emjayne! 25 is a good year, as I recall.
Day 4 of new haircut. I washed it this morning and am cautiously pleased. It's sad to be still getting the hang of hairdryers and circular brushes at the age of 29, but what are you gonna do? Actually I leapt out of bed at 5 to 8 when I remembered I had a conference call at 9 (Tuesdays are always like this -- at least it took my mind off my freezing cold bedroom). Had to take a taxi; the driver didn't quite seem to grasp the notion that if I wanted to be stuck in traffic on Sherbrooke, I'd have taken the bus! Finally cracked at Drummond at 5 to 9 and said "Monsieur, je suis un peu en retard -- c'est possible de prendre Dr. Penfield?" He answered to the effect of "Sure, you have to be there by 9?" Um, YES.
Today's Dilbert is all too hideously relevant. Also very funny.
Maher Arar is home and doesn't seem to bear a grudge. So far. Forbearing guy. What has bugged me (and apparently Amnesty International) about this whole case is, why the hell hasn't Foreign Affairs been raising a ruckus about the States shipping a Canadian citizen travelling on a Canadian passport off to Syria? And, um, NO INQUIRY? Why the hell not? It may be time for me to write my MP...
oh right, time to work now.

Hair dryers and round brushes...

Date: 2003-10-07 09:41 am (UTC)The round brush and blow dryer I have finally more-or-less gotten the hang of. R, if you remind me of the hair panic before H's wedding, I may be forced to tease you back! Now, if I could just get the hang of my fancy dancy professional curling iron. I am ALMOST wishing I'd bought a straightening iron instead, but my old stylist recommended this one, so. . .
And today, I am reverting back to 18 -- which is about how old I look. I am wearing braids, because the ends of my hair are getting ratty and need attention. Mom reminded me I should be braiding it before I ride so that it doesn't get damaged. I had forgotten that about long hair. And jeans, because there really is no dress code here, and I wanna. So there!
