My bangs are basically grown out and I miss them
Me too! I was just looking at that picture of you with your Bettie Page bangs.
Sox, you could totes rock the pixie. You've got the features for it.

Coding and Sleeping
The very simple plumbing fix of early this morning turning into the massive fail that is resulting in words like 'broken flange' and 'cast iron junction' and 'best case scenario' being bandied about my bathroom being a case in point.
Ugh. This is the reason I fucking hate plumbing problems, it seems like always domino and connections will leak if they aren't tight enough, but they will leak if they are too tight.
We just replaced a dishwasher and while taking out the old one I discovered the hot water feed valve was busted and wouldn't turn off all the way. Okay, I tried to shut off the cold water feed to the hot water heater, no go, that valve is jammed (I have an 18 inch pipe wrench so I can turn that SOB, but it would probably create an even bigger problem if I did that). Still, no big deal, I can turn off the main valve. The handle on that broke off in my hand, but it wouldn't have matter because that valve was broken too.
Er.. in other words, lots of plumbing~ma.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
don't tempt me.
Have you seen me? That is not hyperbole.

Thanks, Tom. That Upton site is a mess. However, I have a new strainer on its way to me.

You look awesome with the super-short cut. Also, I'm glad you got meds yesterday.
Thanks Gud.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I bought my super awesome woodstove-top kettle from Upton. I really need to buy a tea strainer. I think it would make me more likely to make the green tea I really like. I love doing it because I have my grandmother's beautiful tea set. But Japanese green tea has a very thin line between steeped enough and omgbitter! If I had a strainer, I could pull it out at the pivotal moment and thus be happier. Because it's only me drinking the whole pot, anyway, so...
I, as is classic for me, am growing my hair out for summer. I know. But I am.

Because books.
I'm growing my hair out, back to a chin-length bob, and I can tell it's going to be a long, ugly process. I may give up at some point soon.

There's always product and barrettes.

Product is awesome. I love my pixie-ish cut (which is silver-grey), but it looks much better with product than without. Without, I look like I have dog-fur on my head. It's weird.
ION, I ordered a breakfast burrito, which was to be delivered before I got to the office. Is it here yet? No. It's 9:30 and I have NOT HAD MY BURRITO.
And I don't even know who to yell at, because it was a couple of guys doing a fundraising project. Argh!
I suppose I could eat the Thin Mints in my desk, but I really want my burrito.
