Meep and ugh, I had a predictable but still terrible experience at the hairdresser's today, that was made worse by the fact that it was partially my own fault for being such a doormat. I finally made an appointment to get my hair cut, because I've been wanting to try having really short hair again (and if after a shitty semester isn't the time for ( Read more... )

( Hark, a meme! )

So, I'm about to go to bed, and for the first time in something like three-and-a-half years, I won't have to braid my hair as I get ready for bed. There's still enough hair for a tiny braid in the back if I really wanted, but the front is too short to reach it. Plus, since it's no longer going to wrap itself around my neck and try to kill me in ( Read more... )

Eep. I am about to brush my teeth and then leave for my haircut appointment. I am very nervous. I have got some pictures of the kind of thing I might want, and roommate J gets her hair cut by this person and really likes her, and her online reviews suggest that she is very good and very good at working with people to make sure they get both the ( Read more... )

I have now made an appointment to get my hair cut (off).

My appointment is at noon tomorrow, which doesn't give me much time for finding pictures of what I want ( Read more... )

Me this morning: Gnuuuuuuuh, get up this morning whaaaaat? YAAAAAAWN I need a coffee chaser for my coffee. Siiiiiigh medieval French romance. Procrastinate procrastinate. I wonder if there's any food lurking around the department. Groooooan, why is my next book at the bottom of my biggest and most structually-unsound stack of books? Eep, ( Read more... )

So, I stumbled across this while looking at Inauguration pictures on MSNBC, which just goes to prove that I should not internet-stalk the Obamas. I was so outraged that I have to post the link. Apparently the Today Show gives a makeover every week to one not-so-lucky member of the crowd. And they're terrible! I haven't seen anyone so far who ( Read more... )

Today's moment of WTF, brought to you by my reading of the moment, which will go unnamed here, although reference to my reading list sticky-post should make it fairly easy to figure out what it is.

Seriously.

"Feudal society made use of a specific and precise vocabulary when it came to indicating the role and quality of each person. The meaning ( Read more... )

So, I'm done my paper, I think. I finished it up and sent it off to French prof B before German, but she wants a hard copy, so theoretically I could probably do more editing before tomorrow. I sat through German thinking it probably sucked enough to get me thrown out of grad school, but since I got home, I've reread the parts I was most worried ( Read more... )
