so, my friend lea came over last night & we had a �cut & color� night. this involved lots of highlighter, henna, homemade facials, a pot of coffee & half a pack of cigarettes. we were silly, we were strange, we did new things to our hair, we had an adventure. her hair looks great�

my hair is orange.

well, that is not completely true. my hair is dark brown, light brown, red, orange, strawberry blond, blond & some color i don�t think can be found in nature. when it is pulled back it looks kinda cool. when it is down it scares my cats.

i�m going to live with it for a few days & see what i think. it may be dyed black or all cut off by sunday.

it has been a long time since i�ve done something like this with my hair. despite what it looks like it was fun to just say fuckit & see what happened. i figured that if push came to shove i could always just cut it all off & start over. hell, it is just hair & everyone thinks i�m strange anyway.
*******
started working on the �5 questions� for other people. i�m finding this harder than it was to answer the questions i was asked, but i�m also finding it very fun. april asked some questions that opened up another part of me & i want to be able to do the same with the questions i ask. i�m hoping to have them done by tomorrow so i can send them out. i hope that this will be a learning process for all involved. (oh, if you want me to ask you 5 questions just let me know. like i said, i�m finding this fun)
*******
still swamped at work & starting to get a bit frustrated. i can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it could just be an oncoming train. the gallery is looking nice, but the colors i�m using & the detail involved require that everything get two to four coats of paint. that is a lot of painting when half of it is with a small detail brush.

on the plus side, this will be a very different exhibit look from what we have had in the past. this could be a good or a bad thing, but this time it is not my ass in a sling if it bombs so i�m not that worried about it. that does take some of the stress off.

i�ll just be glad when the fucking painting is done. then i can start installing objects & that is when the real fun begins.
*******
going to try to sneak out for a coffee tonight & see if i can get some writing done. i have not been very successful the last few times, but at least i got some haiku done.

summer�s last hurrah
leaves, embarrassed by their stay
blush in fading reds

i�ll post some more later in the week if i don�t come up with a new poem by then. wish me luck.
*******
time to get back to the email.
hope you all have a good night. i�ll post more tomorrow.

be well.
