sara, you just totally won the random contest.
The ridiculous part is that it is relevent and pertinent to my day today. I've a very strange skillset. Or rather, lack of a skill in a strange skillset. Or something.
This morning I dreamed I was (sort of, it would go back and forth between movie and and it being me) one of two of Coach Taylor's daughters and had to live in a warehouse on the old Superfund pier and eat asphalt.
I think it's better if I don't tell people my dreams.
I've decided that since it is going to be nasty cold and stupid snowing this weekend and I have to make cookies for work anyway, I'm gonna attempt a cookopalooza using my oven this weekend this weekend. It may just mean cookies and this chicken and pig thing but what they heck. Ambitions.
I just got my supplies for my sister's wedding gift delivered (only have one of the gold cords on backorder), so I can get started on it this weekend. Must pull out all of my crafting supplies and see if I can find stretcher bars to hold the fabric while I stitch it up. Oh, and make sure I've got a lint brush to run over it occasionally and get all the black cat hair off of it.
I know Amarna's going to be exceedingly curious about what I'm doing--it's my first crafting thing since I got her three years ago. I didn't paint any Xmas ornaments last year because I know damn well she'd either brush up against the drying paint or play "let's toss this overboard!" with the glass ornament.
heh.
When someone who knows I'm a Jew wishes me a happy easter, I'm just going to say, "you're welcome."
Like right now!
I keep forgetting it's Easter this weekend. I mean, I should remember, because the big local con always happens on Easter weekend, not to mention my Very Wiccan PseudoBrother is always out of town this weekend for Spring Mysteries. But no, when people ask me if I have special Easter plans, I blink a lot, then say something like "Oh right, Easter. Um, eat chocolate bunnies who were obviously bad minions?"
So, who is excited about Grindhouse?
Eh, I'll wait for DVD.
Ok, so maybe I'll be doing the cooking on Sunday, because if I remember correctly, just about everything shutters on easter (despite that I live in the jewish part of town. ) Which I forgot about until now.
Oh, right. I probably should put a sticky note on the door to remind me not to attempt clothes shopping on Sunday.
I am not a good Christian this season, because my big joy about Easter is that I can get off of my Lent restrictions. Self-imposed, mind you, but man my head was not in the right space this Lent. I just complained the whole time. Anyway, since the SO is going to be gone next week, I am totally walking down the street to the new Grumpy Jake's BBQ place. With a name like that (and their sign is just a pink board with a cutout of a pig), they've gotta be great, right?
What else?
Oh, Morning After Hair Report! Still loving it. I woke up fuzzy headed and went to scratch the back of my neck and was all, hey, haircut! Washed and styled it this morning. I was a little concerned because the stylist did so much work with it that I wasn't sure I'd be able to replicate it. But it's such a good cut it ended up being really simple.
I decided to see if I could do it without dryer & flatiron. So I just used the product & applied it just to the roots in the back like she showed me, to get body and shape there without too much effort. Then I pieced out the bits that frame my face and worked with those. Had a little bit of trouble figuring out where the part should be (it's on the other side of my face now) and with getting some of the pieces to be swoopy-inny instead of flippy-outy.
The product is really odd. It's evidently made primarily out of asparagus. I dunno. But it's this funky gel/waxy texture when you scoop it out of the jar, and you have to work it with your fingers to get it warm and pliable. Which I didn't believe at first, it was just sticky, but then all of a sudden it changed textures and was slippery and smooth. It works nicely with my hair. Usually my hair is so stubborn that any product strong enough to hold it looks stiff and unnatural or shows residue. But this is nice and light, but still holds well. I need to work out the right amounts, but I like it so far.
Anyway, I spent a lot of time this morning messing with it, but normal process should just be wash, towel dry, brush, apply product & shape.
Liese, what's the name of the product? I am always looking for texturizer.
I hope more than just me & Jesse watched 30 ROck last night with Will Arnett. It was pretty nonstop hysterical.
