My mom has a new bathroom and a new shower and I have purple hair that spews everywhere like some eldritch horror after a frat party.

This means I am very careful when I wash my hair.

After taking a couple of days off during heavy rehearsals for my burlesque recital (the mindset of "Chin up! Arms out!" and "Gruesome ghost murder" don't mesh very well), I'm back to work. I also got my very last round of edits for The Witch's Alphabet so tomorrow I'll probably throw up a meter for that too, just to keep myself honest ( Read more... )

Well, it appears that my new thing about trying not to doomsay when the slightest roadblock falls into my path is working. I've been writing, I've had a ton of stress lift off me re: the homebuying situation, and even though there have been setbacks too I am going to stay relentlessly positive, because god fucking dammit, I deserve a little relief ( Read more... )

Seeing the Iron Man 2 EW issue today made me realize how much I'm looking forward to it--Iron Man was the first superhero film I geuinely enjoyed since forever. I'm glad they found a suitable replacement Hollywood Weirdo to fill the void left by Jeff Bridges. I'm glad Don Cheadle is on board. Even ScarJo's In-soviet-russia-hairpiece-wears-you Black ( Read more... )

There's a wicked windstorm (as we say where I come from) blowing up right now. We've had a power flicker, and I devoutly hope we don't lose power completely, as that would mean I would have to get myself in the car and go to the cafe down the street to work, and I would have to eat a pastry.
