I just watched the surviving episodes of The Daleks' Master Plan and the lone one from The Celestial Toymaker. Which means I've finally seen serials with Steven, Katarina, Sara Kingdom, and the Meddling Monk. Now I kinda want to see the Monk again. Was he really the Whoniverse's first Time Lord other than the Doctor?
We watched Office Space for Geek Night last night. It was great. While my own place of work in nowhere near that bad, I can see shadows of Initech in many places and many people I've encountered in my life.
Spent most of the day washing things. Took my quilt and a new thermal blanket to the laundromat along with my usual laundry. Which was expensive to wash, but needed to be done. And I washed my silk robe.
Y'know, that silk robe was probably the smartest $50 I ever spent. I bought it about five years ago, when I was still a broke college student, but I needed a new robe and I'd seen that one at a store in the mall that was all oriental stuff, and it was soft and huge and silk, and reversable to boot, so I saved my money for it. 'Cause I swear, most women's robes stop way too high up, or are made of stuff that's too heavy or too light, or are frumpy housecoats, or are all of them together. This thing covers all of me, almost down to my ankles, and it's a heavy twilled silk which is comfortable in all seasons, and which packs very small, and is washable, and has dragons embroidered on it. And unknown Korean characters, which for all I know say, "Stupid Americans will buy anything," but I don't care. For the sheer usefulness of it, for the fact that I wear it every single day, and that it remains gorgeous, it was totally worth the money.
And, um, I have a bit of a question about a slightly embarressing hair problem. You see, my hair has been thinning since I was about twenty or so, and it's got to the point of noticeable. Do any of you lovely flisters have any knowledge and/or experience with products designed to encourage hair growth? My hairdresser recommended the stuff her shop sells, but while I like her very much, there's probably a commission involved in recommending it.
So, um, yes. Rogaine, etc. Know anything?
Darn genetics. My grandmother and my Aunt Rae have the same problem. Of all the things I got to inherit, why did it have to be thinning hair?
