this is me, scowling at the tv.

so, i started dying my hair at 15. long, curly locks dyed turquoise. someone at school said it looked like snot. which it kinda did. then i started shaving the back of my head. you could hardly tell with all the hair i had. mom said, "stop being so radical!" i blamed the temperature. i have lots of follicles per square inch, it's one of those things you can complain about when you have thick hair.

thusly, green turned purple turned blue... black for a minute, not good with my complexion. it also resulted in some ruined bathroom floors, pillow cases, and the like. i recall ending with green bangs and a shaved head. a teacher in college asked if i'd ever "dye [my] hair a color found in nature?" i said that green was in nature, dummy. i then switched to orange. it's a little more socially acceptable (i.e., "found in nature").

i liked the brand of orange because i didn't need to bleach first. bleaching the hair just ruins it. and the scalp. like, your scalp is screaming for help.

i stopped dying my hair a year and a half ago just to check for greys before turning 30. i haven't found many since, and there's no need to keep track of them. so, as i write this, the dye is soaking into the follicles of my numerous hairs; making my scalp scared (not scarred). the after-shower mirror-look will be one of wonder which shouldn't surprise me, but is imminently going to; in some weird way.

see you tomorrow; orange, shiny, and as loud as before.

so, i seeded some chives in march, to get ready to plant outside... and i noticed this one plant had three weird leaves on it, but the rest of the chives didn't. so, i planted it anyway. well, 4 months later, it's 4.5 feet tall and taking up too much space in my garden. so, i uprooted it and put it in the yard cuz i think it's just a regular ol' flower.

do you know?

it's a three-day week. usually, this is welcome... but sometimes people still try to squeeze the equivalent of a 40-hour week in. i don't mean to say i'll work 40 hours anyway, more like there's reduced rest time during the three days we're here.

as i say to the co-workers, "heads down, boys!"
