Anyone else who totally forgot that KROQ.com was streaming Night Two of their Almost Acoustic Christmas concert should head over right now to catch the end of Snow Patrol's set. I'm so sad that I forgot and missed Chasing Cars! *pouts* Mind you, I didn't catch ANY of Night One last night as I'd forgotten that they stream it at all. Oh, well, I only missed She Wants Revenge and most of SP for this one.

I finished all my early deadline Christmas shopping yesterday; it is all now wrapped, tagged and boxed. Ooo but I need to throw the cards in there still. *writes post-it b/c I will lose a mental note* All my other cards are now the purview of Canada Post. So yeah, expect them when you see them, then. *snerk*

I got my hair cut yesterday - not changed, just so's it's not poking me in the eyes anymore, etc. - and my stylist told me about this new dye. They don't stock it (not enough demand) but she can order it, and it's finally a true permanent red dye. Aka, fire engine red that *doesn't* fade in a month, or at all. Also aka a total commitment because the only ways to rid oneself of it are to grow it out or dye a dark colour overtop. I need to think about that. I need to redo mine currently; was gonna do it last weekend but I went to hockey instead, and today I just slept in for houuuuuurs. I'm getting a bit of a cold and I haven't been sleeping well, so I just said fuck it and stayed in bed. But I have enough dye to do mine twice more and I can't return it so I'll obviously use it, and then I'll have to think about whether I want to commit to the permanent version. Actually, aside from wanting to see a proper sample of what the colour really looks like b/c I haven't liked all of the pro bright reds I've seen, my only reason to hesitate is linked to me leaving, and therefore a) being probably unable to access the same kind of dye, and b) not sure if I'll keep the vivid red or go to a more natural colour before I go. As much as I absolutely LOVE the way it looks right now, I'm pragmatic enough to realise it'd prolly be a handicap when looking for a job. Though a big part of me wants to say too bad they'll have to take me as is.

I totally need to make a post about that whole leaving thing as some stuff's been done and some decisions made, and I still need to do my SF post too, assuming anyone's still interested lol. Ha no, I'll make it anyway so that I can remember everything! The problem with waiting and writing up a Master Post, as sick_of_me has termed it, is that the glut of information becomes a little overwhelming and I end up staring at Word with my mind going blank, even when it was all running rampant through my head five minutes ago.

I also finished decorating the tree today - looks basically the same as last year, in the same spot since it's the only place big enough that doesn't also have a heater. We put the lights up last weekend, along with pretty damn close to the entire neighbourhood. *giggles* Aside from the crazy lady across the street, who has had her giant inflatable candy canes on her lawn since November 1st!
