Lilty, I'd say that it's no big deal at your age to move back in and save some money before you make a bigger leap to Somerville. It sounds like a good opportunity for you. Take advantage of it.

Not only that, but you can use it as a home base for both job and apartment hunting when you do make the move. Not exactly convenient to Somerville, but easier than paying full rent and doing so, or taking the plunge and hoping for the best.

I was flipping channels one day and paused on "Ambush Makeover", just in time to see one ambushee give the hostess what-for for telling her she needed a makeover. The hostess sneered after the victim roared off in her car, but it pleased me to see the rejection.

Hey, Hecubus, Mom says thanks for clearing up our funky confusion.

Technically, according to the Temptations, that would be a Ball of Confusion.

Ah, me, when I see a subject heading that says "Acolytes--History", my mind should not immediately go to a D/s kind of place.

Some of the tell-offs are GREAT. "what's this look you have going on here?" "I have no idea, but you aren't touching it."

Now they're giving a strawberry blonde with wavy hair to the middle of her back a copper bob. I'm going to hurl.

On Live Like a Star earlier today I actually heard a makeup artist say "She has beautiful skin, we'll skip the foundation." And the girl had FRECKLES (really cute ones on her nose). I imagine he was taken out back and shot.

bwah, and wrod. Trudy, God, they really cut Kay Howard hair?! If my hair would do that, I'd never cut it. (Don't worry, Hec, it won't. Too fine and not the right color.) Stupid makeover people. My hair likes life better short.

Not only that, but you can use it as a home base for both job and apartment hunting when you do make the move.

This is true. Also, I have a friend (the same one who is bringing me to Europe) who just moved to a two bedroom in Somerville with her BF. She said that if I ever want to crash there when it's time to job hunt, she'd be happy to let me.

I seem to be in this strange little interlude in my life when everyone in it keeps showing me how incredible they are and how lucky I am to have them. (Y'all included.)

Aw, Lilty. t big happy hug

makeover update: they didn't chop it as badly as they threatened. they gave her coppery joyce summers hair. it would have been neat to see her lovely hippy hair done well. it had a couple of dramatic grey streaks in it and a couple of darker ones as well.

This is awesome.

ION: I've been listening to random Christian CD's given me by a former co-worker, who said they were given him by some friend and he didn't want them. Two things:

1) Several "Burlap to Cashmere" songs sound eerily reminiscent of "Tenacious D" - not lyrically of course, but something in the sound. Very weird crossover in my head.

2) It only just occurred to me that the "friend" probably stole the CD's (either just the case or the whole car) - former co-worker is Vietnamese (and sort of has that "vibe" about him) and the only gangs on my end of town are Asian. I'm feeling a little guilty and really wishing I could figure out ownership to return them. Must closely examine the "homemade" discs for clues.

........aaaaand I'm done.

Except for the fact I have massive amounts of work left to do before the official last day on the 23rd. But no more teaching at WHS, ever.

I'm guessing the 23rd will be more cathartic.
