Staying in and playing with nail polish weather!
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yay for you, Theo! Yay for stubble dye! Yay for snow! Oops. Yay for nailpolish weather.
I did not love the OPI Nevermore. The duochrome looks better in the bottle than on my fingers. I know it's supposed to be all gothily black, but if I'm the only one who can tell there's sparkly color in it by peering closely at my hand, I think it's not achieving its purpose. Maybe it's just because it's been so overcast, but I am now tempted to try to layer the Obscure over it just to see what the matte looks like.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I wish. I have to go sing. Outside. By a stupid Christmas tree or something.

More for you flea.
Am I crazy to be considering getting a second tree in my little house when I am not even here for Xmas? I'm even considering an xmas party to justify it.
No. Forget it. You don't even have to answer that question.

More for you.
I already love the Obscure. Love love. This is my first matte, but I can tell I'm going to have to get more, or maybe just the matte topcoat. It'll be perfect for stage lighting when I want to keep a certain color instead of everything being the weird orange that's on me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am SO jealous of Scola. All I did today was drive to the OC and pick up a bunch of bedframes to be handed off from SiL to Cousin (by way of Aunt and Uncle who are stopping here on their way from LAX to Northern Cali). Took almost two hours to get home. Feh. Now, I am going to clean the catbox. Tonight, I am going to see The King's Speech, though, so the whole day is going uphill. Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush, Yowza!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Going uphill seems counterintuitive as a positive, since it's hard work.
The big guy in Bev Mo was singing along to "In Your Eyes" while he rang up my purchase. I might have fallen a little bit in love with him then.

I found the red much brighter and longer-lasting than MP
I think it also really depends on your hair--the one time I did MP red with a friend (bleaching first), his came out a couple weeks later by Thanksgiving, and he just had the bleachy streaks, whereas mine was still pretty bright red as of New Year's when I over-dyed it.
I also went to a craft fair today! And was variously tempted by some things, but in the end only bought food--some cookies and some goat cheese truffles. There were earrings I liked, but they were expensive.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If you can find it, the SPLAT! semiperm from Walgreen's is awesome. I found the red much brighter and longer-lasting than MP, and it doesn't have that patchouli smell Special FX does.
Ooh, good to know. Since SFX means a special trip to Ricky's, but Walgreens is right down the street from me.
OTOH, Ricky's does have the advantage of selling all the other hair dye supplies in bulk (lightener, developer, gloves, caps) so I'm not blowing $15 on a box of Born Blonde every time I need to bleach. (OTOOH, if Dylan ever decides he wants a streak of color, I'd rather take him to Walgreens, since Walgreens does not, as far as I know, sell sex toys in the same aisle as the hair products.)
