( Garden daydreaming )

( Materialistic daydreaming...it's OK if the stuff is second-hand, isn't it? )

Mostly up till this point I haven't been thinking about it, but as soon as I start daydreaming, it becomes clear that waiting three months to move is going to kill meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I should distract myself with Art in the Park, but I am not that smart or that productive. Instead I ate dinner on the patio, disinfected my garden shears, pruned my rose (which is budding most encouragingly!), and went for my daily constitutional bike ride. This last, btw, I totally kicked the ass of. Not only did I make it to the Island Park bridge, I went a little bit past it, finally stopping and turning around in a park just past the sign that says "parliament hill 5 KM". Since parliament hill is about 11 km from Britannia park, that means I biked about 12km this evening (6 there and back). w00t! Ph34r me, parliament buildings! I will be seeing you soooooooooooon!

Now, of course, I am falling asleep, or I would curl up with foiling and BSG. Plus I am enjoying the smell of the spring air coming in the open window and the delicious smell of the cut flowers mom brought me for my birthday way too much to move. Tomorrow evening, I suppose. RAHHhhhrrzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Ooh, also: google tells me that Manic Panic lasts about as long as whatever pink goo they put in my hair at the salon, that it is available at Rock Junction on Rideau Street, and that it produces approximately this colour on bleached hair:



I was googling in the hopes of tracking down a provider of Illumen, which I hear can produce this colour more permanently, but if I can get the semi-permanent version for ~$30 instead of ~$100? That'll do!

I'm hoarding this idea for sometime when I'm having a particularly lousy and/or impatient day. But when that day comes, I will be the pink-haired poster child for Public Service Renewal once more!!
