i have been listening to the Magnetic Fields 3-disc set, 69 Love Songs, something bordering on obsessively ever i finally managed to acquire a copy about a week and a half ago. it makes me so very happy.
the Faux Bridesmaid Party was a rousing success, and we have completed nearly all the cleanup -- it's amazing. i actually managed to use curlers to great effect, combined with an updo and a whole lot of what the guy at the salon assure me was the strongest hairspray around. i've never been this cruel to my hair before, but i have to say it does look strangely awesome. and i have ideas of how to do a better job next time -- and that's the scariest part, that i think that there will be next time i do something like this. aiee. i am definitely not wearing lavender (i borrowed a bridesmaid gown from my housemate E., as i have never been a bridesmaid) next time. i am against pastels.
tomorrow my plan is to work on Game for a few hours, clean my room, and then work on Game again until i need to go to sleep. thing is, my brothers are coming to visit, and so i should make my room at least marginally presentable. so that both of them can fit on the futon that is currently half covered in stuff because i don't need that half to sleep on alone, for example. hmm. maybe i'm more tired than i thought, given the roundabout nature of that sentence. actually, the idea of staying home all day tomorrow is strangely appealing, despite the fact that i was already home all day today preparing for the party. but that didn't really count as being home. ooh. maybe i'll go get rid of some of the clothes in my closet that no longer fit me, as i am still feeling strangely awake despite it being midnight, a reasonable bedtime for me even when i haven't been doing lots of work all day.
hmm. i wonder if it's okay to sleep in this hairspray crap or if i should wash it all out tonight. gah, i hate washing hair in the evening. it tends to look very strange in the morning. but my pillow will probably thank me for washing it out tonight. and it's not as if anyone but my housemates will see me tomorrow... famous last words, i'm sure. incidentally, if you are looking for an excellent shellacking hairspray, "Hard Head" by the brand Bed Head is extremely effective. and it comes in a bold silver cylindrical aerosol-type can. i like silver.
strangely, while i still don't really feel *tired* exactly, my eyes are not wanting to focus properly on the screen. perhaps that is a hint.
