lisah, how do you afford your rock'n'roll lifestyle?

HA! um...

tech writing

(and, awww, Cake is a total My Life in SF in the 90s nostalgia band for me)

Non-golfer's hair for Beej

Cool cut

Spikier

Stylish

Sorta modern, sorta 30s

Bit of a retro 70s bob

(shaggier layers are going out. You can blame Karen O.)

I'd love to take off the sweaty hat, run my fingers upward and come away looking sassy. Is that even possible?

Product is Your Friend in this case.

I declare Juliana's hair to be hotter than Manteca astroturf and give a big thumbs up on the silver low-tops.

Seconded. How many do we need to open up Lightbulbs?

The British university discussion reminded me of one of my classes the first week of AP Literature and Composition. We'd had to read Oedipes Rex over the summer. After we got back, our teacher gave us this essay on it to read. It was written by a professor at Oxford, and was basically, "I have asked this same question of many upper-level Oxford students. Their responses can be divided into three categories. [explanation of each response] Here's why they're all wrong. And remember, these are upper-level Oxford students, who should be smarter than this, but apparently, they're not."

We had to read that for homework. The next day, our teacher asked us what we thought of the article. There were a few tentative "Well, he had an interesting point about ..." answers, and then finally, one girl said, "I thought he was a pretentious asshole." The teacher grinned and said, "Well, yes. In this article, he certainly was." Then we spent the rest of the class period discussing rhetorical devices, starting with straw man (for the article) and ad hominem (for the girl's response to it.)

Somewhere, I've still got a list of "Twelve Important Rhetorical Devices." We were supposed to try to make our writing more interesting by using at least one (and using it properly) in each paper we wrote.

Does your hair curl?

Razored out layered bob

Cute!

I've been pimping this cut for a while

Juliana-esque

Short shag - simple but pretty

Pretty - would work well with Beej's face

Cutting edge, baybee!

One of my electives was Bio 101. Irritating to me, since I'd chosen maths and the hard sciences at age 16, so why would I want to draw more dissection candidates. But if I hadn't fucked up Analysis of Algorithms the first time round, I'd have been out in three. One of my IB friends made it out (and hit her goal of 'Masters by 21'), and the other had the same deal as me--needing 3 years+1 course to get out.

Lovely!

I should mention that I have cowlicks from hell...which seem to migrate to various places on my head without notice.

I love this one ...a lot.

Bobs must be avoided at all costs, given the heaviness of my jawline, they make me look a bit bobbleheaded.

I love this one ...a lot.

I've had that one. Very fun, and recovers very nicely. (Again, though, product is Your Friend.)

(Again, though, product is Your Friend.)

Which product?

I tried Aveda's hair wax once with disastrous results.
