Makeup feels weird.

Yesterday (Tuesday), I had makeup put on my face for the first time. I don’t mean, like, Halloween costume makeup; I’m talking about that brown stuff that’s supposed to cover up blemishes and whatnot. I don’t know how girls do it; I guess it’s something they get used to pretty early on. But it sure felt — and looked — odd on me. I will explain why I was wearing...

Just realized that I have exactly 150 followers here, which is less than one-tenth the number of followers I have on Twitter (1,577 at the time I’m writing this). There must be fewer people on Tumblr who care about my Destructoid stuff, because as far as I can tell, that’s the only reason why most of my Twitter followers are, uh, following me.

natface: thedisgruntledgradstudent: tumblgr: My result: 333/400. Reblog/reply with your results. 360/400 — and that was even me being intentionally moderate on several of my replies! 156/400. I’m assuming I’m the only one most of you are going to see under 300. 317/400.

Random book/TV thought: The Great Gatsby and Mad...

So, I’m reading The Great Gatsby for class (I’ve read it before, but that was in high school and I don’t remember anything about the book). While reading, it dawned on me that Don and Betty Draper (y’know, from Mad Men) are essentially Tom and Daisy Buchanan (respectively). Upper-class folks who live outside New York City (in Gatsby, it’s Great Neck as opposed to...

EA Sports NBA Jam debut trailer When I saw the telltale white flash of a loose ball, I giggled like, well, 8-year-old me. The same thing happened when I saw somersaulting dunks. Oh yes. Not digging the wannabe-Tim-Kitzrow announcer, though. [click here for the HD version]
