Aveda: I get the pomade that is in the blue bottle and is CLEAR. The other shit fucks up my hair. In case that is helpful to anyone.

Len, that's what I just said! With 17x more words, but still.

Allyson, ignoring you.

Just lost power a couple times there. TiVo isn't happy about it. But I have to say, in general, they did a good job with that software, because it lets you bounce power without doing much more than losing your place in what you were watching, and stopping what was recording. I haven't had any data corruption as a result. Even though a couple times I've mistakenly turned off the external drives first. Oops.

I have been using some Lush products on my hair that might work for you.

Maybe, but... everything I've gotten from Lush has had a very strong smell, and after a while I just can't stand it. Like, right now, there's a new bar of Dove soap in the bathroom, 50 feet away, and I'm about to go throw it out a window because the smell is so annoying. I have the same problem with Aveda.

brush hair - then shower scrunch dry and ignore .

If "ignore" includes "putting clothes on over my head" or "moving around without hair in bun" it's gonna frizz. Of course, with hair in bun, it'll take hours to dry.

Really, I don't stress about that so much, though. I'm much more stressy about how much it thinned out over the last few years I lived in New Jersey. It's grown back a little, but not enough to make me happy.

This conversation reminds me that I have no place to complain, but damn I miss my old hair. Nowadays it needs a heavy dose of product and/or time to look shiny and frizz free. I want to buy some hot rollers and try that, see if they help, but I suspect most mornings I won't have time to use them.

Let it be known that on this very day, I successfully rickrolled ita.

OMG, so much loving you, Allyson! You are on fire today.

Let it be known that on this very day, I successfully rickrolled ita. Safari wants rickroll to be two words. I disagree.

That was AWESOME. A best friends’ necklace rickroll?!? Awesome.

I love Aveda's control paste. But I also have some B&B shampoo that I adore. I've been looking for B&B's dry shampoo but haven't found any.

I have felt human for the first time in over a week. Spent a week in misery until I finally went into Urgent Care and got diagnosed with strep and got my magical antibiotics.

I also like Darryl.

Greetings from Barcelona! Where not much is open on Sunday night, so we had crepes at a Breton place.

Now it is morning and we are off to see the Sagrada Familia. Woot!

Sagrada Familia is phenomenal. I've never seen anything else quite like it (even the other Gaudi architecture). If you get a chance and want something different, check out the Poble Espanyol de Montjuic too.

Greetings from Barcelona!

Woo-hoo! Buffistas all having fun in Spain making me want to go to Spain, which has never been on my must-visit list before.

Now it is morning and we are off to see the Sagrada Familia. Woot!
