More on Hair

I've been procrastinating writing anything, mostly because I know there are more important things to be doing. On the other hand sometimes those more important things don't get done either because I'm avoiding and procrastinating. At occasional moments in the day I'll remind myself, 'what better way to procrastinate, than to procrastinate doing something you -also- need to be doing but is in theory easier.' I say in theory because there must be something difficult about writing in my blog, I don't just do it on a regular basis, I avoid, I wait, I forget, etc.

One thing I wanted to write last week was on one of the recurring topics here, that of hair. I saw a girl with a ponytail, and the hair itself would have been best described as 'ropy.' I don't know if ropy is a word, I'm sure it is by now, but it looked like.. not exactly rope, but maybe untwisted rope, so that there were wavy clumps hanging down together. I really liked the look, and realized that it wasn't the first time I'd seen it. I'd seen it before, but I think what brought it out to me was the pony tail PLUS the ropyness. Once I noticed it my mind then connected it to several other heads of hair I admired, and realized that I'd seen this ropy look, not just in ponytails, but in other styles as well, hanging down, partially pinned back, and definitely in conjunction with the forehead cap look.

About mysefl

You may not think mysefl is a word, but I just made it one.

I was reading/catching up as much as small time allowed over on dooce.com, a fact that I don't like to admit, honestly, it's just too depressing to read a blog that is that fun to read, and here my blog languishes.

I haven't even kept up with reports on my reading. I completed Neuromancer and decided it really only needs a short bit of praise from me:

There's a reason it's won all those awards, yes it is good, I suggest sci fi fans read it if they have any respect for themselves.

I will go beyond that original thought, and offer my version of the gist of the book: An unlikely hero is recruited for a cyberspace mission, and along the way meets a distant but inevitably in-love-with-him female who disappears at the end of the book. The detail is very good. What I noticed throughout was the almost painful dedication to the first person narrative, everything taking place from the perspective of the hero, to the point where certain technological advances are invented for the sole purpose of maintaining that tack.

Back to dooce.com for a sec, I also like the layout etc, and how the entries are laid out colored, set apart, you know that aesthetic stuff. I just don't have the time or energy to learn how to make my blog right. I wonder if I worked through typepad, and got myself a space out there I would have better luck looking like I want? Probably but again, time investment is required.

I have to get some stuff done here at work, so that's the end of this one. I didn't even get to talk about myself, which was the whole reason for the entry, talking about oneself being what Heather does.
