Got my hair cut last night--you wouldn't think that with simple long straight hair a cut could make a big difference, but it does. I hadn't realized how shapeless it had gotten. Jason is still cutting hair, just not at a salon, so again if anybody is looking for him I'm happy to pass along his phone number. He thinks I should keep seeing Wendy for my color. We agreed that nobody wants to give the salon owners money at this point, but as he pointed out, the stylists there are his friends and he doesn't want what happened to hurt their bottom lines. Plus, she did do a really good job, so I was easily swayed to that line of reasoning.
Today's BPAL is Plunder: "The scent of a pirate's gumboat, overflowing with stolen wares: tea leaf, cassia, cinnamon bark, clove, allspice, sandalwood, tobacco, peppercorn, and nutmeg." It does indeed smell like all those things and is relatively mild. The sandalwood creates a smooth base for all the other scents to develop from. I like it. This is one of the ones that smells more like a perfume than a mix of oils, very nicely balanced. Though when I first put it on this morning, my immediate thought was "scented black and purple markers!" Luckily as soon as the oil had dried it no longer provoked that association.
Gosh do I have a lot to do in the next 56 hours or so. The one thing that is challenging me is when to do my henna voodoo veves. Can't do it right when I get home, because I need to sew and do some yoga. My body is screaming for some real stretching. But if I do it late, I will have to stay up even later for it to dry enough to wrap, and then sleep with it wrapped up and run the risk of the design getting spotty. I don't think I can do it Saturday am before the ball because I want to do yoga then as well, plus things will be generally hectic enough. And I'm worried that if I do it Sunday morning/early afternoon, it won't be dark enough by evening when I do my show. I think I just have to do it tonight. Maybe we can finish Torchwood while I wait for it to dry, I think we've just got three episodes left of season one.
