There's Even a Starbucks Here!

Right now I'm in a conference room at my company's corporate offices in D.C., surreptitiously posting this while "checking my email." I'll be back in town and able to post again tomorrow night (my birthday!).


P. S. To everyone that said I should have used sunscreen to prevent the sunburn - I did! SPF 45, even! Multiple applications! But it didn't prevent the grossness that was the dried, peeling skin on my shoulders.

you know, save for the reptilian aspects of your epidermus, it's still a very sexy shoulder.

Over the past few years, I have moved in to the school of thought that SPF anything attracts the sunlight with it's beautiful sweet-smelling coconut smell.. and the sun eat the shit up like candy - and then all yer left with is a scorching burn...

I went to Mexico three years in a row - the first two times.. i worn sunblock - spf 45 .. I became a poster-child for a burn-victim ...

Last year.. Cancun .. no spf.. no burn... I'm telling ya.. it's a conspiracy to put you into a false sense of security.

Enjoy D.C !!

Just wanted to be the first to officially say it as near to your Birthday as I can possibly get:

Eh, sunscreen is for the weak.

I'm not trying to brag, AMG, but I didn't use ANY sunscreen while on my island adventure and I didn't burn once...

OK, once. But I didn't peel.

This is why I am cooler than you.

(Happy Birthday if I don't see you!)

I am a "peeler" to. You need to exfoliate. If you exfoliate then the skin goes away.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

Some birthday advice -- old school sunburn remedy -- olive oil! You can then rub the garlic bread on yourself afterwards.

Maybe it's a chemical burn?

jamwall said...

maybe you're applying it incorrectly.....allow me to demonstrate. i'll need sunblock lotion, candles, somekind of soothing music, and booze.

Of course there's a bloody Starbucks. They're everywhere (even Shanghai. I swear, I have photographic evidence).

And, seeing as everyone else is doing it:
Bon Anniversaire
