Bad things about the RNC other than the obvious? I live relatively close to the start of the downtown bridges, and if this morning is anything to go by a very loud helicopter will be circling over my damn house for the next week. I am displeased.

I have not updated you all on the wonder of really expensive skincare products in a bit, but all I can say is I'm continuing to use the Jurlique thing every day, and the shit is miraculous. Smaller pores, finer lines, softer skin, and most important for my face that seems determined not to leave adolescence behind -- fewer zits (that go away quicker too). Money very well spent.

On another note, after years of doing everything in my power to straighten my hair, it's been about a year with absolutely nothing in it whatsoever. And you know what. My hair isn't curly anymore (or at least not at this length, the top of it was always prone to being flat, but I had thought that was a function of its prior length). I am not sure how I feel about this. I know I'm supposed to be relieved. I know I prefer it at least moderately straight most of the time. But, as human nature (among other things) would have it, I think I've decided I'm fundamentally irritated.

Watched freakish middle of the night Olympics last night. I keep missing all the freakish crap I really enjoy though. Does anyone know when the harem sports (read: rhythmic gymnastics) is on? It amuses me possibly more than anything else in the entire world, a fact which does nothing to recommend my character, but so it goes.

Blah. Restless. And it's showing in the pretentious sentence structure.

Thank you. My obnoxiously pervy self is grateful.

I suspect most of the events are appealing to the obnoxious perv in most of us.

Jurlique? I haven't heard of this but I'm off to check it out. I've recently started using Avon's Anew and I'm impressed.....so far.

I've been trying to straighten my curly hair for years too. Weird this is....my hair was curly as a little girl and started to straighten more and more as I reached age 7, 8, 9, etc. and was only slightly wavy by the time I reached age 15. Then somewhere out of hell came tons of curls and frizz by age 16 and has stayed that way since. Me and my weird hair.

It's Jurlique Herbal Recovery Gel, and it's pretty hard to find here as it seems only a few spas carry it. It's like $61, but I figure I can stock up on it for cheap when I am in Sydney (company is based in Oz).

When are you going to Australia? Sorry, if I missed the news somewhere. Man, I've always wanted to go there!

Don't have exact dates yet as I won't have the course schedule until October, but probably leaving on or about new year's eve and coming back on or about the end of January.
