Going for a haircut tomorrow AND going to replace these yucky glasses with SOMETHING at least less yucky. I don't care much what people think of my looks or my attire, but I have to confess that I care what I think and, beside resenting the snot out of putting on glasses I hate to catch a gander at what's up with my hair at all, I'm going through some serious changes on this hair thing.
The lady who cuts my hair has been telling me that a lot of the short bits sticking out everywhere is actually new hair coming in, the recovery from being hypothyroid so long, but on top of that I've got some curly coarse gray hair growing into my fine and straight strawberry hair. There actually is much more than that going on. There are also BLACK hairs growing into this mix. My hair is turning way more particolored than ever before, of all different gauges and ranging from poker straight to something so curly it's getting to where you could almost call it "kinky". Chaos pretty much reigns. I'm very big on chaotic hair, BUT I want it to be MY kind of chaos and this is not that.
I'm on the verge of telling her to whack it all off so I can have a chaotic pixie cut to make go all Laurie Anderson and call it a day... except you CAN"T call it a day with a pixie cut... ever. You have to pay money every few weeks to keep it cut right or you look like TOTAL crap again. Short hair is not for poor people.
This leaves me wrestling with my wriggling insides for some patience and again heavily considering investing in some clippers so I can go with the Zen look and keep myself bald, not having to fork over any more of my no money.
I guess we're going to find out....

While we're on the subject of monster irks management, could somebody please invent a teapot that ONLY whistles when yer not right next to it and unable to put something down instantaneously to attend to it? I've stopped damning the whistle inventors to hell for doing these hateful noises to me BECAUSE they have staved off the day when I burn my house down from pure absentmindedness, but, well, please. How much do you expect me to take?

ReplyDeleteA 1/8" drill bit through the middle of the whistle hole will do the trick.
Of course you will then be required to check it frequently to see when it is boiling.
What about a MOTION DETECTOR?
ReplyDeleteSheesh.
Hmmmm....
ReplyDeleteHad to break my lurking silence for...this?!
ReplyDeleteWhat about an electric jug/kettle that turns itself off when it has boiled?
Why, that is a STERLING idea, zed! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI had gone that route before, but the things kept fizzling out on me... taking ever longer to heat up, until they just ceased... only working for a few months and then, pft. Same problem with those cool little personal espresso makers.
But... come to think of it, maybe I should put that option back on the table. If I don't stop being such an airhead with my coffee water, it might be less environmentally detrimental to keep buying those things than to burn my house down!
Thanks for piping up!
So. What I do is get Italian roast coffee, ground to smithereens, Turkish grind, and use a Melita filter setup to get a cup of coffee that is about as strong as espresso. I put some half and half in there and sip heaven. I do it so much that it gets to be like those smokers who forget they've lit a cigarette and light another. That's part of it. Plus, my lifelong absentmindedness thing... where I'm like the proverbial professor who bumps into things while concentrating on a unified field theory... where I don't realize I have to pee worse than I have to go on living until my bladder is screaming bloody murder and it's touch and go if I can make it to the toilet. Cap that with thyroid trouble and just plain aging and it is getting to the point where I need a mother or a guard dog or something... or a TEENAGER who can escort me through the third millennium!
