fly in the vaseline
Sep. 23rd, 2013 04:01 pmI had no idea that there was such a science to wearing a wig. Or maybe it's an art. Either way, my hair keeps going >poof< and exploding out from under it despite many precariously placed hairpins.
I have purchased a stocking cap and we'll see if that works better tomorrow.
-----------
In my search for said stocking cap I braved the mall next to my work. There is a Canadian Tire in that mall and lately I've been bitching about how useless it has become - every time I go in there searching for some kind of hardware related house thing, they just don't have what I'm looking for. When I wandered by today I realized why. They have redone the entire first floor and it now is full of gleaming cuppacino makers and hip-looking designer crockery. I guess they've decided to reinvent themselves as a department store and they they need to be prepared for the opening of the swank new condos going up on the corner.
So I wandered around looking at kitchen porn for 20 minutes. You'd think a person who can't cook wouldn't so be interested. Maybe it's because I can't cook, but I find all the gazingus fascinating.
The one thing they have that actually intrigued me is a Sodastream machine. I find almost all sodas to be way too sweet for me, so the idea of having a way of making my own is kind of appealing. (I wouldn't bother with their pre-made syrups.)
Also, there has to be some interesting potential there for weird and interesting cocktails.

Living with a cat continues to be... educational. He tends to come up behind me when I'm online and chirp for attention and I've gotten into the habit of putting my hand down and scritching his head when he leans into me. So the other day I did that and while I was petting him I suddenly realized that my hand was wet.
So I looked down and he had somehow managed to get a big splodge of shit right on the top of his head. Cue me running around after him with paper towels while he trotted back and forth happily convinced that we were playing some kind of wonderful new game.
He's seriously lucky that he's so adorable.
I wonder if we'll get our usual mouse invasion this fall.
