time for a change

so i dyed my hair the other day.....
what do you guys think? (the flash made it more orange than it should be...)

if you dont like it, it will no doubt return to it's previous color in about 2 weeks- i think i've damaged my hair so much that it cant retain color anymore. i've been thinking that this will be my last dye job for quite some time so that my hair can recover.

findings

while cleaning my room, i've found a number of interesting things, this being among them:

This little rarity is a paul jackson quarter. mr. jackson is a columbia native who constantly seesaws between respected local artist and village idiot. most mizzou attendees from 2000-2004 know him as the crazy man who decided to construct a large tiger mosaic (known as the tiger spot) right in the middle of lowry mall (three guesses as to how well a mosaic fares in nasty mo weather, in a part of campus that regularly floods...). needless to say, there was a large tent over the spot for at least 2 years, heated debate over whether or not damage to the mosaic was done by vandals or weather, and a consistent stream of repairs (still ongoing): a prime example of my mizzou tuition dollars going to waste.

paul jackson is also infamous around here for his protest of the state quarter design. his original design was changed by the engravers, so he made stickers of the original design and put them on thousands of quarters. i think he was investigated by the fbi or something.... anyway, somehow i've gotten a hold of one, and it's an interesting piece of local history.

overall room picture to follow later.

slow and steady...

notice how much smaller the pile of clothes is...and i have it separated, sort of...

many of you may be wondering why i'm posting pictures of my room progress, and i guess it's so i have a little accountablility. if i dont make progress, then i wont have anything to post....and i'm sure that you all are hooked, right?

establishing order.....somewhat

well, i didnt get much done on the room today. william had a bunch of his laundary in the washer already, and for some reason he tends to cram the equivilant of 4 loads into one....so i had to dry all of his clothes before i could even start on mine. also, i had to go to band practice (more on that later) and walmart, and target. so, in short, i did one load of laundary- and it was already downstairs in the basket before i took the first picture. i put away a big lump of laundary (it was to the left of my bed) that was already clean, and i threw away some trash and took some dishes downstairs. i also changed my sheets and made my bed. and even though you cant see my desk (except for the red corner in the bottom right), i cleaned that off, too. i'm hoping that i'll get more done tomorrow.

this is indeed a disturbing universe.

who can guess what i'm doing today?
