Now fellas, what's cooler than being cool?
I'm feeling mostly better today. Thank you for supporting me and my urinary tract health.
Went home at eleven yesterday to nurse my UT back to Not Painful Land in the only way I know how. By taking cranberry pills, watching PBS and cleaning the apartment in preparation for the party Tiny Roomate and I are throwing tonight.
SOME THINGS THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY: A list.
1: I skipped the review session for my math class because I hadn't done the review sheets. I knocked my logarithms homework out in the morning at work, but the review sheets were cast off in favor of watching 'In Between The Lions', which is the greatest childrens show on television.
My final is on Tuesday.
2: I, um, redyed my hair. Its...
really, really blonde. Kind of space alien freaky blonde. Kind of not what I was going for. I've been getting compliments from scientists, but I worry that they're just following the "Compliment any hair changes" corporate rule. Tiny Roomate doesn't think it looks bad enough to skip work, which means it's not too terrible, because her standards are wildly high. I'm putting the final consulting decision in Cake's hands, oddly enough. He's the only one I can trust to say "Man, that looks like shit." should it, in reality, look like shit.
3: Liquor store, you are always staffed with nuts.
I bought 2 jumbo plastic jugs of booze. One of the nutso employees burst out in a made up song about how everybody was having parties that weekend, but not inviting liquor store employees. Old man liquor store made a crack about never bathing, which I don't think was true, but he had the wildest beard ever.
4: and dammit, everybody MUST be having parties this weekend, because when TR and I went to the grocer to pick up mixers and party foods, everything was well stocked except Tonic, Coke, limes, and plastic cups. Those items required that I stand on the cart to reach the back of the shelf. Also? No medium hot salsa. It makes me feel better that everyone else is also throwing their parties all chips and salsa and a bowl of M&M's style. Why yes, my bottle blonde head and I *would* like some chee-tohs.
5: An illuminating moment at the Mister Lucky/Tiny Roomate household:
Mister Lucky is picking records to play at the party tomorrow. Tiny Roomate is deciding whether to go to this DJ thing a guy she knows is playing at.
ML: "I can understand the appeal in being a DJ."
TR: "Totally. Girls want you. They're probably hot because they dance a lot. You get into clubs for free. You know about all the good parties...."
ML: "Um. I meant it would be appealing because you got to pick out records to play."
TR: "Oh. ..yeah, I guess that'd be alright."
So there now. You're invited to our party, Internet, so long as you don't get so drunk that I have to quarantine you in the water heater closet. I may already have one such problem on my hands in the form of a pastry we all know and care for. Oh Cake, please run around the block 20 or 30 times so you'll be too tired to get 'Bump Into Everything and Sing' drunk. I need you to feel good enough in the morning to help me move the furniture back.
Happy Birthday Fat Boy! Lets get ready to Look So Good!

Posted by: logan at December 12, 2003 10:04 AMaccording to a forward my granddad sent me, regular alka seltzer will help UTI. something to do with the Ph.
Posted by: sue at December 12, 2003 10:49 AMI've also heard this. You'll want to use it the NORMAL way.
Trust me.

Posted by: Gin at December 12, 2003 11:11 AMYay, Birthday! I am lookin' SO GOOD. Plus, I think your hair also looks SO GOOD. I dig it.
As for being a DJ, it's true. My current DJ of choice might be coming to your party tonight ... unless, of course, he has to work at the Evil Empire (tm) until four in the morning like he did a couple of days ago. Serious Sucksicle.
Reasons Being A DJ Is Appealing:
a of all) Picking records
b of all) Feeling of power when masses of people dance to what you are playing
c of all) Knowing about all the good parties
d of all) Being a white boy who can dance
e of all) Being a white boy who dresses well
f of all) Lots of access to fun substances.... I would imagine.
Of course, this is a rather specific list. Y'know.
Posted by: freesia at December 12, 2003 01:27 PMthe colour of the hair looks fine, the style is hard to determine... so I give it a thumbs up, in the guess that the cut is equal to the quality of the colour.
Posted by: fire at December 13, 2003 05:41 AMChrist Sonya give me a break. Everybody knows that there is no drunk more professional than I. There is a certain decorum I must maintain at all times when I am schnockered, you should know that. Now get with the program, give me a fawkin' break, and while you are in there could you grab me another beer?
Posted by: Cake at December 15, 2003 06:40 AMThat blonde is really light! But it looks cute.
If you want to cut some of the yellow, go to Hot Topic or similar and buy the clear lavendar gel (by Punky Colours or Russell something - I forget). It covers the yellow with purple and ends up looking white.
I think the color is called Snow...?
P.S. It makes your hair quite lavender when it's wet so don't worry - just dry it.
