dear self part 2:

if you have cut out a bunch of equilateral octagons and squares from the last piece of posterboard you have left, and you intend to trace the outlines on the wrong sides of quilting fabric on the ferry ride to work, and you put the fabric in your backpack along with some thread and a needle for the trip home, it kind of behooves you to remember to put the posterboard octagons and squares in the backpack too.

guess I know what I'm doing at lunch.

I was thumbing through a nail polish web site (holotaco.com) looking for new base coats in the hopes that one might be less prone to ripping away entirely and hit a base coat designed specifically for peeling off. Apparently folks who change nail polish colors often prefer that option since it's easier than going through ten fingers' worth of chemical stink to remove the polish.

The instructions on the peely base page noted that if you want your polish to last longer, you should make a point of not spreading your polish- base coat, color, or otherwise- all the way to the edges of the nail. I shall have to try that tactic next time.
