Well I don't have a webcam on me right now so I can't post my new red hair, but I did get it dyed a good red last night.
It was the most concentrated red that the Igora dye line by the Schwarzkopf hair products company could provide. For the more hair savvy, it's color code was 0-88. When freshly mixed with the peroxide developer it has a color that looks like semi-congealed blood.
I didn't get the Fire Engine Red I wanted. It probably has to do with not playing with my hair's pH levels with the appropriate hair treatment shampoos they suggest you use. It washed out a little bit but the result is still pretty cool.
It has a slightly luminous quality to it, and possesses a metallic sheen, but is definitely red. not as bright, but I can definitely pull off a Scott Weiland of STP impression

Off to SIngapore this afternoon. I'm still nervous about showing up with this hair but....well, I'm commited to this path.
I'm unsure of internet connectivity because the old family mac died a few months ago. But my sis is bringing her laptop when she returns to singsing so I'll see if I'm savvy enough to hook it up to our singapore cable-modem account.

I had two of the coolest friends - Kelly, he's an English Lit Major from Chicago, and Alanna, she's an English Lit major from Atlanta - at University of Reading stay with me at my friend's apartment in High Street Kensington, London. They were touched by Sarah's kindness. Me and Sarah are a team and we continually crack each other up. She brings out my inner comedy bitch.
We made them a SIngapore style dinner. I did a veggie version of my Mom's Nasi Goreng: translates from Malay as 'Fried Rice'. Good stuff. Sarah made her Sayur Lodeh which translates from the Malay as literally 'Vegetable Mess' LOL!
Kelly is a vegetarian so we adapted as much as we could but Sarah made Ayam Rendang ('Chicken in Rendang Curry') for the meat eaters present...for which I was grateful
ANyway, I really wanted my friends to experience a little of what good food can be had in Asia. I can tell you now, women's hearts can be captured through the stomach too....gastronomy is no less sexy than any other tactic of the desiring paramour. Invite me over sometime and let me prove it

The above was written with Robert Palmer, Simple Minds, Tears for Fears and Spandau Ballet as the background music....am I not cool?

ANyone seen the movie May? It may have just gone straight to video.
Watched it with Kelly last night. It's the kind of weird movie that finds it's way into my heart...though I can see all the holes in it. I really don't know how to describe it.
Angela Bettis plays the main role as a weird young woman emotionally and socially scarred by a perfectionist mom. Unable to find companionship she finally unravels and begins making a perfect friend from the perfect parts of those around her.
In a weird way ANgela is attractive....or maybe I just like weird chicks. Yeah...that's it...I like weird chicks
It was eerie to watch as well, since the way ANgela Bettis's eyes are shaped and set in her face, with sharp cheekbones is very very similar to Linda's. And Linda's an attractive weirdo herself....whew...!
Anna Faris is in it, as the nymphomaniac lesbian receptionist at the ANimal Hospital where Angela's character, May, works. now I find Anna very attractive, but she's crap in her role as an oversexed carpet-muncher who has a flaky desire for May. Not believable at all...though I'm not above finding the bright side in this role.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and while you're there, take a look at the Theatres on the Bay and think of me making the planning model for that about five years ago. Now imagine all those sunshades made individually at 1/200 scale and applied by hand. Two weeks of sheer misery
