I had not heard of Joy Division before.  I listened to the song and I liked it.  Thanks!

Curlgirl: You're quite welcome...and I'm willing to bet that you've heard 3/4 of Joy Division on the radio many times without even knowing it. Wink
    You see, after singer Ian Curtis' suicide in 1980, the remaining 3 members continued on under the name New Order and gradually adopted a more synthy, electronic sound which made them an 80's staple:



That should ring a few bells. Now who wants to dance? ...

Hair: Waited until noon to take a shower again, so I did a W-CWC. All of the usual blended products + Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly shampoo.

Leave-ins were spray conditioner blend & ELOO. I even misted the air with a little body spray and let it land in my hair after it dried. So now it's super clean, super silky and smells super awesome. Style is a single braid.

Etc.: Gah, another round of dying celebrities. Sad Quite the epidemic. Like Exodus.

What else is going on...? Today I've been washing, ironing and hanging up the new tops that I got yesterday to replace some other items in my closet. After all, how many plain black t-shirts does a gal need anyway?
    I've also been tossing out things that no longer fit or that I'll probably never wear again (dust on the hangers is a good indication) which frees up a little closet space. It's a shame to see some of it go but I know I'll find excellent replacements eventually.

After I'm done with the wardrobe update, I might go to B&N. They have some pretty epic deals going on.
    Oh yes, and my new debit card arrived today so everything is good to go. 'Til next time, loves. Kiss

Curlgirl: Anytime. Smiley

Hair: Clarified and treated yesterday. CWC today with blended light conditioner + HE Tousle Me Softly S&C. Leave-ins are the spray conditioner blend + ELOO. Style is a bun.

Etc.: The cavity in one of my molars is getting bigger and uglier and now it's begun to really hurt. Need to see my dentist ASAP...I don't trust the low income clinics (or any other dentist but mine) and they're far away.

Naturally, the world is totally devoid of jobs at the moment, so it's time to start saving what little of my unemployment that I can...if any.

My only distractions from the aforementioned torments are boogieing or singing along to some of my fave tunes.
Sigh.

One good thing is today's new manicure. Gunmetal gray...cool & modern, but subtle.


You Are Silver

...

You are down to earth and unpretentious. You don't feel like you need to show off, and you're very secure with your place in the world.
You are understated and elegant. You carry yourself with poise, and you're more known for what you don't do than what you do.

You can fit in anywhere from a country western bar to a black tie gala. You are adaptable and adventurous.
You are blind to social class and background. You see people as who they are ... not as where they came from or how much money they have.

Are You Silver or Gold?

So...it's June. Yay hooray.

Measured in at 29" today. Just an inch away from my decade-long goal of returning to waist length. It won't happen before the July trim...perhaps before the year is over.

The ends are starting to look worn. Not tatty or uneven or anything, just drier and thinner than the rest of it. You can see through them, especially if I oil them. But if I don't oil them, they're dry as a bone. Thus begins the daily ritual of over-oiling the ends and pinning the whole mess up in a bun. At least until July.

Used a brush to detangle the length before exercising this morning. My comb just wasn't cutting it. Maybe that's another necessary ritual for June - detangling with a brush every morning instead of a comb.
    Anyway, hair stayed in a ponytail while I was exercising, then got another pre-shower detangle with my morning comb. Wash routine was a CWC with all the usual blends, and I must say that I'll probably start using Suave Professionals shampoos in the future instead of the Suave Kids 2-in-1's. The latter just leaves too much of a film on my hair and is slow to lather. Plus, I've already used my mother's Suave Pro rosemary mint shampoo once before and actually liked it.

In any case, leave-ins today are the same as ever and style is a regular bun.

Alright, I'm off to check more job listings. ...

Hair: CWC for the past few days. Leave-ins are spray conditioner blend & ELOO. Styles vary - yesterday it was a twisted updo, today it was a single braid. Right now it's doing naught but hanging there.

Etc.: Friend T was in town yesterday and we spent the afternoon hanging out in Seaport Village. We went to the bookstore/coffee shop (that stole my last debit card) to get his parking validated and while I was waiting at the counter for my Mexican hot cocoa, a little old lady complimented the shirt I was wearing and told me I was "stunning." Shocked I've been called a lot of things, but that's never been one of them. Caught me completely off guard but totally made my day. Little old ladies rule. Wink

After that, T & I went to explore the beautiful (and haunted) Hotel Del. It had been years since I'd been there and T had never seen it.
    Then after a quick stop at Starbucks, it was back to my parents' house to visit the family and watch Jimmy Kimmel. T made it home just after 4 AM. Shocked

Today I went with my father and his former lead guitar player to a guitar clinic where John Jorgenson and Brad Davis were playing. It was epic...and I even saw a former co-worker from ages ago there. We recognized and acknowledged each other but didn't have time to say hello.

As of right now, I'm waiting for my last load of laundry to finish drying before I can rest these weary old bones. Well, weary old muscles anyway. Totally killed both of my calves a few days ago while exercising and can barely walk. Undecided We'll see how they do tomorrow. Getting tired of having petrified legs.

I'm catching up.  I need to dust of the two JD CD's I have.  I bought them before online music shops so I had to order them to a local music shop and wait for three weeks. I don't know why I never got in to New Order.

Your loss, hunnay. Wink

Hair: Clarified yesterday. No treatments; just used my regular ol' conditioner blend. The one and only leave-in was the spray conditioner blend made of Kenra Daily Provision and Pantene Detangling. Style was a single braid.

Today it will be a CWC with the usual conditioners and Kenra Moisturizing shampoo. Weekly routine is the same - it's the products that vary. Depending on my hair's needs that day, I'll usually go to the closet and pick out whichever products will work from the stash. It will take quite awhile to use them all up...perhaps until the end of the year.
    What I've lost in allegiance to a particular brand I've gained in variety, which is an overall win.

Etc.: Ugh, sounds like my sister is bathing her dog. Thank goodness I didn't clean the tub out yet. Well, not all of it at least. Angry I did scrub the edge, the window sill and one wall of the shower that was blasted top to bottom with booger boy's handiwork. Or nose work as the case maybe. Tongue

It will all be over soon. My sis and Señor Snot Rocket have been looking at houses on a near-daily basis. Apparently the boy gets some kind of housing discount through his work. Must be nice. Although I've seen how their apartment looked on several occasions - I can only imagine how they would keep a house. Shocked

The legs are better today. I can almost walk normally. By the end of the week they should be fine.

Great, now my internet connection is failing. It does that a lot lately. Isn't technology wonderful? If it actually lets me post this, I may as well leave y'all with a quiz or something at least.

The bathroom is empty now. Time to assess the damage. ... Sigh.
It will all be over soon.


You Are Having a Crazy Day

...

You feel a bit overwhelmed by the changes doing on in your life right now. You don't have a good anchor.

You are an energetic person. You tend to tackle your problems head on - but you also worry about them too.

You are prioritizing your individuality right now. You have your own stuff to work on.

Deep down you crave freedom. You feel at peace when you are able to do what you want.

Hair: Same routine as yesterday. Same products. Style is a bun with 2 bobby pins. Woohoo.
    Yes, it's a rather minimal effort but I didn't plan on going out today or doing anything special. My game plan for this summer is to stay in and read as much as possible. Well, and dork around with my bass. None of that requires complicated routines or crazy styles.

Etc.: Speaking of reading, I finished Jillian Venters' Gothic Charm School book yesterday and am now on the final chapter of Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang by Chelsea Handler - recommended by my sister. It's an insanely easy read. Now I realize I've read 2 books in a row that were actually published this century. Shocked

Well, my sister and her bf are apparently in the final stages of securing a place. I'm not sure when they'll begin moving but it sounds like it may happen rather soon. *taps fingertips together* Eeeeeexcellent.

Now I'm off in search of sustenance. Ta-ra!


You Are A Creative Dreamer

...

You dream big, and you often are willing to think of ideas that others wouldn't dare dream about.
You don't just think outside the box - you're not even aware of the box being there!

You can solve problems that other people think are impossible. You always explore all options.
Where others see nothing, you see possibilities. For you, the world is rich with potential.

What Kind of Dreamer Are You?

I might look those books up because easy reading is all I have time and energy for but I miss reading.

Drear: Only the last one I mentioned was particularly easy reading and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who lives with young children.

Trisha: Yep, they (and their mess) should be moved out by the end of July. Unless something goes terribly wrong.

Hair: WCC today - finished my regular conditioner blend and will be using Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly conditioner henceforth. Unless something goes terribly wrong. Roll Eyes

Leave-ins were spray conditioner blend & ELOO. Style is a bun. Lately I've been slicking back hairline strays with aloe gel. The hold is incredible. Smiley

Etc.: Went out today and got a few books (one of which is a copy of Dracula with illustrations by Edward Gorey - score!), a new CD and sunblock lotion to replace the spray on crap that I currently have. Speaking of the spray on crap, did I mention that it managed to eat through the finish on my bass? Shocked Never play guitar while wearing sunblock.

Thankfully I haven't needed any for the last few days. The weather has been decidedly non-SoCalian. While I was roaming around an area in the mountains, enjoying the "June gloom," I looked at all of the rocks, trees and waterfalls and was reminded of some of my favourite parts of NoCal. It was a definite moment of "where am I again?"

...

...

...

...

...
In case you'd never seen the backside of a waterfall before.

...
That's fire coming out of the rock.

...

...

Yesterday I also scored this groovy little candelabra (yes, that's the backseat of my car):

...

Anyway, that's what I've been up to. Cheerio!

Sakina & Curlgirl: Merci, mes chères. Wink

Hair: Ok. Yesterday I broke down and got my own bottle of Suave Professionals rosemary mint shampoo. Just to see if I'd like it over time. I know it has oil in it and my scalp could end up breaking out, but it's new and I had to try it.
    So I did. This morning I did a CWC with an ACV rinse. Conditioner was Pantene Color Preserve Volume, which I only have a little of, so I'll probably spend the next few days using it up. I also used up the last of my light conditioner blend, so I'll be using the remains of my TRESemmé anti-breakage.

Leave-ins were the spray conditioner blend and heavy ELOO. Style is a bun.

Etc.: Has anyone not seen Lady Gaga's new vid for Alejandro? Wow. Something about Gaga always makes me want to wear lots of makeup. Grin

Speaking of music, Boudin played a Roy Orbison song over their PA while I was there earlier this eve. Cheesy Impressed.



Anyway, since some inconsiderate boob stole my parking spot and spoiled my plans to wash my car, I think I'll take off the 2-week-old pewter polish that's still clinging to my nails and then clean up for bed. Maybe get some laundry going.

My family has gone to Disneyland for the night so I have the house to myself. Ciao!
