Oh, and “I SLEEP NOW” has nothing to do with my actual plans—it’s just an in-joke for cool people who like obscure sci-fi movies. You’re not in the club.
See, what you don’t understand is that Cadavra is completely and totally awesome. Everyone I’ve sat down at gunpoint and forced to watch this movie has completely loved it.
I know it’s hard, especially when you’re in the water having fun. Bullfrog makes a GREAT waterproof high-SPF sunscreen that truly doesn’t wash off unless you’re using soap.
You gotta double up on the first application, too; let the first coat sink in for 15 minutes or so, and then add more. And most people don’t use enough. You really gotta slather it on and rub it in.
There’s also the option of wearing sunblocking clothing or bathing suit.
We’ve had two family members die of melanoma in the last year. Not fun. :-/
My bathing suit seemed to block the sun just fine, owing to the swimsuit outline I’ve got going around my body. I’ll need to invest in the Bullfrog next year, Banana Boat has lied to me for the LAST TIME about their ‘waterproof, sweatproof’ formula.
Adorable photo, made me laugh! So, seriously. There is this stuff called sunblock that is super easy to use, you just smear it on. It’s like a lotion! And you can find it for sale at many fine establishments.
OUCH! been there, done that! it sucks! i’m still recovering from sunburns. yikes. (i’m just glad the weather has subsided and that it’s in the 70s all week. thank you, michigan weather!)
lots of aloe vera and dream cream for you! *hugs!*
You are much better at that than I am. I got burned yesterday too (also after putting on sunscreen), but as usual for me, the burn is in weird random splotchy patches on various parts of my body. Specifically, a spot on my lower neck and a giant splotch on the back of my right arm and left calf.
I still have weird tan-line things on my legs from a burn I got in 2009. At least the splotches on my left side from 2006 are finally gone.
Oh noez! I know how you feel. Last time I went out to the lake, I made very sure to apply and reapply with the coppertone spray super duper waterproof, sweatproof, bombproof SPF 1 million sunblock but managed to miss a tiny line right under my boobs on each side. WTF? I now have a brown line that kind of looks like my boobs are on a shelf. 😐 <---Just like that.
I’ve got a buttload of the green aloe vera goop I need to use up first. Made by the same manufacturer who betrayed me with their sunscreen promis–oh my god, I get it. It’s a conspiracy! Of COURSE they don’t want their sunscreen to work, otherwise how could they also sell me aloe vera?
“They’ve booby-trapped their sun somehow!”

A minor setback! I’ll just wait until the skin grows back on my eyeballs.
Oh, unrelated: that’s a Lost Skeleton of Cadavra icon, isn’t it? HIGH FIVE. I SLEEP NOW.
It totally is! Did you know the sequel, The Lost Skeleton Returns Again, just came out on DVD?
THAT’S FOR YOU TO KNOW.
I knew introducing you two was gonna be a bad idea.
And by a bad idea, you mean a great idea, right?
Of course you do.
::whines::
Of course she does. Ignore her whines (as we all learned to do a long time ago).
Not only was I unaware of it’s recent release, I was unaware of it’s EXISTENCE.
Universe, you’ve proven yourself worthwhile once more.
I like that you’re shouting about going to sleep at ONE AM. That’s a NORMAL PEOPLE TIME. WHEN DID YOU TURN NORMAL???
That’s the sun-madness setting in.
That’s the thing that explains the last 20 minutes of Sunshine, right?
Funny enough, that’s exactly what I thought right after I posted the comment.
AV Club had a discussion about third act failures, and the comment section is overflowing with “OMG SUNSHINE FUCKING SUCKED” discussions: http://www.avclub.com/articles/thirdact-failures,42033/#comments_start
1, duh.
2, you’re gonna have to try wayyyy harder than that to get me to read an AV club comment thread.

I’m not only the president of that club, I’m also a client. And I thank my lingering brain cells that I haven’t been subjected to Cadavra yet.
OH MY GOD WHY ARE THE RACCOONS SO LOUD TONITE.
See, what you don’t understand is that Cadavra is completely and totally awesome. Everyone I’ve sat down at gunpoint and forced to watch this movie has completely loved it.
Ouch ouch ouch!!
Oh, Melissa.
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO CALL ME BEFORE ANY NEW ADVENTURES!
But then how could I have such hilarious misadventures?
Hilarious, yes. Melanoma, no. *shakyfinger*
I applied and reapplied sunscreen! I don’t know what else I could have done, save not going outside at ALL.

This is sadly WITH the use of sunblock. More than one application, in fact. SPF 50.
Oh honey!!
Very ouchy image! Well, you now have ‘tan lines’ – of sorts.
🙂
I find that shaking my fist at the sun and threatening to become a child of the night helps to alleviate the discomfort.
I am going to go try that RIGHT NOW.
OUCH! been there, done that! it sucks! i’m still recovering from sunburns. yikes. (i’m just glad the weather has subsided and that it’s in the 70s all week. thank you, michigan weather!)

Yeah, I’m going to slather myself in both of those substances and subsist on popsicles for the next week, whining the whole time.
Ow…
I’ll loan you some of my olive skin for a bit if you want. I tan easily.
You’re a lucky lady. I’ve got casper-style translucent skin, I’m fairly certain you can see my organs through it.
EEK! *offers aloe*
I’m going to fill the tub with aloe and live there.
Apparently you are now HOT in every conceivable way.
Feel better soon.
Some complaining, some aloe, and it’ll be fine.
Thanks. 🙂
That is the cutest shade of red, ever.
It’s so much angrier in person. 🙁
I feel your painnnnnn!
I put on sunscreen twice (spf 30) and the result is posted on my journal. Crispy fried!
YOooooowch 🙁
You are much better at that than I am. I got burned yesterday too (also after putting on sunscreen), but as usual for me, the burn is in weird random splotchy patches on various parts of my body. Specifically, a spot on my lower neck and a giant splotch on the back of my right arm and left calf.

My legs are fine–except for the fire engine red patches on the backs of my calves. So I’ve got strange blobbies, too.
Ouchie! 🙁
Ouch Darling, I feel your pain. Being Bald and Celtic white myself I burn at least once a week at work. Never remember to but the Screen on.
Ooooouch, once or twice a year is too much for me. I can’t even fathom once a week!
Oh noez! I know how you feel. Last time I went out to the lake, I made very sure to apply and reapply with the coppertone spray super duper waterproof, sweatproof, bombproof SPF 1 million sunblock but managed to miss a tiny line right under my boobs on each side.

hahahahaha At least it’s an entertaining burn, right?
D’oh! Be sure to get that blue aloe vera goop with the anesthetic stuff in it.

That looks painful – I hope it has calmed down a bit now and has not started peeling!
Still painful but no peeling yet!
I loved that the next post down on my friends page was the definition of insanity being doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
I did do some things different this year. I went higher SPF AND reapplied. And still got the same result, but still…I DID try something different!
