• Interestingly, one benefit of dying your hair often enough—particularly if it's black, which doesn't come out easily—is that you get to stop doing the ends after a while. So, because I don't have to bundle up under a trash bag to keep the dye in the ends of my hair off of me any more, tonight I put the dye on my whole scalp and then danced to "Fire Burning" around my house in a tank top and my underwear. Sometimes it's the little things in life we have to enjoy. ;)
• I've hardly been depressed for the last several days at all. Mostly because—even if I haven't yet decided to stop putting out effort—I've mostly given up that it will yield anything. Oh well.
• I has two new pairs of jeans! Seriously, I got a $100 pair and a $80 pair for $60 including tax and shipping from Levis.com. Yay sales! Alas, they didn't have the short-legged kind, so I'll have to have these shortened, but wow do they do nice things to my legs and butt anyway.
• *still dancing*
• I'm rereading one of my favorite Lackey books, and I had forgotten how much of it there is. Holy crap, long. There's a lot that bores me now in between the parts that I remember and love. Oh well. At least it refreshes my memory.
• Tomorrow isn't the 8am staff meeting! Whoo! (It's still next week, though...) Yay for not having to get up between 6:30am and 7am. I'm way too used to sleeping until 8:30 now.
•Through various shopping forays, the next week or so is going to be filled with really awesome food. I am excited. Tomorrow is flank steak marinated in my dad's "teriyaki" marinade. There's also half the quiche I made still. I made a giant bowl of jello tonight. And there's bbq beef brisket from Trader Joe's for sammiches. Plus, you know, various snack things. And a whole new loaf of challah for french toast. I am looking forward to this.
• P.S. I want an old style Polaroid camera. (My mom might actually have one somewhere...) Failing that, I would settle for one of the awesome new instant cameras Polaroid makes.

And hooray for jeans that fit!

I found a teensy old camera in my closet—which my dad had been using for years—and I might see if I can find some of the special film for it. It's got two lenses and a flash, so I'm like, "THIS IS SO AWESOME. FREE CAMERA."
