Since moving to Portland, I somehow accumulated a growing number of great company. Wonderful people who, in spite of my lack of financial success and established career, have made me feel more rich and fulfilled than I ever had before in my lifetime. And this June 24th, these wonderful people and gathered with my wonderful boyfriend and me at EaT Oyster Bar to celebrate my 31st birthday.

The oyster shooters were beyond spicy; they were nuclear. It took us the entire dinner to finish each shooter.

My take on the Joseph Ducreux meme. I was making silhouette frames and wanted to put one to good use.

I have tried a few waterproof and smudgeproof eye liners but they don’t work. I also tried a powder (w/eye brush that looks like a small paintbrush) and liquid liner (that one was VERY difficult to use and I had to give it away because I had so much trouble with it). I wonder maybe if my eyes are just too squinty when I laugh that it’s like my lids are rubbing each other so my makeup comes off/smears.

I have a huge problem with smudgy eyeliners, too. Because of the way my upper eyelids bulge out, the part with the eyeliner tends to roll in and smear all over. I had to give up on drugstore brand liquid liners because they took too long to dry and smeared horribly.
I’ve been through quite a trial myself and the types that seem to work best for me are the gel or cream eyeliners that come in little jars and are applied with angled or pointed brushes. I’ve only tried two so far and I haven’t needed to find anymore as these guys are lasting me a long time and work really well.
MAC Fluidline Gel Eyeliner
Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Eyeliner
Another great alternative I have heard about is this one:
Wet 'n Wild Mega Eyes Créme Eyeliner
I use a stiff angled eyeliner brush from EcoTools that seems to work pretty well.
Do any of you have recommendations for Kim on smudge-proof eyeliners? Please share!

I managed to capture a shot of Bella looking up at me while purring her silly head off. You can see where she drooled. She drools when she's happy. It's kind of gross.

My current favorite shoes are both Crocs.
Are you kidding, Alienman?! Noo, don't do it!!
Yes, the same Crocs that I thought were too ugly to see the light of day and should only be worn for pure functionality and certainly not for aesthetic value. The same Crocs that makes hideous rubber boats that your boyfriend wears everywhere he goes… before he decides to go a step further and get shoes with toes, thereby causing you to wonder which is worse, toed shoes or rubber boats. The same Crocs that your dad wears over his socks to match his hiking shorts and cane.
Yes, I love my Crocs but they are not the same style as the one above.
Rain and bicycles. How very Oregon. Boots are Crocs Jaunts

I am alienman. Writing a small blurb about myself is the hardest thing to do. "Blurb" is a funny word.
