Sup Gringa

Posted on by

For LM, iperp extraordinare, and helo B. Dewey. I would describe it as sort of a purpley color. I try to move towards red in the summer, but I have like 47 bottles of fuchsia in the closet right now, so what ya gonna do when they come for you? It’s a lot like when we were iperps together, I think. Halo was just here and she said it reminded her of Ye Olde Days. (like Ye Olde Days when I did not have this muffin top. Sniff.)

And you can see here that my hair matches my face, which matches the rose I am drinking. Yum!

I also want to say that I resolved my grumpity hair crisis. A friend turned me on to Oohla’s in Fremont. I go to Michelle, and let me say that she is brassy, funny, and covered in tattoos, so you can bet that we don’t get along at all. She is totally doing right by my hair and is fun to talk to to boot. Michelle has also cut my giant hedge of hair down, so it no longer looks like a “giant blob” as she put it. (It was.) And I have seen her doing “normal” hair too, and she does a good job with that as well. If anyone is interested, do make an appointment and tell her SJ sent ya.

Today I am also interested in the phenomenon of Domestic Discipline, as linked to by Flea on her guest stint on Feministe. You dirty, dirty Christians. Why did you not tell me you were getting up to these sorts of things? Seriously, this is a point in favor of conversion.

Also, OMG, my kid is spending the night at her teacher’s house tonight. Her teacher was foolish enough to auction herself off as a slumber party hostess, so it’s a win, win, winwinwin. Except maybe for the teacher. Well, whatevs. Franny can go party down, and I can get the night off from reading Ramona and Beezus.

PS, watch this PSA from El Fonz from the amazing year 1984. Strong kids, safe kids. It also features my posthumous boyfriend John Ritter.

  1. Aww, pretty! Also ZOMG we’re tewtally colourbuddies!1eleventy Mine’s the fudgey raspberry beret one, which isn’t quite the same, and gets all over everything. Which I hope yours doesn’t.

  2. Dude, Ramona and Beezus is awesome. It was one of my favorites.

    And there is NOTHING WRONG with muffin top. Kind of. Not really. Except it means one should either get clothes that fit or fit the clothes one has. It’s a hard decision.

  3. Apropros of nothing here — has anyone watched Running with Scissors? I held out until I could hold out no more. I was afraid it would be awful. Buuuuuuut, it’s not so so bad. The exterior of the house is not what I imagined, but the set decorator did an awesome job on the kitchen. Thoughts?

  4. I couldn’t really read this through the green haze that clouded my eyes upon gazing once again on that perfect fucking complexion. I am going to send some skin glue disguised as expensive placenta-based cream to clog up your pores, you bitch.

  6. When I see your hair, I think of flowers. Pretty, pretty flowers in the Spring.

    If I had your groovy coloring (eyes also) I would totally try to be a Spring flower but I think I’ll stick with my mud-colored hair (the early pre-flower Spring look). Someday, perhaps.

  8. Hey, you probably don’t know who I am, but I’m one of those MATY folks who read more than they post, and I just want to… er… this is where it gets awkward. I just wanted to say I like what you write. I’ve back-read your blog after linkage by rohina, and I got kind of stuck in it, and then decided that it’s best to let people know if I like what they do. So I’m letting you know. And also, you seem to be awesome.

  10. No, not at all. I was complaining of being bored, and thought that the internets had run out of funny, so she mercy-linked me on teh IRCs. She’s on Ur IRCs, linkin some sitez.

  12. Oh hey! You have quite the excellent blog. Amazing hair – let me guess, it’s one of those Special Effects colours? I say this because my hair used to be that colour too, except short and spiky.

    I’ll be watching your blog, missy! ‘Cause you’re not at chat/forum anymore.

  13. If you need a break from Ramona, might I recommend the Clementine books by Sara Pennypacker? (There are 2 so far, and more apparently coming soon.) We’re crazy about them over here.

    Just so you get a sense of them: In the first one Clementine starts right out by cutting off all her friend’s hair. In the school bathroom. Then she answers the principal’s phone while the principal is out calming the friend’s mom down and orders a whole bunch of things. Then more stuff happens like that. They’re a dream to read out loud.
