I am the fly who dreams of the spider

My hair has thinned considerably the past few years, so I've defaulted to my highschool habit of hats and bandanas. My favourite part is that I found these tube things that you can wear as a headband or a skull cap or whatnot, and our English facilities manager now declares makes me look like a Polish widow. I don't know why he thinks my non-existent husband has died, but whatevs. The very next day one of my volunteers told me he liked my "hat", and then asked me if I was Polish. Hmmm.

I digress. The slightly sparkly tube headdress with multiple permutations helped hide my hat hair when I'd come in from work outside in the winter, and now I'm using it to avoid showcasing my scalp. And it looks more styling than my short home-cut hair anyhow (I get one professional haircut a year, yo).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow, Jenna Elfman sure has some body!

I'm watching War of the Worlds, as one might be wont to do when surfing HBO on a Sunday morning, and I thought it was only going to be the first half that was comprised of Tom Cruise (is he playing a character? I forget) screaming for the kids to stay put or come to him. Yelling and screaming is not an acceptable way to maintain narrative tension. Good lord.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Julie, I've been wearing a lot of scarves and wide headbands. I wore a bandanna all through college, for some reason, too. I've still got enough hair on top, it's just in the front that it's gone. So I've been wearing an assortment of Buff headbands low on my forehead, and my sister hates it. She says I look like Mick Jagger. I like them, but I don't want to wear them ALL the time. And I can't wear hats to dinner.

Etiquette allows you to. It's only guys that are bound by the bareheaded rule (and by "bound" I mean "ignoring").

mmm. I would feel weird about it, though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Whoa, Scandal. Damn.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I now think, in addition to all the other things you don't think about them doing, that celebrities are never working with just their natural hair.

Cats were excellent pinners.

Found out neighbor has badly dinged kidney, on top of the broken back. She was t-boned by a speeder. Her car was only 6 months old, her first brand-new car ever. Sounds like it did a helluva job, considering. I am amazed she was home within 9 hours of being hit.

OK, time to do one productive thing today (unless you count being a good bed as productive?) and go swim.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I'm pretty impressed at how bad the Steelers' throwback uniforms are. [link]

I am also impressed at the balls of the FOX marketing department, which just described "Almost Human" as a "ground-breaking new series."

Your poor neighbor, sarameg. That sounds terrifying, and like the effects will be hitting her for quite a while.

how bad the Steelers' throwback uniforms are.

WOW!
