Thanks, Maroula, BB, and Khrome! I missed everyone here and wondered what I was going on with you all. I hope I don't have too many unexpected extended absences like this in the future. *knocks on wood*

Hair stuff: Things I wanted to write about for the past couple weeks:

*Premature white hair--I found more! Angry

I think there's about 15 currently growing that I know about. After pulling out a two a couple of years back, I've finally accepted the fact that I have white hair as well as all the other issues that come when finding white hairs at an early age. On the positive side, only one or two are visible without lifting sections of hair.

*Long hair sighting--Last week while I was on the bus, I saw a woman on the sidewalk who had her hair in a ponytail and half of the tail was in a braid, but her hair was still nearly to her knees! I was amazed and wondered how long her hair is loose. Yowza. She must have been growing it for ages.

*AO's Honeysuckle conditioner--Wonderful as a deep conditioning treatment. Last week I mixed some with honey and left it on for over an hour before washing my hair. The end result got a big WOW from me. I know I keep saying this, but I love that stuff.

*Hair length--It's about 1.5-2 inches from waist and is finally starting to feel long. In fact, I think this is the longest I've ever had it (or at least the longest it's been in four years). But just when I get good at making buns without using pins, it's now at a slightly weird length that makes constructing nice buns somewhat difficult.

The last time I updated this was on Sept. 24? Yeesh. Well, since the last time I did a somewhat thorough on my hair and haircare info was in June, I'd better update it now.

Basic hair info:
*Type: 1bNCii/iii (ponytale is 3.75")
*Length: somewhere between 27.5" and 28" (1/2 inch discrepancies[sp] are annoying, but I know it's grown more than .25" in September)

Products
*Shampoo: Origins' Knot Free
*Conditioner: Suave Natural's Milk and Honey, Aubrey Organics' Honeysuckle Rose mixed with honey

Haircare routine
*Everyday: condition with Suave
*Every 3-4 days: CWC
*Every 2-3 weeks: ACV rinse with added honey

Vitamins and supplements
*Nature Made daily multi
*1200mg calcium
*1800mg biotin
*500mg flax seed oil--on a break from it for now due to oddly timed acne. Amazingly that's made a difference

~~~~
Washed hair today--a day earlier than I was supposed to--and did an ACV rinse. Um, yeah.

After resisting for a year, last weekend I finally succumbed and joined the ranks of people who watch "Lost." Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I had held off before because it seemed like everyone else was watching it. Mom's BF has the season 1 box set and I spent last weekend watching all of it. Ack.

Since it's filmed on Oahu, I usually end up playing "Name that Location" when I watch it. Apart from a lot of the interior shots, I've been able to ID the following:
*YWCA on Richards Street
*stair case in the downtown First Hawaiian Bank
*Hawaii Convention Center (the Sydney airport)
*Honolulu docks
*Ala Wai boat harbor
*Costco in Waipio Gentry (not too far from my house. Neat!)
*underground storage area in Waikele
*neighboorhoods in Nuuanu or Manoa Valley
*St. Andrew's church
*the Mall at the University of Manoa (it was out of focus, but the background looked like the Mall)
*Valley of the Temples
*some wetland near Chinaman's Hat--a small off shore island
*rocks near Makapuu/Blow Hole area
*a room that's probably in the old court house near the state capital building

According to IMDB, the cave scenes are filmed in the old Xerox building. That's the place where Byron Uesugi shot and killed several of his coworkers in 1999, so that rates a 11 out of 10 on my creepy scale.

Still waiting for the black kimono to come. I hope it arrives soon.

Isn't it fun to try to ID places in shows/movies?

We/ve had fun with the movies that were filmed in the Minneapolis area. Darn I can't think of all the names, Fargo is one, Jingle....something with Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Disney movie with ice skating, and Mighty Ducks. The Grumpy Old Men movies were filmed just south of Minneapolis, and I recognized shots from those as well.

I'm sure you have many, many more movies and shows to pick from. Hmmmmm, could it be the COLD up here?? Shocked

Your new avatar looks great, BB! Figure 8 buns always look so cool.

lol! While more movies and TV shows may be filmed here, the cast and crew have to deal with super humid weather. Ick. Tongue

As for the locations used in "Lost", some of the scenes end up being unintentionally humorous. It's too funny when I see local spots that are supposed to represent places in Australia, Korea, England, etc. And I laugh every time I see the grassy area that's used as a "golf course"; that place has been used in so many movies that I keep expecting George of the Jungle, dinosaurs or Godzilla to start walking across. Happy

That's cool you can identify the places. We did something similar this weekend - we watched the movie "Sideways" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375063/ ; which was filmed along a popular stretch of California which is known as the California wine country. Most of it extends a few hours south up to a few hours north of where I live. The only difference is, is that they actually called places by their real names which took the guesswork out of most of it. It was still neat to see familiar landmarks on TV.

Heehee, reflected glory through recognizing places is always fun! I think a lot of people get excited when they see a place they know on TV.

I found a picture from Dec. 2003. I can't believe how short my hair used to be, and this was four months after I had a hair cut so my hair was even shorter!

Measured my hair last night when it was slightly damp. Most of the hair measured in at 28", but there were some strays that's 28.25".

edit: photo resized. I copyright'd my face. haha

I think my hair grows at the same rate as yours - It was about that short in '03 too. Oop, I forgot to measure-in. Wear did I put the tape measure...

Sakina and BB--Thank you! It's a little on the yellow side, but I had a hard time finding a picture where I didn't look stupid. haha. Tongue

Khrome--Thanks! That pic was taken at the end of the fall semester, so it's a wonder that I don't look super tired. I took another look at the pictures you posted at the beginning of your journal, and it does seem like we grow at the same rate. Oh, and we're practically hair twins, except your hair is much thicker than mine. Cool! Cheesy

Panpeus--haha! I usually describe myself as "not totally hag-like" so the comments you and Khrome left make me smile a lot. Thanks!

I don't know how fast my hair grew before, but it seems to have picked up speed with the biotin.

Hair stuff--Did a CWC last night and oiled my boxwood comb. My poor bbb, it's sitting on the shelf completely neglected because I use the comb so often these days.

I've learned that my hair has reached a point where high ponytails are no longer comfortable. I did my hair like that for luch with a friend today, and I ended up taking it down once I got back home. I think from this point on, the tail is too heavy wear in anything besides a low ponytail.

Photobucket--I think the site is down. My avatar and pics, along with some other members' on LL, are no longer showing. I tried going to the Photobucket website, but I can't access the thing. I hope Photobucket goes back on-line soon. >_<
