I could be writing a paper, or-

So because I'm on this kick of making my own natural body products (not because I'm afraid of chemicals, mind, but because I am cheap and because it satisfies my inner eight-year-old, craving to play with the soaps) and because my flist is, due to the holiday, deader than Heaven on a Saturday night, I present to you with some recipes.

( Under the cut: detangler, tattoo balm, lip balm, hair rinse )

I get all my supplies from Mountain Rose Herbs, which I highly recommend. I also make my own body butter, but honestly, I couldn't tell you how to make it. I put shea butter and cocoa butter and carrier oil and perfume in a double boiler, melt it all together, and cool it. More cocoa butter makes it harder, more shea butter makes it creamier, more carrier oil makes it thinner, perfume makes it smell nice (this latest batch is BPAL/ThinkGeek's Cthulhu In Love, which smells delicious). It also smells nice unscented, because the cocoa butter has a nice smell.

So there. Go forth and be moisturized.

La la la, still not writing my paper

1. It is not uncommon, when perusing my flist, to run across posts along the lines of, "Oh, I watched a few episodes of SGA the other day, and I really miss the team! :("

Well, dear readers, this is what I am working with over here: last night I dreamt I watched a few episodes of SGA, and now I really miss the team.

I'll grant you that it was better than the dream I had day before yesterday where Paris Hilton was my tattoo artist, but still.

2. So, I have a free app that turns my phone into an e-book reader. Pretty sweet, you might say. But my only problem is that my library currently looks like this: ( Cut for picture )

So what do you recommend, flist? Do you know of a good free e-books site that isn't sketchy as a sketchy thing? Any suggestions for a good long (I'm thinking 10000-70000 words) read, fannish or otherwise? SGA would, I think, go down well, as would some Inception (though I regret to inform you that I still have not regained my taste for Arthur/Eames) or any other fandom you think I might like. Recommendations for gothic/Lovecrafty short stories would also not go amiss.

3. However are you, flist? I feel like I hardly hear from anybody anymore. :(
