some stuff

My hair covers my glasses now. I guess it's not that it looks bad, but this in-between stage is so hard to get to not-look-bad compared with the shorter hair that it drives me crazy. I'm all about the low-maintenance; I guess I should have just done this while I was unemployed instead, when I could totally just wear it in ugly barrettes and not care. Oh well. Another month and it'll be almost a bob, and um, even more trouble to take care of. Blargh. I don't know. I basically see that there are two haircuts that are low maintenance, the really short kind and the really long kind. If it's long enough I can just wash it before bed, and it frizzes up and actually looks good in the morning.

I pushed past my antisocial tendencies this weekend to take care of Boudoir, and go out Saturday night. Which was good, even if I did have to rely on chemicals to work up the nerve. But I saw xamichee for I guess the first time in a month, which was nice. We placed a bet, although I'm not sure if the 4:1 odds are in my favor or his. And also took a pic with me, him, and a girl whose name I've forgotten. Big Pimpin Yo.

Did get a lot of reading in, though... read the Sex and the City book (which is just a collection of those articles she wrote, I guess) and got halfway through Midnight's Children. So the book is really just icy and cold and not as funny as the show, a lot of the same stuff is covered, not as in depth of course. The humor that is there is stark and cold, and I think I'd die in new york. Anyway MC is pretty interesting though hella long and rambling. Not as bad as Eggers of course. heh.

The Sex and the City book is kind of interesting, because you see less of a traditional sense of humour which is put forth in the show.

Talk about a broad smarting from a nasty relationship. I don't think Bushnell really got over Mr. Big.

You mean Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children from 1980?

How is it? How's the portrayal of India ---- is it informative, good, realistic background for a relatively ignorant american?

I've had the book sitting on my shelves for years and never picked it up, but I must have found it interesting enough to buy at one point. (Ithaca library book-sell-off where I probably picked it up for $.25)

well i'm an ignorant american too, but it seems fairly realistic, i mean right now it's a kid living in Bombay in relative wealth, though.
