Random Silly Stuff
-Sometimes I wish it were still the style to go to the beauty parlor once a week to a get a wash and set. There is almost nothing I hate more than having to wash my hair and then style it. Maybe it's because when I was a kid, I had really long and thick hair and my mother was always so rough scrubbing and then combing it out. I literally cried at times and she would get mad. Part of it is that I really don't like to take showers. I much prefer baths. I hate the process of blow drying my own hair. I can never get the back as smooth as the rest. Also, I just love going to the salon and getting my hair done. It feel nice to be pampered for that hour and my stylist is really funny and I laugh through the whole appointment.
- When I hit the lottery, I'm going to have bras dyed to match my skin tone. I've never come across a 'nude' bra that matched my skin tone. I'm sure most other people haven't either. It just annoys me with pale colored tops, you can still see a vague outline of my bra.
- Speaking of underwear, I've discovered that an old fashioned long-line strapless bra is way more comfortable than a regular strapless bra. I don't spend the whole night trying to surreptitiously adjust it, because it feels like it's constantly falling down. Also, the light shaping action makes my dress look smoother.
- I was reading over my first SG1 fic last night after getting a review from someone who just discovered it. While there were a couple of things I'd change now, I still really love that fic. I've always felt when I write fic, I'm writing it because I want more of something. In this case, it seemed I wanted more screwball comedy in SG1, because it seriously is an old school screwball comedy. And having reread it, I even borrowed quite a bit of the plot from The Philadelphia Story. I know I wrote the fic in all seriousness back in the day, but it isn't really serious at all. I wrote it fairly quickly and I wish I could spit out fics that easily now since I have several incomplete fics hanging out there. It also reminded me why I didn't like Stargate Universe. It has almost no humor and not even the slight touch of screwballness that SG1 and Atlantis had. That was one of the reasons I fell in love with Stargate in the first place.
- I feel really flaky in general right now. Sometimes I wonder if I have problems with depression, because a lot of times it takes so much effort for me to actually get up and do something. But I think I'm just really lazy and I probably need more structure than I get working at
home.
- Marie Callender's Cherry Crunch Pies are really good.
