Critic’s corner
Two reviews: one of a play, one of a product.
Uncle Vanya, California Shakespeare Theater
I saw the outdoor matinee on a sunny Saturday afternoon. My right eye thoroughly enjoyed it. My left eye was largely, shall we say, indisposed.
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock, SPF 55
This sunblock provides broad-spectrum protection against ultraviolet rays, and it goes on dry, without any greasy residue. However, the package’s warning to “avoid contact with eyes” should be printed in much larger type. Alternatively, each tube should be packaged with a sharp fork, so that any unfortunates who get this sunblock in their eye can give expression to their physical anguish by gouging out the burning, severely reddened organ.

There are these things called sunglasses that make it so that you don't have to have to put sunblock on your eyeballs. You should check them out.
I've been trying to use the mineral sunblocks recommended by EWG so that I don't get cancer and die, but I hate the way they feel, so I am sticking with the Dry Touch stuff. Apparently when forced to choose between future cancer and current sliminess, I am all about living in the now.

I can't stand mineral sunblocks. They make me smell like I'm rusting.

Try the TruKid one. Then you will smell fruity
