Now that I’ve had a few days to stink on it, I’ve drummed up a list of some of my favourite things in 2011. Part of the list (to be posted later) is beauty related. The other part (below the post cut) is all about music, baby. Because music has been one of my biggest loves for years. Serious business. Without further ado, here is the Best of 2011 Music List. Feel free to comment with YOUR favourite tunes of Twenty-Eleven!

Lookie what I found at my CVS:

Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat has hit the Central Kentucky scene, baby!

I couldn’t help but be a little shocked at the price: $7.29 per bottle. Really? Isn’t this… isn’t this supposed to be an alternative to OPI? At that price, it’s not all that “alternative”. Especially considering that China Glaze Crackle Glaze is just $5.99 at Sally’s. Still, I was chuffed, so I picked up the Antique Gold Crackle Overcoat, as China Glaze’s Metallics won’t be released in the US until July/August.

What can we do with Gold Crackle? This is one of the first looks that came to mind (pairing with Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in “Emerald City”):

Cash money, baby.

Now, for those who are curious about this particular crackle, I will say that the consistency is different from OPI: It is a bit thinner. However, don’t be a goober and pile on a big glopping coat to try and make up for it, because it won’t crack very well if you do. A nice, average coat is more than enough for deep cracks. If you like super-tiny islands of shattered colour, Antique Gold might not be for you, because I can’t see it being able to achieve such ultra-fine cracks. I’ll test with other colours later on, surely.

In other news, who else is loving the holy living hell out of the new Gaga? I must confess, I am a big Farmville geek, so I’ve been gathering all the Gaga quest gear, and enjoyed the album preview they had rolling a few days ago… but listening to my very own copy of it feels so, so good.

Some would argue that it’s a Radiohead fan… but some of us do beg to differ.

I hope whoever made this particular edit gets lots of cookies. Of all the Lotus Flower re-dubs, this one is the best (including all the other Single Ladies edits).

Yeah yeah, I really need to post more than just videos every now and then, but there are some things that just need sharing. And as soon as my bank account recovers from paying last month’s mobile bill, I’m snagging that track off Amazon and making it my new obsession.

I love The Guild. Love.

Anyway, news… news. Eh. School is coming up next week (gasp, oh noes). Later this week, I have “pre-employment testing” to go to, for whatever that means. I don’t even rate an interview. I just get tested. THE REAL WORLD IS JUST LIKE COLLEGE LOL. Oh, and I love a guy who hits you with flowers, chocolates and love notes, all on separate occasions, but well within a week’s time. Ok, so the chocolates were M&M’s, but I LIKE THEM OKAY. THEY WERE YUMMY. And also a surprise, so I count them! Officially. Hehe.

Want to hear a joke? Ok. Radiohead, [Your Favourite Hippie Stoner Band Here], and Faust walk into a bar…

PUNCHLINE: These Are My Twisted Words  (Advance / Leak / 2009)

Well. If this is really genuine, at least Phil still knows how to play drums.
