I totally need a starter tiara.

I adore Be Curly, including how it smells. (Actually, THAT makes me miss having long hair, because I used to be able to pull my hair forward to my nose and smell it. Yeah, weird.) It's good stuff. Pantene also makes a curly hair styling creme product that works pretty well.

No, no tiggy, our first day of summer-y, solstice-y, cusp of Gemini/Cancer-y bday shall be joyous! (Not least because I'm taking the day off work)

heh. do you consider yourself a gemini or a cancer?

Mine's on Thursday (see how I've hardly mentioned it this year? see?!?), and I consider myself about 70-30 cancer-gemini. Because I have the Cancerian traits of being a homebody and being a big caretaker (particularly by feeding people) and being moody, overemotional, and clingy, and intuitive. I am a Cancer, therefore I nest. But I also have the Gemini traits of being swift with words, witty, intellectual, tense as hell, and needing to be the center of attention.

I was looking at short hair styles and I saw a before and after of a woman who got a buzz cut. I hate to say "when I'm thin", but when I'm thin --- well thinner--- I'm getting a buzz cut.

Somewhere, Hec just wibbled and he doesn't know why.

---

I'll (hopefully) be in San Francisco when I do this and Hec's already promised to take me to someone he knows.

Which reminds me I need to talk to my therapist about working on long term goals, such as moving to SF.

Pantene tends to not help my frizzies at all. this conversation is really making me want to chop off my hair. though i always threaten to do that and never follow through. i haven't had short, short hair since i was five.

you totally just described me. well...except for the caretaker and clingy parts.

It's true! You haven't! Well, at least, not since, um...Thursday? And not in Bitches? Dunno what you've been saying before that or elsewhere, seeing as how my reading has been rather curtailed lately. :)

See, I thought cutting my hair would make it easier. But no, not only was it a pain and I had to DO stuff to it every day, I also had LESS curl when it was shorter (especially when it was in the growing-out-inbetween stage--then it just waved weirdly, rather than actually curling)

I got to catching up and y'all talked racing without me...

Yeah, as if Formula 1 isn't having ENOUGH problems in America after the mess at Indy yesterday. Oy.

This. So very much this. I wonder if Bernie made his stupid ass Danica comment to draw attention away from the colossally stupid debacle at Indy. He is brilliant if a little too confident in his ability to control his entire world, like racing-obsessed Dr. Evil with a Warhol wig.

Pass the brain bleach?

Absolutely. Eccelstone is notorious for that kind of behavior.

And ChiKat sums up the Eccelstone is insane thing.

Blame Cass that I know and care. Bitch got me hooked.

But it's the good crack usually...

but 9 of the 10 teams are thinking about dropping out of F1 after the 2007 season and starting their own circuit. Tony George (head of IRL) is courting them to come to IRL.

Tony George is the master of the breakaway series. Ten years later and his is finally decent racing again.

Friend of mine is a big racing fan

meara, were I not coastally challenged, you'd be introducing me to this friend, right?

I can't believe that a racing series finally really makes the news and it is for being So Damn Stupid. t rolls eyes

Aveda's Be Curly has many fans around here.

I like ones that start the ingredients with propylene glycol--I have one cheapo one called "Curls Up"

I've been using Tigi's Catwalk 'Curls Rock' products.

Bumble and Bumble's Curl Conscious Creme is a good alternative if you don't like the smell of Be Curly. It also comes in thick or fine variations, which is nice.

t takes notes I really need something to control the frizz and allow the curl to be free but my hair is really rather thin or fine or something that makes it not thick.

meara, were I not coastally challenged, you'd be introducing me to this friend, right?

Heh. Well, in a "he'd love to talk racing" way, yes. But also in a "he's a big gay homo" way too. :)

---

Heh.

I was thinking as I typed that there was a great big question mark as to whether said friend was a boy or a girl. I figgered it didn't matter so much. And, frankly, if I can be that bi open-minded, why can't he?

I feel like a Blur flashbacky song.

pasta salad (it's what for dinner...)

The WBB's review of lisah's band rocks like a very cool rocking thing.

Wherefore can this be purchased? Because I have a band pin but I am lacking in cd.
