there are two things i am currently obsessing about:
item the first: finding the perfect new hairstyle.
i've had dark brown hair going on five years now. before that i had dirty blonde hair (SHOCK!) that was, and still is on a bad day, super straight without any help from my trusty flat iron. with a brief stint of red hair in the first few months of my undergrad, i developed a sort of hatred for the short, reddish purple hair atop my head--until now. perusing old photos i feel so nostalgic toward shorter hair that generally did not eat up most of my time with styling and that the red i chose faded into my natural colour to prevent roots and make something magical. i have decided on the colour i want (hmm red perhaps?) but the style is completely lost on me. summer is approaching quickly and, though we are very fortunate to have the "spring" season that normally lasts two weeks stay much longer, i find myself struggling to create something new. it was so easy when i was fifteen. it was a risk and i wanted it. choosing a new colour or style isn't the greatest use of my time but it's part of my whole make-summer-worth-it-and-your-own-and-not-a-waste mantra, theme or what have you.
item the second: nine.
i am obsessed with musicals. okay obsessed in a certain kind of way: i have not seen rent, i love phantom of the opera, moulin rouge! changed my life in grade ten and chicago was superb. of course across the universe came my way and i loved that as well as old timey films such as seven brides for seven brothers and who could forget the musical episode of buffy way back when. oh yes, i took you there. but i saw a trailer for the film nine, about an italian director and his story with and around his wife, mistress(es) and making a film. maybe it's because i love nicole kidman and long for her moulin rouge! days that make me want to see this movie so badly. or maybe it's because i spent all of last weekend watching gangs of new york and falling deeply in love with daniel day-lewis. it's probably the latter. apparently i have a thing for older men. you don't say!(cough keith murray cough)
anyway it looks sultry and wonderful and daniel day-lewis looks sleazy in the kind of way that i would still say, "yeah, okay. you're not half-bad" even when he is possibly ALL bad.
