Tired...
The ink session went splendidly, as far as those things go. It feels great to be back in the saddle, so to speak, the only depressing thing is that we have so far to go. I can't wait for it to be finished, but I think it'll take at least three more sessions, perhaps even more. But I got some colour, and that is awesome. I might post some pictures soon, after it's healed. It's still a bit swollen and what not, but it's healing and scabbing like it's supposed to.
I'm off this weekend, which needless to say is a good thing. I have a million things I should do, like thoroughly cleaning the apartment and laundry. But. Forecast says that it'll be warm and sunny both Saturday and Sunday, so maybe I'll put it off. What I need to do, however, is bake a strawberry rhubarb crumble pie and make some new summer clothes for the dog, so that'll be good.
I cut my hair a few weeks back, and now it's short again, just like I like it. I really had no choice, I tried to bleach the black out -- once more remembering why you should never dye your hair black. If you've ever tried removing black dye, you'll know what I mean. It naturally became orange with white roots, with a texture like steel wool. So it had to go, and then I dyed the remains with a honey blonde dye, and now I look almost exactly like a natural redhead. Which, you know, not wrong. But it looks totally awesome, and I'm happy.
I thought that I'd introduce a (hopefully) recurring section in this journal, a section I'd like to call Things I Don't Understand, and no, it won't be a testament to my being slow. It's just that in this new life of mine I have a lot more time to reflect on different things I come across, and to no surprise, at least not my own, I hear and read about and experience things every day that is nothing less than proof that this world is crazier and more inexplicable than I ever could have imagined. Well, almost. People are crazy and weird.

Cell phone jewelry. Seriously. I don't get it.
