Yay for boosters! Go invincibility! Well, or at least as close as we can get.
Happy Indigenous People’s’ Day!

We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Punishingly Intricate
Oof, msbelle. I'm glad it sounds like your friend's emergency has passed but that's rough.
I'm home from a week in CA and I guess I have to start job searching for real now?? I had stress dreams about it last night. (I'm sorry I couldn't see everyone while I was out there, btw! I'll just have to come out again soon.)

I do not have today off and only am bitter because all my colleagues in other countries seem to have the day off! (In reality it’s mostly just Spain has two days off, and some of the other folk are on vacation, but it FEELS that it’s everyone)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gary and I have today off, and we were hoping to have a little time to ourselves while Mr. S was at school. Alas, the behavior issues mean he’s home until a plan is formed. Sigh…

I’ve had my hair dyed pink for about a month now, am getting some compliments and some “oh wow you dyed your hair” which I generally interpret as…not a compliment ;) But had an amusing moment this weekend of having someone walk up to me in the airport who I’d chatted with at the conference, and she was like “yeah I saw your hair from far away and was like I know her!” And for some reason that part is entertaining me. Still not sure what to do with the hair (right now it’s very straw like still, despite attempts at olaplex and deep conditioner) and if I want to keep it pink for a while vs go a different color (I’m thinking light purple).
Which also brings up something I was thinking of the other day—why do we have a specific word for “light red” (pink) and of “light black” (gray) maybe, but not any of the other colors? I mean yeah, I could say “robins egg” or something but I could also say “light (whatever color)”?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is a good question!
I feel like it's going to be related to how "wine-dark sea" is from how they thought of dark colors to be more similar than different levels of the same hue, but I'm not sure why I think that! [link]

I don't remember where exactly I was, although it was not the Mediterranean, but I have looked out at the ocean and thought "ah, yes, that is a wine-dark sea" so I have my doubts about all those ancient-people-thought-about-color-differently whatsits. I mean, experts in the subject know more than me, of course, but still.
Didn't Crayola have a "light red" crayon that was different from pink? Possibly I am remembering off-brand crayons.
And didn't pink come from a flower first and then get applied to the color? I wonder how it became so widespread.
