Blather, bullet-point style

Yesterday:

*Got my hair cut. It was a very weird cut which required a certain amount of fixing when I got home - for the first time in twenty years (the last time ended in disaster) I took a scissors to my own hair. Just a little bit of snipping brought things under control though.

*Also got my hair colored. This was not part of the plan, but the fact that Supercuts does coloring for cheap convinced me. The color came out really nice, much better than the cut itself. No more gray, yay!

*Bought groceries. Now I just have to make myself actually do some cooking at some point today and I'll have food for the week.

*Listened to a very regrettable Penguins game. Three days off followed by a 2pm start meant the boys slept through the entire game. Montreal 3, Penguins 0

*Watched the first series of Hyperdrive, a ridiculous BBC space workplace comedy, that's just a bit addictive. It really is much like The Office, in space. I am, apparently, so hard up for entertaining scifi that I've become rather easy. The past few weeks it was Kyle XY, which I never watched when it was on. Despite painfully cliched and poorly conceived scripting and so-so acting, I became instantly hooked. I zoomed through all 43 episodes, went back and watched some of them a second time, and then started looking for fic. My first stop was ff.net and I immediately realized I would not be reading any Kyle XY fic. I couldn't even make it through the summaries, let alone try to read any of the actual stories. I suppose I could try my hand at writing some myself, but that would involve having some creative spark, which I currently don't. Blah.

*Nearly had a heart attack when a stink bug began flying around my bedroom. I was fine once I realized what it was, but those suckers are LOUD when they're zooming around. It sounded like someone was flying a remote control airplane inside my apartment.

Glad you like your hair color; I hope the cut is good too, now that you've fixed it. Condolences on the Penguins. They need you now as a fan; stay strong!

Oh, well, just because the Pens had a crap game doesn't mean I'm going anywhere. Cuz then I'd miss games like today, where they beat the Oilers 5-1. :)

I know what you mean about the stink bugs. I am pretty used to them now but when they first appeared a few years ago I freaked every time they buzzed around.

Another thing that freaks me out is the idea that you have to worry about coloring over your grey hair. You are still a young one!

This is the first year I've had stink bugs here. It was really only the noise that surprised me, though. I tend to startle very easily, and they are loud.

I must admit the ever growing amount of grey in my hair freaks me out a little bit, as well.

I have to force myself to do some cooking, too. I sure won't be in the mood once the work-week starts!

I sadly failed on the cooking front. I've put the meat in the freezer and I'll try again next weekend.

Congrats on the hair cut and coloring! Mine is still untrimmed, graying, and frequently uncombed. But really, I don't think the pets mind, so I guess I'm okay at least for the coming week.

That's the nice thing about pets. They love us regardless of what we look like. As long as we feed them in a prompt and timely fashion.
