Chatty Chat

Not much going on here of late, finally recovered from a bout of heat exhaustion which had me laid low. I am sensing a theme this summer with my health. I think my body has been letting me know in rather direct terms that I need to slow down and rest more. Not that I thought I was all that busy before.

One of the upsides of being horizontal for long stretches of time is reading. I have completed a series of sci-fi novellas as well as several essays and a few books over the last week. One of the books was a memoir and one was the Blue Lagoon.  A Tale of Two Cities is on my reading list too but right now I have a novel going.

Today is my return to the wonderful world of housework, lol. I have decided that Das' clothing multiplies behind my back. Currently I'm taking a break from the pile of socks wanting to be matched.  We may be going to a local goth thing this week... not sure yet so not much to say about it. I hope we go I as I would love to check out that scene. I told Das that when I was a kid I wanted to grow up to be Wednesday Adams, he said I pretty much did.  I am pretty sure he is the only person who sees me as even remotely goth but it works for me. At least I got the zipper fixed on my little leather mini dress so if we go I have something to wear...if only I could find my knee high boots I'd be in business.

Ashes?

By -
We went to a friend's b-day party this afternoon and being that the birthday girl was the only person we knew we engaged strangers in various conversations. One of those happened to be about hair, locs in particular. A young woman told me that in her teen years she helped someone with soft curly hair install his locs and he did it with heavy wax of some sort, which required the use of a blow dryer to melt it in, ashes to dry out the hair, and several other things I can't recall at the moment because this was hours ago and I think I was so horrified and yet intrigued about the ashes that I couldn't properly focus on the rest. I do recall her saying it took about 6 hours and the initial installation was some kind of kit her friend her gotten on the internet. I have read a lot about starting and maintaining locs over the years but ashes was a new one for me. I guess you really do learn something new every day.

Make Up

By -
Watching make up tutorials is like watching magic. It never ceases to amaze me how much different someone's face can look with well applied cosmetics. I'm entirely to lazy to actually do most of it especially on any kind of regular basis but I would like to learn how to do some of it for picture taking purposes. On a day to day basis though I like looking like myself.  Although there is is undeniable weakness for lipstick, if only the non transferable ones weren't all dry and the juicy/shiny ones stayed put. I think the search for the perfect lip color goes back to prehistory, as long as there has been a way to stain lips we've been seeking to improve upon it.  Tampering with our presentation is just so fundamentally human.

Update Quickie

By -
Christmas was good. We had a nice trip to the inlaws and we we got there the chocolate consumption was high. :) I'm rather amazed that I didn't gain more weight frankly because I always eat more there, I swear they put something in the food. We all exchanged presents and everyone seemed happy with what they got. I know I was. I got sparkly things and lotions, stuff I love. His mom is pretty perceptive because even though I always get girly things she never gives me nail polish which is good seeing as how I don't wear it. I am going to have a stellar collection of gloves though since I still have the ones from last year. Of course at this time of year there is no such thing as too many gloves. It snowed a few days, stayed sunny for Christmas and started sleeting the next morning. I'm glad we only made a day trip, driving home in that mess would have been horrible. Hopefully things will settle down soon as Das was caught in the layoff at the beginning of the month a...
