for those who care: pics of the hair change!



bleh, just swallowed yet another tangerine seed by accident... when my appendix explodes, i'll have had it coming.

this morning (psuedo-morning/early afternoon) was frustratingly pointless. so much burning of time. i need to get my grubby mitts on a copy of adobe after effects 5.5 or higher... i don't even mean i need a pirated copy or anything, i just need to use the frigging program for a half hour or so. has a lightning effect i must have access to. thought i could use maya to whip out an alternative to cover my ass with, but no. why is maya rendering out stuff with crap resolution? i do not know. i adore maya... after all this time i'd thought that maybe it had got to liking me back, just a little. but no. maya is a cold-hearted bitch.

no, i didn't mean that... maya's cool, and i love it. i will win it over, someday, when i have time to show the proper devotion...

o, and about the hair - i miss the purple. i like the red, it's very cool, and in some photos i took i played with overexposure and came out looking scarily irish. scarily because i looked irish to the detriment of looking like myself, but that's another thing entirely. but yes: the purple was starting to look a bit run down, it was fading to odd streaks of salmon and fuschia, but that's not its or my fault - couldn't re-dye to keep it up cause i knew i already knew i'd have to make my attempt to cover it over entirely soon. and i took many hot showers knowing it would run the dye out. but especially on the underside, it was tenacious. heh.

the red is taking getting used to, but i really like how pics of it came out. and huzzah for not just going back to brown. and relief for not stopping at the first dying, which resulted in an odd kind of eggplantly brown. the red is workplace-approved (well, technically not yet, but bah - i'm sure it will be) and nifty in it's own right.

what else? there was something... o! fatespawn's new fire-bellied newt is supercool, and we've moved my beta in with the older, colossal-sized newt. they are co-existing peacefully and eying the guppies. apparently they've a common interest in guppies... we may expect the guppy population to decline soon, perhaps. shall see.

um, right - must write philosophy paper now - maybe more later. i'm spacey again. haven't been eating nearly enough this weekend - odd hours will do that to you. so have been tired and stressed and hungry (or emptily not-hungry) and lightheadedish. badness because when i'm stressed i want to work out, but when i'm lightheadedish i know i shouldn't. so i'm trying to figure out what non-tainted leftovers i have here can compose a dinner of the proper size and taste so i've got the strength to be active tomorrow. my refrigerator reeks of long-defrosted shrimp (my roommate's fault) so i'm mostly going off brunch remnants (which haven't been exposed to the insides of my fridge) and the ever-present citrus. maybe i'll scrounge some ramen later, but i'm pretty full now. though i could probably make room for a big kat. ha.

photoshop is my rock garden. lotsa new pics, and i haven't played with any of it all half so much as i'd like...
