I have a problematic hairline! It comes to two little v's, like the bottom of a batwing, so there's always some confusing bit going on back there. They often do shave it, but then it grows out doofy and makes the back of my hair stick out. And I have two cowlicks, including one at the front which has led to years and years of awkward school photos with unbalanced or much too short bangs because of stylists frantically trying to compensate after they didn't notice. Which is probably why I've always hated bangs. This last cut was no different, even though I discussed it with the stylist beforehand. Which of course soured me on going back in anywhere, but I need to, because my hair is getting dangerously close to mullet territory, and while I will defend my sweet 80's boys and their hockey haircuts, it's not a style I intend to sport myself.

That's cool, though! That looks optimal when it's short but not shaved. So at about 3/4 of an inch and that would look very Batman.

Pete is crazy possessive of my hair, and gets very cranky if I mention ideas like bleaching out the roots on one side so I can start dying them pink. Thankfully, now that I know about human hair extensions with micro-ring attachments, I can have lots of pink streaks without him flipping out about possible damage.

Weirdo. I love him, but he's a weirdo.

Seska, congrats to you and The Girl! It sounds like it was a lovely day.

Now that I know The Girl's name, I'm going to add congratulations on acquiring your very own rose of Sharon. Yeah, I know, a beautiful Jewish woman named Sharon has never been called that before.

As for the events of the day: a big maybe on a possibly deliberate car crash by a truck on a main road in Tel Aviv, demonstrations that led to shooting by the IDF in the northern border and Gaza, another demonstration on the border with Egypt, demonstrations with violent clashes with the IDF/riots in East Jerusalem.

In other words: Nakba day [link]

Oh, goodness, Shir. May you and yours stay safe.

Seska! You're married! To The Girl! How awesome is that!? VERY.

I'm thinking safe thoughts of you, Shir.

Jilli do you know about these?

Yikes, Shir, stay safe!

Seska, I loved reading about your beautiful wedding day and can't wait to see the pictures!

Thanks - we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Shir, stay safe, and stay sane so that there is at least one small island of sanity in the region. Sigh. Humans, angels and demons at one and the same time, often in one and the same person.

On a totally different note, somebody tell me to mow the lawn. It needs to be done, and for some reason it has been rather consistently rainy on Daniel's days off, but now he's at work and it's sunny.
