Tainai: Me too, babe. God bless WA.

Hair: Just the usual CWC routine. Started a new bottle of S&C today...and waiting for my Sunsilk Anti-Flat conditioner to run out because I kind of want to switch back to Suave Vanilla Floral. I'm already feeling rather autumnal.  
   The usual leave-in crème + braid for today. Nothing spectacular.

Music: Band practice tonight. The boys are dreading Boscoe's return for fear that he may fire us all.
   I'm not worried about it.

Other: My laptop is finicky, but mostly operational. It may have a bug that my anti-virus & anti-spyware programs can't flush out.  


And oh, you look so tired
But tonight you presume too much
Too much, too much
And if it's the last thing I ever do
I'm gonna get you

Crash into my arms
I want you
You don't agree
But you don't refuse
I know you
    -Morrissey, Jack The Ripper

Hello, you little charmers. 

Everything's fine, generally speaking. I've just been frightfully busy of late. I do appreciate the concern, though, Curlgirl. 

On Friday, my sister and I took the cat to the vet to have him checked for ear mites. He ended up getting a rabies vaccine and tested for feline lukemia. Everything checked out fine.
    Saturday morning, I gave him a bath (probably his first ever) and put flea medication on the back of his neck. Needless to say, he hasn't been very happy lately.

The rest of Saturday was a total waste and I won't even bother writing about it.    I will say, however, that I believe it must be an unwritten law of nature for certain days of our lives to suck completely.

Yesterday I spent shopping for shower curtains for my bathroom with my parents and pouring over my lines for the film segment of the rock opera, which was being shot the next day. Both endeavors consumed my entire day.

Today, I have my lines memorized (at least for the most part), but any actor knows that this means absolutely nothing when the time comes to deliver them. Between memory lapses, nerves and whatever else, I'll be surprised if this all doesn't end in disaster. hehe Maybe we'll have a bloopers reel...

The funny thing about this role is that it finds me playing a mundane, so I've had to raid my mother's and sister's closets in order to find something that wasn't gothic.    I also plan to borrow one of my sister's shimmery brown eyeshadows and maybe a little pink blush wherever I can find it.    Don't worry - Angel hasn't lost her wits completely. I'll be removing all of it and morphing back into my tragic self when I return home. 

So far, work has been really busy. I wish the phone had more sympathy for a nervous, frazzled actress who only has a few hours to practice her inflections.    No rest for the wicked...buahahahahaaa!

Anyway, hair's been surviving through all of this with the usual treatment. Mostly CWC's, leave-in's, braids, etc.
    Since I had the morning shift today, I wasn't able to go through my clarifying routine. Instead, I just did a very typical CWC + detangling leave-in crème and now my hair is up in a pencil bun because I was a doof and forgot to bring a scrunchie. My hair must stay bunned today because I want to have a curly/wavy ponytail for filming tonight.

Nails are coated with OPI's Yoga To Get This Blue and the tips are chipping badly already.    I already touched them up once yesterday!
    Another thing that's bugging me is my complexion. Of course my skin had to rebel the day before I'm to be immortalized on film.    Tonight's makeup job will no doubt deserve an Oscar if I can manage to make myself resemble an actual human being.

Anyway, I'd best get back to work. It's just the start of a verrrrry busy day, y'know.
Ta!

L&L3: Thanx. 

Euro Trash: As I was loading things into the car and leaving for the video shoot, my good ol' buddy R cruised by to show off the old Porsche that his parents had just gotten him. It's in worse shape than my old Mercedes    but I climbed in and he took me for a short little spin around the neighbourhood.
    He remarked that we should ride around together sporting black leather and mesh, blasting godawful techno and faking German accents. 

That's A Wrap: After R dropped me home, I said goodbye to my sister and left to join the gang for filming. After driving by the place 3 or 4 times, I finally found it...and the minute I walked through the door, Lizard informed me that I would be playing a totally different role than the one I'd rehearsed for.      I didn't even bother rehearsing my new lines.
    Instead, I just put on a different costume, marched onto the green screen and read aloud from the cue cards. It was really no big deal at all.
    A few other band members had acting roles as well - namely my father, the keyboard player and the drummer. But there was also a girl there whom I ended up talking to just by chance and it turned out that she would be auditioning as a backup singer with us at practice the following night. She's a 21-year-old classically trained opera singer (oh boy  )...real cute and she seems nice enough.

So anyway, once my father's and my scenes were done, I went home where my mother and sister and buddy R were watching the Olympics. After changing back into my own clothes (ahhhhh!), I hung out with them for awhile.
    Sometime after R left, I realized how exhausted I was and, in the midst of a texting convo with another friend, T, I crashed. 

Hair: So I ended up not needing the wavy ponytail after all. My hair stayed in a scrunchie bun for filming and I took it down afterwards.
    Last night before bed, I oiled my hair and put it in a sleep cap for overnight. Then this morning, I mixed up a DWV rinse and went through my usual clarifying routine. I also used my leave-in crème on the length and my hair doesn't seem to like that.

Since this is my last month using Breakage Defense S&C, I figured I'd make a list of the products that I'm currently using.

For daily washing & conditioning:

• Pantene Restoratives Breakage Defense shampoo
• Pantene Restoratives Breakage Defense conditioner
• Suave Naturals Lavender Lilac conditioner

Leave-In's:

• Pantene Restoratives Breakage Defense Detangling Leave-In Crème
• EVOO

Treatments:

• Pantene Restoratives Time Renewal Replenishing Mask
• EVOO

For clarifying:

• Pantene Purity Clarifying shampoo
• Distilled white vinegar

Embarrassing Moment Of The Day: I had just shoved a whole saltine in my mouth when the cute, young design prodigy from the Fire division came over to ask for postage. It's rather difficult to have a conversation while chomping on a saltine. 

Music: Band practice tonight...and the new girl that I met last night will be joining us. If things work out, Picus Maximus will have a new sister. 

Other Stuff: Scale read 115 this morning. Woohoo and WTF?!
    Well, it's almost time for my break and I did bring a hairtie today. After that, I have a few stacks of papers to shred. So it's back to work for yours truly. Peace!
