yesterday was a mellow day...
on the way home, i stopped by trader joe's, popped into [livejournal.com profile] spud's work for a few, and then went to osco to see what i can find for my hair.
i walked out with $30 worth of stuff... and then spent over a half hour playing with some of it.
the results:
first, i realized the biggest issue with this cut is that the top is too long to be properly manageable. within the next two weeks, i get to decide if i want it trimmed more, or if i should just wait until it grows to the next level.
second, was that i can't seem to get the hair to a good point without being frustrated for about a half hour. that has got to change.
[livejournal.com profile] sol3 came over, and i asked him to take some pictures of what i ended up with... so of course the camera batteries start dying. two pictures that he did manage to take:








later on in the night, i found that what i seemed to feel most comfortable with is having most of the top hair clipped back, so whenever i have time, i'm going to look for clips that are more likely to stay put then the ones i got.
[livejournal.com profile] sol3 and i had dinner and then retired to my room to work on stuff; workwork for him and school reading for me. i finished reading their eyes were watching god, and it'd prolly do me good to look up some reviews and jot down notes before meeting with my presentation-buddies on the 11th.
i then futzed online for a bit and went to sleep while [livejournal.com profile] sol3 was still clicking away, but i still got to curl up to him : )

tonight's yoga - anyone wanna come with?

after yoga, there'll be a house meeting, and after that, in theory, i should clean. in practice, i'll prolly be itching to see a movie i haven't seen yet, because when i watch tv, i pick things that aren't full-attention-span commitments so that i have more of a chance of pulling myself away and doing something productive - but i do have all day tomorrow to clean, and i have no homework i need to be doing (*bounce*) so i should have time to actually watch something interesting. (of course, i could start on the reading for 18th, but that'd be too smart, right?)

What did you think of Their Eyes Were Watching God I just loved it.

I think your hair looks cute, but actually I like it both ways. I think it comes down to what feels more comfortable to you-- I know for me, that's always longer vs. shorter.

I really liked the book; I'm doing the oral presentation on it because i'd heard rave reviews about it in the past, so i was fairly sure i'd end up liking it : )
I found it very interesting to see how sugar-coated or vague race relations were in the book, and now want to check the publication dates on other books i've read that are a bit more blunt/honest/straightforward.

& thank you : )
i know i'm more comfortable with long hair (hell, the idea of being in a well-lit, open space makes me a little anxious & aware of the lack of hair), but i think this was more about taking the plunge and pushing myself into an extended period of changes. i'm definately looking forward to when my hair goes past my shoulders again.

it looks really nice. Not that it matters, but I've always been kinda back and forth on the length issue no matter who's head it is. It definately suits you.

I LOVE IT!!!!!

It looks great! Really! As for cutting it more on top. Definitely give it a little time/practice/exploration the way it is now. It's def a whole different ball game when you go from long to short. It's a little difficult at first, but then you/your hair gets used to it and things fall into place.

I like it; I like the wipsyness of the bangs, esp.

Wow!

I agree- great cut!

I think it makes you look quite Audry Hepburn, actually. =)
