Although I will say for eye stuff try Urban Decay. I love their stuff. I'm still learning how to make-up and hair things, but I started with them. Easy to use, lots of colors.
That reminds me, I might re-henna. Might have my friend put in some blonde highlights first, though, so the red shows as more than a red sheen in direct sunlight.
Hey, can someone link me to the Family Guy clip where Stewie is making fun of Brian's novel in an increasingly high-pitched voice and finally Brian smacks him in the face with it?
individual episodes of BSG, even individual story arcs within BSG, are some of the finest TV i've ever watched
the special effects, production design, cinematography, direction, and my god the acting were consistently top notch
but the show is a serial built around an over-arching meta-plot that don't make no sense and was pulled out of the ass of the writers on a case-by-case basis
it is terrible
you compare it to something that was written by someone who gave a shit (like JMS writing Babylon 5) and it is so incredibly awful
i refuse to watch Caprica because i know it's going to be more of that shit, and even if it isn't it's still a prequel to a meaningless "universe" that is terrible and makes no sense
and then that is a mystery Six won't explain and it becomes the focus of the next few seasons
it became obvious to me the writers didn't know who the Final Five were either, because this show is fucking made up week-to-week as they go along and all this meta-plot and mystery is a giant fucking waste of my time why am I watching this meaningless BULLSHIT
and i kept watching, out of hopes that i was just cynical and i'd turn out to be wrong
then the show literally ended with Deus Ex Machina and i wanted to eat a gun
When I found out one of the final five was
that chick who worked for Laura who had maybe five lines in the entire series until then
I just thought "you really just pulled all of this out of your ass five minutes before the script was due didn't you?"
They kinda had to with that one.
It was originally supposed to be the guy that was her original assistant, but he had other commitments or something like that.

My girlfriend did the whole henna thing the other week. Her hair smelled like poop for a long time.
Told her I was going to make her put a bag over her head before bed so it wouldn't get in my face.

The worst thing was when I was shopping on Monday and got stuck in a top I could not take off without help
that was embarrassing
I've done this before! Dresses too. >>
Really? How?
Boobs.
Also, I need to rehenna as well. I'm thinking of growing my hair out for a bit... but it still needs to be done. I've been needing to do it for months. The sun here washes my natural red out so bad.

With rare exception, I actually liked the "nonsense" BSG spun together, as did all of my BSG watching friends and family.
The only place I EVER see any hate for it is on the internets. Not to say the hate isn't real; it is. I just think a lot more people like the way they ended the series than D&D would have you believe.
That said, I think I am the only one of those friends and family who stuck with Caprica to the bitter end. I liked some of what they were saying, but the unfocused mess that was that show, and the unlikable cast they created, was doomed for total failure.

Funnily enough, the part of BSG I hated the most, and by far, was Baltar's trial. Such a great idea with so much potential, thrown away in a bad American legal drama parody that was decided by a speech that had no bearing on the accusations.

Huh, I feel surprisingly good for someone who got so depressed he drank until he made a complete ass of himself and then had to get up in 6 hours. I guess I really did just need to blow off some steam.

That's where I'm at right now watching it with my mom. They just "killed off" her favorite character and now this fairly lame trial which is being strung out over three fucking episodes.
She's losing interest and I don't want to spoil it for her, but she needs to keep watching.

I think they were kicking themselves for choosing a number that high (12). Because they already had one model that they almost never used, and a second who they just barely used and then they were like "Shit, 5 more?"
My girlfriend did the whole henna thing the other week. Her hair smelled like poop for a long time.
Told her I was going to make her put a bag over her head before bed so it wouldn't get in my face.
Yeah, I use Lush's henna for it 'cause it's got other things added to prevent the smell. I don't mind it, kind of smells like collard greens, but some people don't like it.
That said, I think I am the only one of those friends and family who stuck with Caprica to the bitter end. I liked some of what they were saying, but the unfocused mess that was that show, and the unlikable cast they created, was doomed for total failure.
I... I think both Dyr and I disagree with you on this. But I don't particularly feel like arguing it.

Ahhhh. When I went bra shopping I found out I've apparently gone up a cup size, but down a bra size. Strangest thing.
oh my god just finding plus sized stores in toronto is going to make me vomit.
uuuuuuuuugh I hate my body
Is there a Torrid there? I like Torrid.
I don't know I have no idea how to look for this shit. I just googled plus sized stores Toronto and the first hits are like expensive vintage shit that's like $200 for a skirt.
There's few things that rage me out more than bad serial writing.
I'm a writer. I have, in fact, written TV before. I don't talk about it a whole lot but it is a thing I've done. Point is, when you are doing a serial TV series I think you have an obligation as a writer not to make shit up as you go along.
Episodic TV series, or episodic TV series with the occasional story arc thrown in, are a little different since they're more about the status quo than an ongoing meta-plot.
But BSG was a serial show, like Lost. Every episode followed the previous, and with a few exceptions none of the episodes are self-contained stories you could just drop from the show without missing anything in the future.
When you are writing a show like that, I think you better fucking make sure you know what you are doing. If you are going to foreshadow plot threads, actually know where they are going. Don't just leave dangling hints you later come back and try to weave together like it's what you meant to do all along, because trust me it fucking shows, at the very least it shows to a writer and especially someone who has worked on TV some.

That would have been so much better! I don't get why the chose who they did, though, because her position was not relevant to her cylon status at all.

I may never watch the final season.

Edit: I'm not going to lie, I thought I wouldn't have a hard time finding stores that cater to bigger women in Hawaii. GUESS WHAT, I WAS WRONG.
Everyone sells shit for the tiny Japanese tourists.
I'm not even quite as big as I was! I'm not tiny but I need shit cut for boobs and hips. NOT HAPPENING HERE, JERKS!

Probably the greatest sci-fi show ever made, and it created arc based shows.
However, I'm not sure how it'd be going into it now. The acting is frequently pretty poor, and it had a budget lower then most british soaps.
Don't let the Internet hate keep you from something you might enjoy.
The final confrontation was so fucking epic, there are no words.
And the Battlestar Galactica proves to be the most amazing ship in the history of ever.

now i don't play much, but i like thematic decks etc
would it be possible to sort of make a decent deck with these ideas?
only creature spell is insects
you have a lot of things like giant growth that makes them big and lets them trample
also throw in a bit of infection mechanics?
like radioactive b movie monster deck
it would most likely be black/green right?
