Somebody’s Sick, But Love’s To Blame

Weekend was very good.  More on that later, but I wanted to make a note of this goodness.
Also, I went to Canada and brought back a cold.  I can’t breathe through my nose.   Canadian cold viruses may possibly be more resistant than American cold viruses, because I popped a Sudafed two hours ago and my [...]

One, Deux, Tres

One– the hair.

I really like my hair, now that its evened out.  My hair is typically in three lengths– bob, shoulder length, and super long.  Obviously, its bob time.
Deux– the movie.
I loved the The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.  It was beautiful, heartbreaking, and fantastic.  It definitely wasn’t an upper, but still had joy its [...]

Uneven Hair and Tomatoes In Your Salad

I think my interview went pretty well yesterday.  It wasn’t one of those interviews where I felt like the interviewer and I were pals by the end, but it wasn’t one of those cold, stick-the-facts, don’t-crack-a-smile ones either.  It was in-between, which is the hardest to figure out what they thought of me.
I got my [...]

Attention, World

I have finally found a pair of heels that I can confidently walk in, with no pain, and without falling on my face.  Funny enough, these wonder shoes belong to my mother, whom is usually as anti-heels as I am.
Basically, world, I’m afraid that since all signs in the shoeiverse are falling in line, that [...]

Rock That Pink Hair

I wish I was as cool as Amelia Robbins when I was twelve.
With her mother’s permission, she dyed her hair pink, as a tribute to her dad, who died of cancer.  She had streaks in the previous school year, but went for all over pink during the summer.  Her Missouri middle school warned her not [...]

The verdict:  No camera (for now).  I used the money to buy new clothes for my interview on Wednesday.
I’m becoming practical.  God save me.

Contemplation

I’m thinking about buying this little beauty:

In typical me-fashion, I’ve been rolling this possible purchase around in my brain for weeks.  I’m not an impulse shopper, especially on anything over $50.  I’ve even made a pro/con list.
Pro:  Much better than the camera I currently using.
Con:  Should save the money as I’m currently unemployed.
Pro:  Would be [...]

Sign Your Yearbook If You Sign Mine

When insomnia hits, the Internet answers.  In this case its in the form of Yearbook Yourself.

1962

1974

1980
These are almost carbon copies of my mother from those respective years.  Especially the middle picture.  Its a little scary.  All I can hope is that the circle of life continues, and that my future children will see their face [...]

A Thursday List

Just finished watching Heathers, which great movie of course, but what happened to Christian Slater?  He fell off the face of Hollywood.
As if dealing with flood waters wasn’t enough, alligators are evacuating the swamps in Florida thanks to Tropical Storm Fay.  The last thing anyone needs is to run into a misplaced gator.  Good luck [...]

Walk Through the Woods

I’ve been going on walks on the local bike trail in the evenings.  At first it was just one day, then I went back the next, and then the next.  Its a good way to clear my head of things that get under my skin.  Bikers and old people always say hello when they pass, [...]
