Um, it must be the sunshine, but I’m looking red headed today. Is it just me? You decide. Please forgive the no makeup and barely brushed hair. I can barely keep my eyes open today. On the plus side, I have my parking tags for school and most of my books are here. Yay.
I am so digging the new earrings Leon got me as part of my early birthday presents. What? I didn’t post about those? Oh ho ho, I shall have to do that promptly. My birthday presents this year are KICKIN. I know, I know, the big 3-0 isn’t until the 11th, but we don’t do well with waiting in this house. Immediate gratification is king.
I leapt out of bed this morning* to start my day. Last night, I’d dreamt I was going to have a great day and it was the first night in over a week that I’d had pleasant dreams. With my newfound hope, I’d decided not to cut off my mid-back length hair, which has been driving my crazy lately.
Recently, I’d purchased what I thought was an amazing deal from my local Walgreens. For $3.99, I got a Studio 35 Hair Care pack that contained multiple claw clips in various sizes, a couple of clips to hold my bangs back and some hair ties. I’d been delighted at your price, and though you were not my beloved Goody brand, I grabbed you for your sheer thrifty value.
I’d yet to open your product and my eyes were still slightly bleary from sleep**. I had it in mind to do my long, luscious hair in some American Indian brains and then pull them up into a bun. It was going to be glorious, because that’s what you do with long hair you don’t want to chop off. I went to pull off a claw clip and it didn’t move.
This is when I decided to open war upon you. I flipped over your generic packaging and saw that not only did you have each clip tied onto your cardboard packaging with not one, but TWO aluminum ties, you’d also put packaging tape over the entire backside. As I cursed your name and attempted to get tape off my hand, like a cat in a household of boys (or me) who thinks it’s funny to watch the cat try to get tape off its hand, I stomped and grimaced and decided that no hair was worth your crap.
I want to cut my hair off. And it’s all thanks to you, Studio 35 hair care. Because if I don’t have hair, I don’t need your stupid products. 25 minutes after I started opening your package, I was able to get out the items I needed to do my amazing bun and ended up looking like a triceratops with a drug problem.
I’ll never forsake Goody again. A pox on your company.
Sincerely,
Jillian

I found the concept of this both disconcerting and interesting. The idea behind this is that, during heavy rains, drivers were not as careful as they could be and it was causing casualties. After implementation of the billboard, there were zero fatalities that year. My question is this, what if, on the days of the year that we have the most drunk drivers, we should implement billboards that “bleed” on our interstates cautioning against drunk driving, would they have a similar effect? What are your thoughts? Watch the video and let me know.
Music has an amazing ability to transform me from an analytical, logical, reasoning mind-machine into a mushy-gushy piece of plant-material. I was just reading a post from my fellow blogger Nic at My Bottle’s Up and she’d posted a youtube video that had music that so moved me, with two of my favorite songs played by two of my favorite instruments, that I felt REQUIRED to share this with you. You MUST listen to this. You must, you must, you must…please…
And when you are done, vote for me. But listen to this first. I am in heaven. Beautiful. Just beautiful.
