress.So I have the espn.com NHL scoreboard open. I didn't think much a while ago when I saw that that Cristobal Huet had a shot on goal in the Caps-Devils game, but just now I saw "Cristobal Huet credited with hit on Sergei Brylin"...and right before that, he won a faceoff? Obviously his name is

(I kind of wrote about this already over in the Myspace blog, so I'll try not to repeat myself.)Maybe it's just me, but my stomach turns whenever I hear about the '72 Dolphins and their champagne. These past few months have been the worst since that story kept popping up throughout the season. But are they as pompous as their act, or is the media possibly making them out to be more pompous than

I'm hoping that quote makes sense in context, because it doesn't when it's stuck in the middle of a radio commercial...heard by someone who hasn't seen the movie.I might see it just to find out what the hell leads up to those words. But probably not.

This was the highlight of the All-Star Game for me. I missed the intro and half of the first period, but since Nabby played the second period, I was content.Random Note: I just heard on the radio that the last time there was a penalty in the NHL All-Star Game, it was committed by Sandis Ozolinsh in 2000. That is funny.

The Australian Open is on right now. I know I shouldn't be up. Of course, I do this during the World Cup too, so...I guess I'm masochistic when it comes to sports. Also, it feels like Nadal has been on the scene for a looong time, so I often forget that the man is only 21. ...Dude.

I came across a list through digg.com that was of "the 10 most racist Disney characters". I thought there was a chance that it would be interesting. Instead, it was one minute of my life that I would never get back. Aside from Aladdin, everything listed was from the 1960s at the latest. [edit: I remembered later that Sebastian from The Little Mermaid also made the list. Still, 8 out of 10...

It had been raining on and off today, and this afternoon I started seeing flashes every now and again out of the corner of my eye. At first I thought it was lightning, but the light of the flash didn't seem quite right, and I hadn't heard any thunder. I started freaking out, thinking my eyes were playing tricks on me. A few minutes later, I realized that one of my coworkers was taking pictures

Yesterday I received my latest order from Zappos, which included a pair of sand-colored Ugg boots. Taped to the bottom of the Ugg box were a couple of small scraps of wrapping paper.Know what that means? I now own someone's rejected Christmas present. I find this hilarious for some unknown reason.Hm, now that I think about it, this should have been a post for fetchez la vache...oh well, this

I was sent an e-mail at work regarding this fun stuff, and one of the safeguarding tips went something like this:"If you receive a message containing a link from a person you don't know, or haven't heard from for a long time, delete the message without opening it"The "haven't heard from for a long time" part is new to me, though I guess it makes sense.

I didn't write about the whole home run ball online vote thing because I thought it was dumb (still do--I mean, how much money is being spent on this when there are children starving and fun stuff like that), but I have a couple of questions about it anyway:1) If, for some bizarre reason, Barry Bonds is found to have not done anything wrong as far as the MLB rules of that time are concerned, do

So...Friday before Labor Day. People who come into work today generally "mail it in", or something, but seriously, I feel like I've been mailing it in all week. :P Dude. I've had the urge to get out of here, and I've been going outside for a walk (or just to stand/sit in the shade because it's been so freaking hot) more often than usual to try to quell the urge a bit, but I'm not entirely

We had a meeting at work today. I had to do a presentation with someone else, which went surprisingly well, but after that my brain went into this half-sleeping half-rambling mode, which, sadly, is what normally happens during these meetings. The main reason for this is because a high majority of what gets discussed doesn't apply to me, so I just zone out. For example, during a meeting the

Fake vacation has come and gone. Between then and now, I've been trying to get used to being back at work. I'm not used to it yet. I'm still not caught up. There's also drama going on that I'd rather not discuss. :P I would have loved to have voiced my thoughts on the whole baseball-steroids-Selig-Bonds-Aaron-etc. ordeal as well as why I have a hard time taking some Dodgers fans seriously,

I was channel-surfing and somehow I ended up on Bikini Destinations. This show seems to be more or less the same as "Get Out!", and it's on the same channel, so...which show came first? Anyway, the girls were in Alaska and they were hand-feeding baby animals in some kind of park or sanctuary or something along those lines. I thought that was odd, but it held my interest for a minute. Then it

I was introduced to TOKYOMANGO today through a link to the Condom Fashion Show in China entry. I was waaay into everything Japanese in the mid-late 90s. Not so much now--I have enough other obsessions to keep up with--but I did spend a few awesome days in Osaka five years ago.

My desire to not go see The Simpsons Movie (as opposed to a lack of desire to go see it) is probably because I'm not big on movies in general--however, the fact that I'm seeing commercials for it every five minutes isn't helping. In fact, I've seen so many of those commercials that I feel like I've already seen the frigging movie. I watched the show for something like 3-5 years earlier on in

The talk regarding NBA referee Tim Donaghy and the inability of many to pronounce his name correctly immediately made me think of 30 Rock, specifically the episode where Nathan Lane and Molly Shannon were guest stars.Anyone else?

I'm a bit of a klutz when it comes to just about anything. About an hour ago I took the first sip out of a bottle of orange drink, and a drop and a half of it fell onto my pink v-neck t-shirt that passes for business casual in my mind. I decided to wash it out, small as it was, but the water kind of got all over the place. So instead of the possibility of a faint orange stain on a shirt that's

Those of you who watch ESPN on a regular basis know of the "Who's Now" popularity contest thing that they're doing. While I see it as a really long way of asking "Who do you like more, Tiger or Lebron?", I have been voting every day. I generally vote for who I'd be more likely to recognize if I saw them walking down the street. Last night I came up with the idea to do an different version of

So I watched both of those shows that I talked about earlier. On "The Singing Bee", you start out with six people and go through various rounds, ending up with one winner who, depending on how they do in the final round, can receive up to $50,000. On "Don't Forget the Lyrics!", you have one person, and it's more or less like a karaoke version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?", complete with

I am excited, because it's that time of year--the Death March with Cocktails. Tim Goodman's writing makes for fun web reading, and since the pathetically high majority of what I read is on the internet...well, it makes for fun reading, period. My favorite quote so far: "But we eventually got there - 40 minutes through some of the uglier parts of Los Angeles, which only hammers home this thought

Maybe it's just me, but if you're going to have a bunch of giant events that a bunch of people attend, driving their bunch of cars in the process, for the sake of global warming awareness...isn't that just the slightest bit counter-productive?I was hanging out watching TV with my father, and he briefly flipped over to the concert coverage.

I wonder how many people will be going to casinos today. I don't gamble, so the thought hadn't crossed my mind until now. What will I be doing today? I'll be doing my usual summer weekend routine: going to a fastpitch softball tournament, cheering on the team that my dad coaches. It doesn't sound like much, but it works for me.

Hello, and welcome. I decided to start up my own general blog even though it's been a few years since I last did this regularly. Lately I've been reading the blogs of other people, and I've missed writing about everything and nothing. I begin with something I was reminded of after reading this open letter. While I also come across what's mentioned in said letter from time to time, this issue
