two points of happy

Happy meme day #4

One, new Doctor Who today. It's downloading now, no idea how long it's going to take but at some point tonight I'll be able to watch it (at the moment it's saying something like 40hrs to dl, but I'm confident it will pick up soon).

Two, I finally got up the courage to get my hair colored at the salon. It's a lovely reddish brown now, darker than my natural color but really pretty. It was a little bit of an overwhelming experience at first, because I really didn't know how to choose the right color, and almost made a monumental mistake by going with a color that would have looked very artificial (nothing wrong with that except it's not what I want). Thanks to a very patient consultation with my stylist and two other people at the salon (one of whom I suspect was the manager) we were able to figure out exactly what I really wanted. It's a much richer color, and all the grey is gone, yay!

Hurray for you for braving the professional hair color job! I've had a box of the at-home stuff in my bathroom cabinet for most of the time I've lived in this house and I can't even bring myself to do that.

Well, it's a big step. And because I went darker than my natural color, I'll have to get the roots done every six weeks or so. Which is a lot more maintenance than I like, but I'll try it for a couple of months and see how it goes. And if I end up having roots, well, then I'll be like millions of other people on the planet who dye their hair once and then let it grow out. :)

OK, where do you get your Doctor Who? I can't find it anywhere.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

I go to www.mininova.org and do a search for doctor who. You need a torrent client, but they have links there to download utorrent, which works pretty well for me.

Good luck. :)

I am giving it a try. I'll let you know if I am successful. Thanks for the help.

Oh, I tried taking a couple of self-portraits yesterday, but my hair was all windblown from the walk home, which doesn't work well when the hair has been professionally styled, with products. So I'll try again once it's looking like it will look on a daily basis. :)
