Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I tried to take Econ as an elective, but it was a late-afternoon class in the spring semester, which meant I had to leave my apartment to cross campus in the dark and cold. Then the teacher was terrible. So I dropped it.

I really should not eat soup at my desk. I totally spilled it everywhere, including on my dress! And then trying to clean it off with a napkin means napkin shreds everywhere. The worst/

I have a couple of mormon students who regularly talk about the terrible awfulness of coffee beverages. Ironically, they try to harass the teacher who is also an evangelical Christian. They all argue amongst themselves and, from the outside, it looks like the engagement of irrational religion-based rules.

Heh.

Though I suppose I can thank them for the actually tasty coffee substitutes I use when I'm off the coffee. (I try to do a few weeks here and there.)

You guys, I have to record this somewhere: My hair looks amazing. I've been meaning to get it cut for a month, but it gets better and better! I guess I'd been wearing it too short.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Good for you!

My hair is pretty rockin' right now too. I FINALLY found a local stylist who knows her shit. Predictably, it was in the most questionable looking salon on the mountain. It's like a shed, honest, with sliding glass doors. And giant handpainted signs that say things like MEN'S $10. She's a Navajo lady who has been cutting hair here for 22 years. She was fifteen minutes late to my appointment, and while she was there her sister was about a half an hour late to hers. But she listened closely to what I said, looked at all my reference material, asked questions about what she didn't understand, and gave me a great cut.

Can I ask for a bit of ~ma for my good friend, L. She is having thyroid surgery today to remove some cancerous tumors. I'm having a horrible time concentrating on work as I keep thinking about her.

Best wishes to L.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The merits of longer hair aren't purely propaganda. And it takes longer to see them... its not the same sort of instant gratification as you get with a chop or color.

Hec, if he becomes a baseball star, Emmett has to introduce me to KO.(And then, I can waste Bitches 8,000 posting how I'm such an idiot and spent the whole meeting like a Chris Farley fanboy all "Remember Countdown? That was AWESOME!", but still, still want to shake the man's hand.)
