Not as in "Boooo! Hiss!" or "Booo-urns!" but boooooo as in scary boooooo.
I saw A Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D last night. It was so fun. I love that movie! I'm a sucker for stop-motion animation and (non-sappy) musicals. This and James and the Giant Peach are two of my favorite movies.
I know you've seen by now the ads for Secret Clinical Strength antiperspirant. I was going to get over my shock at the almost $8 price tag and try some. Luckily I decided to read the label first. I thought they were using some new ingredient that made it stronger than regular antiperspirants. Nope, they're using the same Aluminum Zirconium Trichlorohydrex GLY that they've always used. This time is 20% instead of 19%.
Not worth 3 times the price.
Especially not when I can get Mitchum (for women) with 20% Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex GLY for the same price or less than regular Secret. I don't know the difference between Trichlorohydrex and Tetrachlorohydrex, but 4 is more than 3 so maybe it's better. Either way, Secret Clinical Strength can gather dust on Target's shelf.
So I saw my friend at work walking with this guy. I thought it was her boyfriend, but it wasn't, and I told her I think he's cute. So then I was all, "Ask him if he dates black girls." She asked him and he said he doesn't care about color.
Then he was all, "Who wants to know?" and she was all, "She'll be at my Halloween party. You can meet her there." He was like, "I want to know now," but she went, "No, you have to wait."
So then she had a happy hour and I totally went to it. The guy was there and it was kind of cool, 'cuz I got to talk to him and stuff, but then at the end of the night, my other friend was all, "That guy is a jerk," and I was like, "Yeah, he kind of is." So that was it.
But then today, my friend was all, "OMG. Right after the happy hour, he totally called me and asked if you were the girl." I was all, "No way!" and she was all "Yes way!" She was like, "You don't know it's her," and he was like "She was the only black girl there." She went, "But I didn't say the girl was coming to the happy hour." Then he was all, "Well, whatever. I really like her. She's cool."
I know, right?!
So anyway, he totally doesn't know for sure that it's me. But I told my friend to tell him that she thinks I might be interested and see what he says.
The 5th Annual [Samsara]'s Birthday Slumber Party is going to include a talent show. I'm going to do magic for my act.
I went to JCR Magic yesterday, bought some products, and got a lesson on how to perform the effects. The owner also gave me the three rules of magic:
1. Do not reveal to anyone - ANYONE - how the magic works.
2. Do not perform the magic more than once per show.
3. Do not perform the magic unless I can do it well.
... you thought I was exaggerating about the hair situation: Yesterday and today I got compliments on my hair from random people. And today it's just up in a ponytail.
Take that, crappy beauticians!
I took a shot at calling a JCPenney salon in Austin to have my hair done. They gave me an appointment with Anna. She was fantastic! My hair feels just like it did after a visit to my old stylist in Dallas. There is no goo in it like after all 3 of the others I tried. It's straight and shiny. It moves. I am so happy!
