Pink!

On Saturday I get my hair re-dyed to the bright, spring-like pink that I love! I'm very excited! Last time it was dyed was in late January, and it really starting to fade. I've loved the way it is fading and changing - at one point it was this beautiful, delicate pink - but now it is time to go bright and eye-catching again.

I always get people asking me if I dye it myself - if only they knew how incredibly inept I am at anything to do with hair. :-) The only reason my hair ever looks good is because I go to the absolutely BEST stylist in the world. If you are ever in Vancouver, BC and need a cut or color, go to Dean at The Lounge (downtown Vancouver location). He is absolutely amazing! and a real cutie too!

Update: In re-reading this, I realize how much like an advert this comes across. I'm not trying to sell anything - go to whoever you want to to have your haircut, colored, etc. Really. Doesn't matter to me a bit - as long as you have good hair, that's all I care about. :->

Celebrity MySpace pages

Ok, so my job entails a lot of research and poking around on the net. So, today while poking around in my offtime, I happen to run across a minor celebrity MySpace page - no big deal. We know most of them have one, right? Well, poking around some more, I find one I find MUCH more interesting. Keep in mind, I'm not a fan, but I think finding Lindsay Lohan's MySpace page is kinda cool. Check it out - http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=59780377

Anyway, this was my neat thing for today. :->

Well, my friends have been busy sending me a few funny links, so I thought I would pass them along.

Have you counted your cows today?

and my personal favorite...

Natalie Portman is a bi-otch! (Okay, well, she isn't really... she is quite smart and funny, but that wouldn't be nearly as funny an intro, right?)

The link above is for the same video below. I thought I would try out both this time and see how it goes. Anyway, enjoy the video. Gotta say, YouTube is one of my favorite sites right now!



that's all for now!

Just cause it is Thursday afternoon and I'm a gadget addict… Can you spot the Maharaj?(Darren, that is)

I imagine he is rather proud of himself that he scored a spot modelling the new Microsoft Ultra-mobile PC (am I the only one who finds it weird that they aren't calling it the Origami?).

Anyway, must be productive now...

Just poking around the net and reading one of my new favorite blogs ShinyShiny.tv. It's a girl's gadget blog - fun to dream in the middle of a reference question that is stumping you. :-)

Anyway, while I was poking around, I came across this product that NEC is developing. It is called Kotohona and is supposed to communicate your emotions from the tone of your voice using changing colors. The actual item is a flower that would sit on your desk and I imagine as your partner's emotions change, so would the color of your flowers.

While this seems like a neat-o idea, I'm not so sure that I want to know how my husband is feeling every moment of the day. Actually, I'm not so sure HE would want me to know how he is feeling every moment of the day. The next step would be me calling him every time the flowers show he is unhappy or mad, asking "What's wrong???". Oh yeah, he'd LOVE that! :-) A little bit of space is healthy in a marriage.

Hmmm, maybe someone should tell NEC that.

Yup, it's been a long time. I'm contemplating creating my own website, which would incorporate a blog. Right now I am just waiting for our computers at home to be well again. They have been very, very sick for quite a while. CM is building a media computer and installing MythTV on it, but has run into a wall with that. Namely, the home theatre system I bought him 1.5 years ago (birthday) doesn't have all the connections he needs. He is trying to sell it, but doesn't want to give it away - although I think he will end up selling it for some ridiculous price, because right now it is just taking up space. Our main computer has been sick for almost a year. We have finally figured out the problem - memory. So we have replaced the part and looks like it is almost back to new. Yeah!

Anyway, this site was emailed to me - https://home.comcast.net/~josh.hosler/NumberOneInHistory/SelectMonth.htm

Instead of just doing my b-day, I decided to look at all the important dates in my life to see if I could find a pattern. No pattern, but kinda amusing... yes?
