charloween: (Having a bad day...)
[personal profile] charloween
1. It's been a year since I cut 24" of my hair and donated it. I love not having fucking Rapunzel hair anymore, not having to have the same conversation over and over about how my hair is (good for you!) long, not having constant tangles, being able to blow-dry my hair if I need to, not having to arrange my hair while doing up my jeans lest the end of my braid get caught in my zipper.... It's been great. I don't know why I hesitated so long to get it cut - especially when the only reasons people could give me for keeping it was, "It's pretty." Yeah, well those people didn't have to care for it. The way it is now, it's a dream to manage.

2. Pushing Daisies is consistently good. Way to go, Fuller. (Though, we'll see in a few weeks with that "crossover episode", now won't we.) It's nice to see a show that's not afraid to be silly and maintain a strong series narrative.

3. Spoke to a non-asshat at Visa, now have a process to recoup my costs for the Sterling collapse. I may have to hang out with my mother's cousin the university librarian if I'm stuck in the UK for a week. (A week in Cambridge? There are worse places to be stuck.) I so need a secretary to deal with this stuff so I can get on with the business of prepping for the conference, not worrying about how I'm going to get home from it.

4. There's a dude walking around the computer lab wearing a hockey mask. Yeah, buddy. Halloween's tomorrow, but full marks for effort.

Your subliminal messages are alarmingly effective.

I don't think you can get much more liminal than a subject line. :D

It's official: in 2x08 we shall see a Wonderfalls crossover moment. [livejournal.com profile] serrico and I were speculating (http://serrico.livejournal.com/520256.html?thread=2688576#t2688576).

You know, I saw one episode of Pushing Daisies (with incredibly bad reception) and I just didn't like it as much w/ the new chick. I dunno. Maybe it was the bad reception that ruined it. Either way, I was very upset.

And I know all about airline tickets disappearing from under you when the airline has to go and get all bankrupted. Luckily, everyone was pretty agreeable and I was able to receive my refund without any particular big hoops to jump through. Bona Fortuna with that, dear.

Which new chick? The cast hasn't changed. It must've been really bad reception...

If Air Transat (still solvent!) won't let me come home sooner, I might, you know, hang out in London for a week. Or go to Paris. I don't have the money, but when's the next time I'll suddenly find myself with a few free days to head to Paris?

1) Ouch on the hair getting stuck on your zipper....an excellent visual imagination of you stumbling in circles with hair stuck to your crotch.

4) was the guy in ski mask also wearing a white jumpsuit accompanied with a fake machete?

Yes, you're welcome. The worst was sitting on a couch and realizing I was sitting on my hair, and only realizing this when I went to scoot forward and had my head snapped back because I WAS TRAPPED.

And no, just the ski mask.

I've got to thank you again for taking those pictures for me. I'm so very glad to have a record of it all. Many, many thanks!

Ouch, that is going to be a nasty whip lash.

No problem, and any time.

I remember that when I had long hair (not nearly as long as yours!) I'd get tangles at the place just below the base of my neck. Drove me nuts. And now I'm growing it out again why...?

Because bothering to get hair cut is hours of your life that you never get back. Hours that you could spend, like, detangling your hair. Waitaminute. *grabs phone book, looks for a salon*
