Shir, I had hair that color for just about 5 years - I went back to black last week b/c I just don't have time to keep up a bright color anymore. But I highly recommend it (and the brand Special Effects)!

but I just know that somewhere along my first year in university I'd feel like a paper/books robot, and I'll have to dye my hair that color, to remind myself I still have some free will and personality. They may be mostly stored in my hair, but there are somewhere there.

A friend of mine who's a corporate lawyer once had a layer of bright pink dyed into the underside of her hair. She could put it in a rubber band, and it was completely invisible. Of course, when it was out, it was still pretty subtle.

Boat quiz was v. Fun, despite the cheating cheaters who cheat who scored our sheet. We came in third once we redid the math. Also, the quiz is run and half populated by Brit soccer players, so the answer I'm hearing for Alyson is that at the start of the tournament they draw for home team status.

I'll seriously look into it now that it's Jessica approved.

And yeah. Umm. The show I wanted to go to tonight? Sold out. Found it out at the entrance to the club.

Not to happy about it, but in fairly good mood all and all.

Health~ma and painless~ma to all those who may need it.

The Weekend So Far:

Matilda's second circus class this morning went very well. Emmett came with us and went very slightly bananas with loving all the circus equipment and desperately wanting to clamber all over it himself; I can already tell she's going to be heartbroken next Saturday when there's no Obbie to accompany her.

Also, we had bonus megan walker! She hung out with us before going to the museum, and cheered Matilda on and laughed herself silly at the class's enthusiastically inept version of the Hokey Pokey.

She's off at the museum now and Matilda is collapsed on the couch, fast asleep, while Hec and Emmett watch Matilda. In an hour and change we'll go to a daycare classmate's birthday party, which hopefully will lead to more tiredness and collapsing.

And I even wrote this morning! Only 400 words and change, but it was genuine by-God writing.

Best Saturday Ever, so far (knock wood).

Shir, you definitely ought to do Jessica's old hair color. It looks fabulous, and it somehow seems exactly right that we should always have at least one Buffista in Special Effects.

Here's where I found some noteworthy covers -- not all the scans are high quality, but some of them are choice (also a lot of eh stuff):

Pancakes and strawberries with Blue Mountain coffee. Good, if late, breakfast.

Nice selection, Theo!

And different from The Pulp Gallery.

I'm trying to gather up enough umph to put on outside pants for a second time today and then actually go outside.

Dunno if that's going to happen though.

I'm impressed you had the energy to take your inside pants off already.

Should I go out and get the rest of the ingredients for chicken tikka masala? I need garam masala, ginger and fresh cilantro.
