Things I have learned this weekend:
- SPF 8 apparently protects better than SPF 30.
- Christian Bale’s Batman voice can give someone* nightmares.
- Burnt cleavage is quite possibly the most uncomfortable feeling ever.
- Moo-moos are making a come back (especially when one can’t wear pants/bras due to a really bad sunburn)
- Sleeping is not easy when only one part of you isn’t burnt.
- Playing Boom Blox for more than an hour can cause injury.
- Aloe only soothes directly after application. Give it five minutes and you’re back to pain.
- Twizzlers don’t make efficient straws when drinking a slushie.
- Apparently yogurt takes the sting out of a sunburn. Who knew?!
- People who hack into Facebook accounts are lame.
- X-Sport Fitness will lie to you and cost you an extra $157.
- July went by WAY too fast.

Oh geesh. Sunburns effin suck. And I completely agree that July went by way too fast.

Everyone keeps saying that Bale’s ‘Batman voice’ was silly. It was his disguise. He needs to remain incognito, like me on my blog.

I agree with you – Batmans’ voice was…well, wrong. I couldn’t decide if it was because it was a ‘yelling-whisper’ or the fact it sounded like he was wearing a retainer.

Unfortunately I hear that Christian Bale also did a weird voice in American Psycho.

I agree on the Batman voice – I know he needed it to disguise himself – but why does he use it when it is just he and Lucious talking in the basement?

(Yes I obviously am a nerd and have seen this movie twice)

SERIOUSLY.

Where did July go? Did someone steal it? Where is it hiding?
\

I’m upset about this.

I didn’t say it was silly, just scary. Though I do have to question why he used it. Michael Keaton didn’t use a fake voice.
Reply
I wasn’t a fan of his Batman voice either… but I guess he has to disguise it or whatever. However he does have a very distinct chin. How come no one recognizes the chin?… any-who, I also think that July flew by.

yogurt and sunburns?! how interesting!

How is boom blox? We’ve read good reviews about it, but haven’t met anyone who actually owns it.

Good point! I thought about that during the movie as well.

I got sunburnt last week. It sucked. I’m sorry..

July went by way too fast. Seriously.

ewwww sunburn. i’ve definitely, definitely been there, and i sympathize completely. keep up with the aloe though.. it will help reduce the amount of peeling.
Reply
yeah, the Bale Batman voice? Not good….
Reply
Get aloe with litocane in it. Put it in the freezer and then apply. You will be numb and it will feel awesome.
Reply
Good to know the Twizzler thing. Thanks for the sharing.

I’m feeling you with the sunburn situation. I’ve got my legs, arms, shoulders, back and cleavage covered in pain. Sleeping=no fun.
Reply
Oooh! New blog design!!!
\
\
I’m with you on the sunburn thing…. Mine’s peeling now, and I can’t help but pick at it. Why’s that so addicting??
Reply
Agreed on the aloe comment. I have a spray-on kind, and it basically only feels good as it’s being sprayed on. As soon as it dries, I’m kinda like.. wait, what was the point of that?!
\
\
Maybe I’ll just start using yogurt, since that seems to work.

Boob burn?? Ouch that’s the worst. I once had it bad and ended up going out dancing and was annoyed that every guy was staring at my boobs. I mentioned it to my friend who then reminded me my neck/arms were pale white and my boob area was lobster red. Apparently she couldn’t even stop staring. So, if the people are looking, don’t get angry. Just accept it. These are my words of wisdom regarding burnt cleavage.

ugh I stilllll haven’t seen Dark Knight..

yeaaaaaaaa burnt cleve is totes uncomf
\
\
yea aloe doesn’t do much…i think it helps moisturize the skin in a weird way so you don’t peel….as much….maybe?

yogurt? Who’d a thought!

i feel your pain with the sunburns. i burn really easily… but a little bit of advice: if you take an ibuprofen when you realize you’re burnt, but before you start feeling it, you can stop the formation of the chemicals that cause the pain.

I’ll keep it in mind for the future though!

That would have been amazing to know yesterday

I once tried to use aloe vera on a burn from the stove, per some ill-informed maternal advice. I’m not sure if it was the nature of the burn, or if I’m just allergic, but the aloe vera made the burn a million times hotter. I haven’t touched the stuff since.
Reply
God I hate Tit burn, it hurts SO bad and makes staring at your chest so unsexy. I’m sorry you’re burned, but it gets better every day No fail!
Reply
agreed on burnt cleavage=awful.
\
\
upper thigh burning stinks too!!
Reply
I like the new pic of you!

Also, peeling cleavage is the worst… because it just looks like you are constantly linty. Ew.
Reply
Hope the sunburn gets better soon. I have some SPF 85 I’ll lend you for next time. Also? Can I come over and play your wii? Please?
Reply
I was also not digging the batman voice. Even though he “had” to do it. I’m thinking someone else could have done it better.
Reply
Burnt cleavage is definitely not fun especially when you can’t sunbathe again for a few days while it heals.
Reply
Yeah, the Batman voice was creepy and a little amusing. Also, burnt cleavage is never fun. It’s one of those places that’s really hard to make feel better…
Reply
just wanted to say that i LOVE the new layout!! its lookin’ pritty pritty good

I didn’t read all the comments above, so forgive me if someone else said this…

But another great thing for sunburns is cola. Yep, Coke/Pepsi/RC Cola, etc.
\
\
If you apply it with a washcloth – by dabbing it on, of course, ’cause rubbing will be terribly painful – it takes the stinging feeling out of the sunburn. You’ll be sticky, but that part is nothing a shower and bar of soap can’t fix.

You can thank Ocean City, MD and August 2003 for this knowledge, ha.

I used to belong to XSport but they never cost me an extra $157 or they SO would have heard about that.
