...in my post of yesterday.

1. This very interesting blog post about Dollhouse. The best thing I've read about it so far I think. Definitely worth a read if you like the show / don't like the show / can't decide whether you should watch it or not.

2. I cut all my hair off. Well, not all. But it's pretty short. I guess it's the shortest it can be and still be a bob. So that's cool. I'm pretty used to it now, but I still don't have a good pic of it, so you'll have to wait on that.

3. I signed up for Twitter a while ago, but as of this point in my life I don't plan to use it. A few random people have seen me there and added me, so I just wanted to get the word out to you all that (for the foreseeable future) it's a defunct account. I just didn't want anyone stealing my name! (That's okay, right?) I barely do FB updates anymore, so Twitter seems way beyond my current level of caring.

(why oh why oh why do i have a haircut tag??)

Very boring hair related post follows - feel free to ignore!!

So today I finally finally got my haircut.  I have been putting it off for literally months, so any semblance of a style had totally grown out - not to mention I had roots from the last time I coloured it.  (I'm totally addicted to colouring my hair; it's weird.)  Anyhow, it was just really long, probably the longest I have had it in about 10 years.  My hair grows really fast though, and I'm lazy.

So the plan was to keep some of the length but add layers - kind of long layers in the back and around the face.  And then I was having this whole argument with myself about the possibility of a fringe (bangs).  The last time I had it cut I did a kind of sweepy side fringe and it looked really nice.  I think it's a good style for me.  But one of my good friends (whose judgement I trust) was absolutely convinced that I needed to do a shortish fringe (ala Amelie) but still with the long hair behind - kind of a mod cut.  So that's a pretty drastic decision, and I've been fretting about it for about three weeks now!  I mean not like non-stop, but when I thought about it I just wasn't sure.  I had kind of settled on trying that - basically the cut that Lily Allen has, until I went in today and found out that it doesn't really work with my hair.  SO annoying.  My hair is too fine for it, so that instead of being a strong fringe, it's still pretty wispy.  I was so very frustrated, because I liked the idea of the cut.  And the nice girl who did it was a little unsure about it, but I said I wanted to at least go ahead and try.  And she started out cutting it a little long, so as soon as she did it I could see that cutting a "short" fringe would never work because my hair just wasn't full enough.  But by then she had at least cut a normal fringe so I had to keep that.  I mean whatever, I always know it will grow out, or I can clip it up.  But I think this is it, the official end of my fringe experiments.  From now on it's sweepy or nothing, I swear!  With fringes it's just a fine line between boring grade-school cut and cool urban cut.  I think that the bright red colour I did this weekend helps though!

So I used this user pic because the cut I ended up with looks a lot like what Veronica has in that picture.  Except that I redyed my hair red so that's different of course.  If I get my act together this weekend I will post before and after pics.  We'll see!  So the end result is that I like the cut okay but I'm pretty disappointed in my hair's inability to do something cool.
