random ramblings
Aug. 30th, 2008 10:45 pmDyed my hair today. Probably the deepest flaming copper it's ever been. Ruined two towels and made a mess of the bathroom, but it was worth it.:P Now all I need is a facelift, and I can pretend I'm 25 again.;D
( Here's a picture - it doesn't do justice to the color, but I couldn't resist anyway.;) )
In other news, I finally saw a chiropractor last weekend (which I probably should have done years ago), and she said my upper back was knotted up as all hell (not in those words exactly, but you know ;), and it would take quite a few visits to loosen it up to a comfortable level. So it's definitely a good thing I still have my health insurance. *nods*
In more irrelevant news, I am very happy with my Netflix subscription. They have a huge selection of foreign/independent films, and the DVD's actually get here, usually a day or two after the email announcing that they have been shipped. They don't get lost or stolen. Only once did I have to report a missing DVD, and it was replaced very quickly. I have seen many interesting movies in the past few months - some of them definitely deserve a post, but there likely wasn't either time or energy to make it. One I have to mention, though. The Kite Runner. An absolutely stunning tale of friendship and sacrifice, loyalty and betrayal, guilt and redemption, cruelty and kindness. It carries an uplifting message at the end, but gets very dark and disturbing on the way there - so keep a box of tissues handy if you plan on watching.;) Seriously, it will kick you in the gut if you are squeamish or tend to have intense emotional reactions to the sight of (however fictional) cruelty or injustice (like yours truly). But it is totally worth seeing nonetheless.
And that is all for tonight. *yawns*
