Herein lies the tragic, tragic tale of The Girl Who Felt Horrible at Tenimyu: ( sickness and gross stuff go here )
But enough about that, let's talk about fun things!
Yesterday, I bought a turkey! And Emily and I got our hair cut! I hope she posts a picture of her new do, because she looks adorable. Mine is shorter (not as short as the last cut, though) and my first colour experiment was a success! Not quite as dramatic as I was originally thinking, since it would have taken too long to do the full dye -- as it was, I slipped into the theatre after the show had started -- but lots of pale gold highlights on top. I like. The colourist seemed loath to do anything to my hair, though; she said it was "mottainai" since she liked my natural colour so much. This isn't the first time a Japanese hairstylist has said so, and now I'm wondering whether a) people here are actually trying for a used-to-be-blonde-but-isn't-anymore colour, and b) why anyone would aim for that colour to begin with. It's not a bad colour, it just... isn't very interesting.
Since I went short last year, I've been amusing myself in the mornings by comparing my bedhead to various tenipuri characters' coiffures. I've gone through the Eiji, the Oshitari Kenya, the Tezuka, and managed a passable Yagyuu; I fully expect to wake up with a Hiyoshi someday soon. XD
Speaking of things tennis-related, I saw the latest chapter of tenimyu twice this weekend. ( What did I think? )
All right, enough of that, I need to eat something. Also, I want to clean up my apartment some. At least that way, my day won't have been completely mottainai.
