Well, leave it to the incredibly gay man-boy to give me a fantastic new cut. Or at least I thought it was fantastic at the time. Why is it you can never replicate your freshly cut salon hair? What was fantastic when he spun me around in my chair before we both jumped like little girls at my glee has now turned into this...mullet-esque wig like concoction. No, it's not him at all, it's just my hair. My uncooperative hair. So, as always...I'll give it a few more days to let the new DO settle in. In the event of any long term uncooperativeness - I've got several winter hats in queue.
So I have returned from the far east. Nothing to blog on that yet...if ever. My inner blog voice rarely emerged on this trip, therefore, little writing was done. According to my sister, I am still suffering from jetlag (as i write this at 1:24 in the AM.) At first I thought i was over it until she said, really? Don't you NOT want to wake up until late in the morning? (why...yes!) And, don't you NOT feel like sleeping until late at night? (why...yes yes!) The diagnosis? Jet Lag. That explains it! It seems as though i've been suffering from jet lag for several years now.
Why is it in the movies or on tv, people always fall in love so quickly? It's always love at first sight. To answer my own question: for practical reasons, i guess. No one's got the time to sit through a whole courtship, especially when dramas are only less than an hour. But in movies, many times: boy sees girl from window, girl sings song, and boy immediately falls in love with her. I'm talking about one movie in particular, but you can apply this formula to many movies. And then yknow, drama ensues, boy loses girl, ffwd to the end, boy reunites with girl, all is grand, and they live happily ever after. I'd like to see about movie about the ever after part. The part where they move in together to their new castle loft in the downtown village, and then really start to get to know each other. He finds that she has bad personal hygene (which is unfair to be critical of since everyone back then had bad hygene), and she finds him to be just a farm boy, not fit for the hip castle loft in the village. They find out that they're not so hot for each other after all, and that maybe their love was soley based on that first "look" and that first song. And then maybe they'll have wished that they didn't rush into things so quickly and that their love maybe wasn't based on that first glance, but rather, on his delutional state from not having eaten for days, and from her lapse of judgement due to not getting enough oxygen to the brain after being locked up for so long. (Plus she was singing at the time, which takes more oxygen away from the brain and uses up what little energy she had from not getting out and doing her daily calisthenics.) Then they'll have to go their separate ways, but not before deciding who gets to stay at the castle loft. But i digress.
My point is: ok. I lost my point. Perhaps i'll circle back to this another day.
So, last day of the year. I probably should spend some time on goal setting and personal achievements for the upcoming year...but I'm not going to. At least not today. I already know this year will start with a less than stellar start. But that's not to say I'm letting that dictate the direction for the rest of the year. There is hope that things will turn out fine, if not better than expected. Stellar could still very possibly be on the horizon.
For now, I'm wishing on the stars, and hoping for the best.
Happy New Year.
