One ticket to Fucking, please

This is too funny. There is a village in Austria called Fucking.

Fucking, Austria

DAMAGE!!

Holy crapola, we had a huge-ass storm down here!! At last estimate there were about 500,000 homes without power, and 70% of the traffic lights here in St Louis were not functioning, either because there was no electric, or they had been blown down. And yes, that is about half a mile from my house. At work we had a tree down in the parking lot. The day after the storm I was driving around to gawk at the damage (yes, I also rubberneck at accidents) and saw this. There's still quite a few people down here without power, but hopefully everything will be back to normal soon.

To dye, or to just give up

Every time recently that I've dyed my hair, it comes out waaay too dark. It's supposed to be a medium red shade, but no matter what the box claims, my hair has been turning this dark reddish black, almost. And let me tell you, it does not look good on me at all. Remember when Ashlee Simpson had black hair, and with her pale skin, somehow it made her eyes look completely fucked up? Yeah, that's kinda how this dark hair looks on me, except my makeup is tasteful. I can't even blame trying new brands or shades, because some of these incidents have occured when I used a shade that I've used before with good results. What the fuck!?

I don't know if I should keep trying or just fucking give up and let it be its natural gross browny-grey color. What do you think? Has anyone that reads this had this kind of problem? I'm starting to think my hair is just fucked up.

I have the whole fucking day off

And I plan to spend it dying my hair, dying Von's hair, watching "Best Of" Saturday Night Live DVDs, and clubbing in the evening with some friends, at least one of whom will be spending the night. Life rocks. Haircut sometime this week or next, and -get this- I am also off Tuesday!! When you consider my last day off was May 23rd, this is really fucking awesome. :D

Also, I bought new sheets at Wally World today. They're make of some kind of T-shirty jersey cotton stuff, and they're navy blue. When I realized in the store I have never had sheets darker than a powdery blue or pale lemon colour, I thought "Fuck yes I am getting the navy ones!" Cause I'm cool like that. As soon as they come out of the laundry I'm puttin' them on the bed and sleeping in them. Yeah!
