Bellini-induced Brain Freeze

It's all just a little bit of history repeating. It's definitely Spring, a season I love. Time for change, metamorphosis, rejuvenation, all that jazz. But somethings don't seem to change much. Or if they do it's in a cycle. I had decided I had had enough with growing out my hair. Time for a haircut, as I'm always apt to do around my birthday. So, chop chop. That same night I was showing someone a picture of me and my friends from 7 years ago and wouldn't you know it my hair is pretty much identical to that picture. Which also made me wonder how whenever I go to a stylist looking for a completely fresh new look...something different that I've never done before, it never fails to look pretty much the same. The whole rounded bob business. I guess that's just what works for me and all the stylists seem to come to that consensus. That same night a guy from back in the day was back in super-flirt mode. The problem with him is I don't know if he's just ...

Where's the love? Technology is not my friend right now. A shame, really, since I love my little gadgets. Computer is still being a brat. It goes through a cycle of 1, 2, sometimes 3 resets before I can finally login sometimes. This next complaint is more esthetics but...I've cracked the rubber lining on my iPod headphones. Civic and I went scouring the stores for a replacement pair (since we doubt I could get a new set with my warranty since it still works sublimely...it just looks ghetto, is all) but all they have to offer now are those in-ear earbuds. I want the regular earbuds. *sigh* My dad, ever my hero, "fixed" it up with some blue electrical tape, but I still want a nice-looking pair. My latest celly, "The Hotness," all of a sudden has a dysfunctional camera. I know it used to work. But who knows when it conked out on me 'cuz I'm not one to use the camera function regularly. So I took it to my friendly tech boys who sent it away. N...

Find a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck. So in the past 4 days I have found 20 dollars on the ground and a cell phone. I felt bad for whoever lost the 20 dollars...but it's kind of funny how quickly that guilt fades away. It wasn't like I found a whole wallet so I could trace who the bill belonged to. And posting it on the board would just be stupid. I also feel kind of bad for the guy who lost his cell phone. I had noticed it on Saturday morning on my way to work. It looked dead to me at the time so I figured someone tossed it 'cuz it was trashed. Fast forward to today: Monday. The cell phone is still on the ground, in the snow, and my curiosity couldn't do without plucking it up. And lo and behold, the celly was still kicking. With all the snow and cold and wetness all around it, it survived. Sturdy little mofo. I'm still not a big fan of Nokias despite being a witness to this durable little miracle. I meant to call during my lun...

Blast from the past Some things never change, huh? And in the relative scheme of things that means I'm even better off than I thought. A co-worker/pal from back in the day called a couple of nights back. It's been so long since her and I have had any time to hang out together. Anyway, the conversation turned to how I'm now taking salsa lessons which in turn evolved into a discussion about SoHo. And so she says: "Yeah, I was there a couple of Saturdays ago. What's-his-face was there...back to his old tricks, huh?" As I've mentioned before, none of my friends ever really liked him...but I'm an Aries and we're bullheaded like that. Anyway, I know my friend knows I don't hang with him anymore...but I DON'T think I ever told her that he's got a kid in tow now and, last I cared to hear, was engaged no less. So, although her mention of him somewhat piqued my curiosity I figured I didn't need to give her another reason to validate her...

Freeze frame My computer has been bratty lately. Not sure what's up but I'll ask Weird Kid about it sometime. Maybe Civic, too. Today was my follow-up at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre. I cannot believe I am now in my 4th year since finishing the radiation treatments and all. The MRI came out well, the lung x-ray came out well. I thought this was going to be my last year but he figured they'd keep me around for a few more years. I really don't mind. A couple of hours a year to give myself peace of mind is well worth it. However, I did graduate today from my cancer dentist. Whatever graduating from their program means (the dentist said those exact words "graduated from our program" quite a few times). She also gave me a sheet -- which apparently they had also given me way back when all this began -- about what to expect in the future and for the rest of my life blah blah. She did circle on there a note about a certain procedure my regular dentist had bee...
