So I actually tried to put some effort into my hairdo today, after crawling into work post-three hours sleep yesterday looking like something off the side of the road. This involved me setting my alarm for 5:10 instead of 5:40, drowsing on myself until about 5:25, running into the bathroom for my ablutions, then attacking my mop with the curling iron until 6: 20. It was not pretty. It was also almost for naught, because all the curls I managed to add ended up deserting me once I ran the comb through my hair. I was going for an out-do instead of my usual ponytail (in an attempt to slow my hair loss; my temples, they are awful), but I ended up sticking with a loose ponytail anyway, once I took the curling iron to my hair again.
I think things didn't end up that bad. Got the usual compliments for my hair being in anything but a pulled back to the nape ponytail. One of those was "oh, you look pretty today." Because I'm crotchety I decided to ask if I didn't look pretty on other days. Which, I don't. I generally look like warmed-up ass. But the person in question didn't know me well enough to call my bluff. That was my one bit of amusement during an otherwise overly taxing workday.
I've been fighting the blahs recently, and in an attempt to avoid the usually overloading on carbs I've found myself buying lots of crap. I made a stop by Jim Hanley's Universe Saturday (thank GOD my comic collecting days are basically over, because I'd most likely send myself into bankruptcy), where I picked up 3 & 4 of Runaways, more recent compilations of Powers, and a hardback copy of The New Avengers. Then today I went to Best Buy, where I picked up Thor, Dylan Dog, and season 2 of Community. I'm on vacation in a week and a half, so I'm hoping to actually make my way through all of those then.
Randomly - the next movie I'm looking forward to this fall? 50/50. Partially because of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, mostly because it's something that I find most gripping and heartrending when I found in my patient population.

cbackson won all sorts of internet brownie points from me when she posted an EPIC POST OF BAD PROFIC SNARK on an actual trufax book titled Stranded With a Cajun Werewolf. Really. No, REALLY. Follow that link and just take a look at that cover, y'all. And because she is amazing and full of warm fuzzies when it comes to spreading brainpain, she's been kind enough to announce her next bad romance profic selection in advance so other folks can join in the snark as well. I've downloaded my copy of Awaken the Highland Warrior (fo. SERIOUS) already, and I highly suggest y'all on my FL join in the fun as well. I will post a link to cbackson's LJ post when she puts her review up.
