lovers

he put holes in his ears to hear the notes of zephyrs, follows the melody the winds melody down familiar cobblestone street onto beach front.

he paces the shore interpreting sand swirls and clustered shells, the language of waves. A scattering of shells reminds him of that night's constellations. he pulls a shell from mexico… Continue

Decided...

I've decided that it's just too much 'hawk for me to handle. I'm gonna cut some length off.
I have no experience, so starting smaller is the best for me, I feel. Once I get better with it I can let it grow longer.

The proverbial "straw" was that it was too tall in my car - it hit the roof and then kinda bent over. I just can't have it that tall!

My First Attempt

My hubby said it looked like crap...

I couldn't get it to fan well. And it kept trying to fall. And I could NOT get the back to stand up.

Too much product? Not enough?…

Done!

It's done. I snuck out from work to get a quick haircut from my stylist on my lunch hour.

My sides are nice and clean, and the 'hawk is thin enough that I should be able to put it up. Trimmed some length off it, too, so that should help.

So, cross your fingers that I'll be able to magically pull time out of my ass to put it up! *crosses fingers and toes*

*edit in*: I still have to do the tips red. That should be pretty easy, though and I might be able to do that… Continue

Church of England Appoints Punk Priestess

I'm not too familiar with all the levels of the Church of England, but I do find it surprising and encouraging that they are accepting in a lager-drinking, self-described punk and Sex Pistols fan into the clergy.…

It's Train Time

With autumn approaching, it's time to start on my much anticipated HO scale model railroad expansion. 1000 sq ft of table just isn't enough.

For those of you who don't know, I model an imaginary line between Berlin and Prague in the 1950s centered around the region of Silesia.. The topography is similar to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. My model world assumes that there was no iron curtain and communism fell along with Naziism after WWII.

My model railroad is home to… Continue

It's done... (started?)...

So, I made the cut... It took me about a month to get it done. It's hard to coordinate me, hubby, and baby. We ended up going to a friend's house so that they could watch the baby while he cut my hair. It took a lot longer than I planned because he's a bit of a perfectionist.

We just cut it wide and left all the length. I haven't tried to put it up yet. I'm thinking that I should cut it a little shorter and thinner before I try to put it up.

But, I think I'm gonna color it before I… Continue
