This is a bad time to try to find a job in my line of work.  I'm exhausted.  It feels like all I do is apply to jobs and have no leads.  I know in reality I haven't been looking that long, but I feel like I've put a lot of effort in my search already.  Blah!  Sad face. 

The Fruitcake Lady Tells It Like It Is - Funny Compilation

Jason's says this is going to be at 94.  She's awesome!  

Show image location, iPhones

iPhones.  Many of us have them.  More of us would love to have them.  But maybe they aren't as great as we think.  One feature on the iPhone I definitely would prefer not to have is "Show Image Location."  Are you following?

Alright, say you are taking a picture.  Before you taking the picture a screen pops up asking if you would like to use your current location?  

Now I have never clicked "OK" before and accidently last night I did.  Not thinking anything of it, I was shocked to learn this morning that instead of the picture I had intended to post online, there was a pinpoint on a map that literally showed where I live.  That is scary on many levels.  The picture looked something like the following:

How you can turn off this feature so you don't have to worry about such an incident happening to you is to go to the main Menu. Select:

• Setting
• General
• Location Service
• Switched the tab off

Viola!

Sunless tanner reviews: Bain de Soleil Radiance Eternelle and Sun Giesee's Ultra Dark Self Tanning Aerosol Spray

The boyfriend doesn't like it when I lay under those amaZING artifical lights and have the best 12 minutes of sun therapy, so I am on a mission to find the best sunless tanner on the market. 

Bain de Soleil Radiance Eternelle: The stuff dreams are made of...

I used to buy this discontinued brand sometimes as low as $3.99 on sale at drugstore.com.  $3.99 from $17.  Those were the good old days.  I could stock up, literally fill up my cabinets, and know that I was going to have a hot, sexy glow for months to come. I personally like looking like Malibu beach Barbie ever chance I get.  No it's homer simpson Barbie, but I will find a tanning lotion!  Anyway...

No one could tell that this tan came from a bottle.  Over the years I've recommended this lotion to others who have also jumped on the bandwagon and then some genius at Bain de Soleil decided they would discontinue the golden child and keep the other tanning lotions that turn you orange.  If I wanted to look orange, I'd stick with Neutrogena.  You can still find this wonderful lotion, which comes in Medium-Dark and Dark (don't bother with Light-Medium) online, but it will now set you back $49.99 on Ebay or $61.95 + on Amazon.  Yes, that is for 1 bottle.  Like, I said, this artificial crap was amazing.  I happen to have 3 bottles left.  Be jealous, very jealous. 

Verdict: Pure awesomeness...IF you can get your hands on a bottle

Sun Giesee's Ultra Dark Self Tanning Aerosol Spray (Dark):

This is supposed to be a revolutionary tanning product since you can spray yourself "evenly all over...without ever having to rub it in."  Talk about gimmick gone wrong.  You can spray your whole body, but you are covered in dark patches.  Regardless if you follow the directions and spray 6 inches away, the dark splotches result.  Now you have to get your hands dirty and rub in the mess and no matter how much you try to scrub this chemical off it is there to stay.  So say hello to hobo hands (and feet unless you are really careful).  It's also very hard to try to color the backs of your hands once you have finally cleaned your palms.  While the color that developes is nice and dark (olive like), I just find this product to messy and complicated compared to other products out there.  

Verdict:  Just don't bother

It is as absurd to say that a man can't love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music.

My weekly horoscope

You may be feeling the joys of Saturn leaving your sign this week. The last few years of dishevel are now behind you. There are lovely relationship aspects for you mid week bringing a fresh perspective to old problems. Opportunities are now around for a new romance to blossom into something more. Communications are now open again. Contacts with others which have been blocked are now firmly re-established. You may wish to put off a bit longer any changes to career. Give yourself time to just enjoy yourself and breath again.

Clearly I like it and knew that everything was about to change for the better.  

The eyes are the window to the soul.

This quote is now a well known proverb.  It traces back to the bible and even further back to Cicero.  Shakespeare and modern musicians take inspiration from this.  But what does it mean?  

I have no idea what my soul looks like, nor that of another.  I could perhaps tell you my aurora, but we're talking souls here.  Sometimes we walk down the street and we make eye contact for a brief moment.  Nothing.  Other times we look into another's eyes and are fixated in a strong hold.  It can be comforting, chilling, loving, tender, lust inducing ... there are a magnitude of emotions and feelings that can takeover you. On occasion you get lucky and this hold is so consuming you can't break contact.  You could gaze into those eyes forever.  Eyes intertwined, pupils aligned, every spec, dot, character emphasized.  There is everything you need to know in those eyes and lots of learning that could follow.  You're not reading their soul, their inner thoughts or makings.  What you can decipher is whether they are friend, lover, or foe.  All that without words. 

*Spoiler* Shopgirl Ending

I desperately searched for clips of my 3 favorite quotes from Shopgirl, but nothing.  
 
The premise of the movie is a young woman falls in love with an older man who cannot open his heart to her, or presumably anyone. And the story goes...

So I can hurt now or hurt later. Now I guess.

Utter sadness verbalized by Mirabelle as she realizes that no matter how much she loves Ray , being with him will only cause her anguish.  And so she leaves...

Some nights alone he thinks of her. And some nights alone she thinks of him. Some nights these thoughts occur at the same moment. And Mirabelle and Ray are connected without ever knowing it...

The quote is longer, however this is the important aspect.  Ray searches for Mirabelle in the women he meets and ends up content in his discontent.  However, Mirabelle, has presumably found reciprocal love, respect, and adoration with another who is more willing and able than Ray could ever be.  


And my favorite quote  accompanied by a prefacing clip is of the ending.  The following quote is words spoken as Ray Porter watches Mirabelle walk away to the arms of her lover and realizes the consequences of his choices:  

As Ray Porter watches Mirabelle walk away he feels a loss. How is it possible, he thinks, to miss a woman whom he kept at a distance so that when she was gone he would not miss her. Only then does he realize that wanting part of her and not all of her had hurt them both and how he cannot justify his actions except that... well... it was life.

Dreams are children of idle brain, begot of nothing but vain fantasy, which is as thin a substance as air and more inconstant than the moon.

It's a Jay Sean themed station day on Pandora.  He is the most amaZING thing I have encountered since coming to New Jersey.  Watch out America.  This Punjab is taking over with the catchiest song and pretty funny music video.  Check out "Down" ft. Lil Wayne here. 

I am also extremely excited since my parentals are coming to see me today!  Woot woot.

A beautiful relationship does not depend upon how good we understand someone, but on how well we avoid misunderstandings.
