Most Popular Poll EVER!

I feel very good about the fact that 20 people voted in the music video accessory blog!! It has been integral to my vision for the Mariah Carey cover song/video that I intend to make sometime, when I'm not feeling so lazy. And it will obviously have to include Sophie in her lacy onesy. And perhaps I can dig up a lacy number or two from my past. I was horrified to come across this photo of myself (and that I posted??) on the facebook that, on second thought, might be perfect for this:

Haircut

Feeling ambitious and very long-haired, I decided it would be a good idea to borrow clippers from Walker and give myself a mohawk. Of course, with the assistance of my personal hairstylist. I have, for many months now, wanted a lightening bolt mohawk. I have even upon occasion spoken to professional hairstylists at Bishops about this desire. And with one exception they have all politely told me that it just can't really be done, that it won't look right. There was one time when a very nice woman did her best and outlined the interesting zig-zag on the back of my head with the edge of the electric razor, a job, that upon relfection, was done with extreme talent.

Anyhow, I remained undeterred. So we lopped off my hair, which is really fun, and did a mostly good job. You can't really tell what the hell is going on in the back, but it's short and hopefully won't grow into an atrocious mullet. I'm thinking I might make the top thinner so I don't look like a rectangle-head. If you are already bored from reading this, I don't blame you and I half-heartedly apoligize for my personal hair obessions.

Here is the flappy, zig-zag back:

Here is the bald spot mess up where I tried to do stripes. Might try that again:

Dinner Party

Sophie informed me on Sunday evening that we were having company over for dinner on Monday. Truth be told, I was a little knackered from my recent trip to Oberlin to visit my sister for her 21st birthday. But she had prepared the soup and brownies the day prior and it took little effort for me to prepare some broccoli au gratin and some salad materials. I found the dinner quite enjoyable. Paige and Meg brought over three large boxes of kitchen supplies that they no longer need and now I am in the position to cook all of the things that I never before imagined for my semi-adult life. Amy also brought some lovely Argentinian Malbec with a pretty label and I had picked out a Columbia Crest that did well for our dinner. But the real crown on the dinner was the Maker's Mark that sealed the deal and led to some episodes as this:















Amy does a little Magic Eye on the pillow and Sophie sings...

Halloween

Sophie as Waldo's Wife With Child:

















And myself as Beef Stew, inspired by Sam's video. What you don't see here is that I also had the opportunity to wear my poop brown puff coat out for real:



I ended up going to a fun party where I met a man dressed as a troll, a man dressed as his boss at his beer brewing job, a girl dressed as "A Lesbian" in a mechanic's jumpsuit and hung out with new friends. There are photos of that on the facebook. I also ate four butterfingers, two lollipops, a snickers and some chips. All in all, not bad.
