I'm recycling a picture from back in August! Wow, my hair was really short then. It's a lot longer now, and a lot less blonde. I wish I could have it blonde again but I can't afford the upkeep so I end up with really ugly, dark roots. Maybe once I am gainfully employed! I was just telling Wing Chun on ICQ last night that when I got a job I am going to get regular manicures and eyebrow waxings. Woo hoo!

Boy, it got cold here all of a sudden. It was in the low 70's all weekend - just beautiful weather. And then there was snow in the air this morning! I am having a hard time typing because it's so cold in the house and my fingers are a little numb.

I am trying to do a modified Carbohydrate's Addict Diet. Basically, I'm just trying to cut down on my carbohydrates (since I frequently eat meals that are nothing BUT carbohydrates), cut down on sugar and increase vegetables, and also to watch my portions. It's nothing drastic because it's not really a diet - more of a lifestyle change I'm trying to make. I'm doing OK with it so far except for that pesky leftover Halloween candy. We did not get one trick-or-treater! So far I've limited myself to one Reese's Cup and a handful of Twizzlers since Sunday, which is a lot less than I would normally have.

I took the Saturn in to get new windshield wipers and an oil change today. The guy saw my supergush bumper sticker and started asking me about them. Turns out he's a huge fan! I was telling him about the website and their new CD coming out in January and he was all excited. He told his co-worker about the band, and said, "They're local right now but probably not for long because they're really good!" That was so cool. I mean, I know the band has fans beyond their friends and family, but I rarely see or hear from them. Then the girl I had to give my check to used to work with Randy, so I was telling her how he's living in Texas and just had a baby. All my worlds were converging.

Well, I have recaps to do so I'll save the story of the wedding and reception for tomorrow, I guess. See you later.

There's something to the idea that at some point all our information resources will be exhausted. However, I think that people will continue to come with new ways to entertain and inform with the same resources.

I really, really, really hope Dr. Laura loses this lawsuit. She slandered a surf shop owner on her radio show because he carried a magazine called Big Brother, that she felt was pornographic. The owner pulled the magazine and says he never even ordered it. Having a boyfriend who worked in the magazine industry, I can tell you that wholesalers (particularly local ones) often drop off magazines that the store didn't order.

I really like West Wing. And it's on tonight!
