I feel like I always start my posts by whining about either how long or how little time it's been since the previous post. Hashtag so original. IT HAS BEEN QUITE A WHILE THOUGH.

I watched season 2 - or what I thought was the entirety of season 2 - of the 100 on Couch Tuner, only to find out the whole thing hadn't aired yet. Anyone else who has bingewatched shows at a pace of like one season a day knows the struggle of suddenly having to wait a whole month for the remaining 4 episodes. Still, I haven't been let down yet - even though the start of season 1 isn't that strong except for an interesting premise (even the characters are pretty weak in the beginning, in my opinion) it's only been improving the further we go into the second season. The writers of the show have this knack for the characters staying true to themselves and still managing to develop, and there are lots of dramatic plot twists. They are always supremely painful yet completely logical and reasonable. One of my favourite things in this show, really. I ordered the books the show is loosely based on: for once, the show is like way better. If post-apocalyptic slightly YA-ish plots and shows interest you, definitely check out the TV version in stead of the novels. I've only read 1/3 so far, and I'm not too impressed.

Speaking of being impressed by books: first of all, I've been reading more Joe Hill. I don't remember if I talked about NOS4A2 yet, but it was  a m a z i n g. A definite recommendation for someone who enjoys horror and/or Stephen King-esque novels. I also read The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey, which is some more post-apocalyptic YA thing. Notice a theme here? Hah. Anyway, it has aliens and shit. It's great, especially if you're like me and like to consume entertainment at a pretty rapid pace instead of overthinking it. I think the novel's plot is good, but apparently some of the twists are really obvious to people. I whisk through books so fast it wasn't an issue for me, but maybe something to think about. There's also going to be a movie about it, which will be released sometime in 2016. I have the sequel, but I've been dreading starting it because the third novel won't be released until somewhere in the fall. Hng.

We went out clubbing for a bit last weekend, again. I also caught a cold again. Thankfully I didn't do any significant damage to tendons anywhere this time, though. I did wear some heels (like barely 2" since I usually don't wear heels, but it's still quite a change from flats/combat boots) so basically my thighs and calves were sore as hell the next day. It felt like quite a workout. Also I think the same young-ish Turkish guy tried to snuggle me on the dance floor like 5 times. Sigh. But hey, J's little sister turned 18 (that's why we were partying) and apparently she had a lot of fun, so all's well that ends well! I kinda want to revisit my favourite gay club at some point, too. Have to drag my friends there sometime - we've been going to the same place lately, because they have free entry until midnight and that's just... handy as heck. So. We'll see.

I don't know if I was going anywhere with this. I kind of really want to buy some NYX cosmetics right now, though. Or maybe Sleek would have some nice highlighters? I have tons of eyeshadows and even some lip colours now, I kind of need to get on track with lip pencils though. I don't know. And I haven't been able to find a more natural-looking foundation that suits me yet. Ugh. I'm thinking about trying some BB/CC cream by Gosh that someone on the internet recommended because it's vegan. Oh dear. Also, can I just point out that it's super irritating when I watch some US/UK beauty vloggers talk about their favourite (especially drugstore) products and there is literally no way to get them to Finland? The stores don't carry them, online drugstores don't ship to Finland and neither do most Amazon or eBay sellers. The struggle is so real. Well, I'll see if there's a NYX foundation some people like, maybe I'll just accidentally order some other products on the side too.... Tee hee.

Bye!
