Analogy fail

I've been looking like a bum at work for the a few months while. I needed new clothes and, with the coming of pay-day, I and the bf went out to shop. I came back with the requisite shirts, pants, a new credit card (don't ask), and, god help me, nail polish. But...it's Claire's Mood color changing nail polish! What do you mean that means nothing?! I know. But I had seen swatches of a few of the colors before and I am a sucker for novelty. Yes, even when that novelty forces me to step into a Claire's. But my poor impulse control is not the problem here.

I picked up three colors. They're basically named after the shifts in mood that they're supposed to reflect. I got an orangy coral called excited/bored. I also picked up a glittery purple called calm/wild. And I picked up a tealish color (it looks more green in the bottle but it photographs with more blue) called...wait for it...peaceful/confident. Yes, in the world of Claire's Cosmetics, the opposite of peaceful is confident. I didn't notice the name until I had gotten home. I don't think I would have bought it if I had.

Take a gander at the fail under the cut. And forgive the mess on my desk. This is actually the cleanest it's looking in months.

Sakurajima is at it again. It looks a bit more intense than it was last night. I love this webcam. You get great views of the volcano plus you occasionally see bits of the city that faces it. I just can't imagine living so close to something like this.
