Kushiel's Dart -- Page 356. My two favourite characters have been murdered. I assume I will decide to care about the book again, but right now, I'm just reading along going, "What? What?!? NO!" Grrrr.

I'm groggy as hell this morning, no idea why.

Feeling vague dread about fencing as the exercises from Monday have made my tendons utterly ache. This is a good thing, but being reminded of the battle of my non-flexibility is always sad, especially because I feel like it's always assumed this couldn't posibbly be a battle. I'm sure once I'm conscious, this will pass. At least I get to go to Babycakes tonight.

So I've been, as I think I noted in passing, listening to the newer Scissor Sisters album again, and there are a few songs I skip because I don't like them that much when I lsiten to it, so WHY ARE THEY THE ONES ALWAYS STUCK IN MY HEAD? In the world of "shuffle is the bibliomancy of the new age" this concerns me.

I really need a haircut. My hair is a shapeless mass right now, but losing length from it, or too much length will make me unhappy. When I was younger I wore my hair long because this was how to be feminine or whatever. and then i hacked it all off because it was an utter pain to deal with and I look ridiculously cute with very short hair (and weirdly, much, much more feminine). Then it started getting longer out of laziness. Last time I cut it, I had a friend do it in teh summer, as I was in extremis, and it was my own damn fault, but it was too short. ow it's at this length whre I hate how it looks, but it's utterly a function of my fictional worlds -- e.g., this is how its done in the worlds in my head (I'm so tired I almost just wrote "in the heads in my world"). Seriously though, I should probably go before the barn dance tomorrow or something and get the dead ends cut off it and see if it can be given a little shape without it escaping from ribbons. Or, I should jus deign to have it be too short again, knowing it will be what I want-ish by the time of the conference in May. I can't believe that I'm (still) talking about my hair. Proof we never get over some things.

ETA: leopard_lady provides a partial answer: French braid! only, I don't know how.

barn dance

I am working on 30 Rock tomorrow, so it is somewhat up in the air as to whether I will make the Barn Dance. Feh. At least turning down the night shoot from Kee got me something less arduous.
