Why Not?Category: randomo
I have 3 weddings to go to this summer. THREE. Two of them are in the hometown vacinity which is a 4 hour drive and the other is on LONG effin ISLAND which is...I don't know...`100 hours away. Now don't get me wrong...my brother getting married and my best from highschool and two of Felly and I's friends from NEw Paltz getting married and all well and good, but damn. What a pain in the ass.
Also, the trip to Florida has reconfirmed my aversion to flying. It just feels totally and utterly wrong to me. Human beings were not meant to fly. Period. The plane we took from the Buff to JFK was SO small...2 seats on either side and a walkway down the middle. The last plane I was on was an international flight to Brussels and it was HUGE compared to that little dinky toy plane. I could feel every turn, every lift and every descent and needless to say I felt like I was on a rollercoaster for an hour straight. Not that I don't like rollercoasters either, but you know how sometimes when there is no line and they ask you if you want to go again and you do and then you want to vomit. Yeah. Like that. The plane to Tampa was slightly better, as we were in the air much longer and gave me time to adjust to the constant movement, but I can't say that I enjoyed it. I guess some people do, but not me. Who am I kidding? I don't even like merry-go-rounds!
I have one more paper to rewrite before the semester is officially over. This Prof. always gives way longer for final papers than the others, which generally is a nice idea but, it is very difficult for me to want to go back to a paper when I have taken a week off of fun and sun in Florida. My mind and my body are still in vacation mode and I don't wanna write no stinkin paper. Meh.
Oh yes...and there are a few pics in (e:Fellyconnelly) 's most recent post that show my shortened hair for those who are interested.

Do you drink? I'd recommend having a little something to take the edge off.

I was thinking your hair would be almost Felly short. But it still looks fabulous PLUS you got to donate some to a good cause. Rockin'

$40 and a bag o' hairSo, I did. I chopped off the majority of my hair. I will put up pics soon. I went to the New Age Salon and although I had to break down and spend $40...$29 for the cut plus tip, I must say it was pretty worth it. It's super nice in there. Smells all head shoppy but not in that gross kind of way. There are cute wide almost bed type benches to lounge in while you wait and stack of ArtVoice's to keep you occupied.
The woman who did my hair was also super cute. Julie I think. Anyway, when she washed my hair she was more like massaging my head, which I am a sucker for. And although she did that thing that alllll hairdressers like to do: put ridiculous amounts of "product" in my hair, I was really happy with the final result, although I did have to shower to get all that gunk out. It took over an hour for the entire process, which is probably the most time I have spent in a hair salon since I went to my Junior Prom. I guess it's just not my thing.
But my hair feels like summer to me. It moves and bounces and shit and it dried in less than an hour after my shower last night. Usually it takes at least two plus for a complete air dry. Now I can go to Florida and not have to pack extra shampoo and conditioner for my ridiculously long locks.
I have a bag of hair sitting on my desk. All other times I have donated my hair the salon has taken care of that stuff for me, but I think locks of love is changing. They don't list salons that participate anymore on their website and unlike last time, my cut certainly was not free. But its all good.
Oh yes, and I have 5 more days untill my semester is (almost) over. I have a half assed paper due Monday. A pseudo presentation on Tuesday and a big ass final paper on Wednesday AND THEN on Thursday Felly and I are going to see AVENUE Q at Shea's and on Friday at butt ass early in the morning we leave for FloRida. I have one more paper due when I get back, but I have a whole week to finish that one so it's no sweat. I can't believe the semester is over this quickly. Summer is here and I am a happy happy girl!
AND felly and I are getting a dog. As soon as we get back from Florida we will be on the hunt for a cute wittle weeener dog to love and cherish. This also means that we will be getting our asses off the couch and actually walking around elmwood and allen for the sake of our pooch. Should be swell.

Hey LadiesCategory: hair
I can't take it anymore!!! This hair has got to go. I am looking for recommendations on where to get my hair lopped off. I want to donate it to locks of love so if they do it or will at least cut it off in a pony tail so i can do it, that would be swell. I am going for cheap... as in 20bucks or less cause I don't need anything fancy.... any input would be swell and dandy.

The beauty school is at the corner of Eggert and Sheridan. They do indeed charge around $12 (or less) for the haircuts and they give pretty good ones. Here is their address:
The Salon Professionals Academy
2309 Eggert Rd
Tonawanda, NY 14150
(716) 833-8772
The other cheap (and good option) is the Supercuts (yes, you read it right) at Delaware just before the overhead railway bridge. Ask for LaShawn. She is awesome (but works only two days a week). They charge around $12.95 a cut. The address is:
Supercuts - DELAWARE PARK
2165 DELAWARE AVE
BUFFALO, NY 14216
716 876-3917
I have tried 3 other places around town. However, I think these two are probably the cheapest, non-snobbiest and the better ones around.

I think some places will do it for free if you tell them you're donating your hair to Locks of Love (I got a free haircut that way a few years ago). I think LoL lists salons on their website that participate in that program... couldn't hurt to check, right? :::link:::

I've been going to new age salon on hertel for the last year or so... I like it. It's a bumble and bumble salon, and so it it's not super cheap, but it's like 30-40, which isn't too bad I don't think. And if you're willing to leave with it wet (i.e. they don't dry/style) it's like $5 cheaper. And, as a friend told me once "well duh- everyone knows that if you want a cool haircut you go to amanda!"
I went to the place around the corner from me... parkway hair cutting or something like that? on elmwood between forest/bird (or maybe one block down?) and it was cheap, but I didn't like it....

For < $20 you options are going to be very limited I would think. However, I remember when (e:lilho) used to go to beauty school, people could go there and "get their hair did " for cheap. I would email her and ask where that was, seems like a good deal.

For the RecordFelly and I have had NO. Zero. Zip. Nada internet for the past... I dunno, forever. It some ways it has been kinda nice...not spending time procrasting while I should be doing work...ehem, like right now, but at other times it sucked balls. I was forced to pull out my print dictionary to look up words while writing papers, and had to spend extra time on campus to check my email and shit. It really made me greatful for the fact that I have a home that I can go to do work while others are forced to spend extensive periods in the computer lab or the library to writer papers and do research. I hate both. Of course I was computer-less for all of college and spent much of my time in computer labs, but I guess there is a certain sense of superiority that comes with being a grad student...or maybe I am just old. Either way, I am particular and like most of all to be comfortable. A snob really. Whatever. We're Back!!

Lauren, are you getting your master's or your PhD? if you're getting a master's, what are you planning to do once you graduate? meaning, what field are you planning on working in, or what kind of job do you expect to get with your degree. the reason i'm asking is that i have a friend that is going for a master's in women's studies and she's wondering what kind of job she can expect with that kind of degree once she's out in the real world.

Nobody saw my live on air interview from the 190 on Channel 4? My ZZZ-list celebrity status continues. Channel 4, Fox News....next is NBC or CBS??
figures, they were both from Florida.
You know, this could be the bloke who yelled ''ASSSSSHHHHLLLLLEEEEEYYYYYY!" outside (e:Joshua)'s window. I am sure (e:Joshua)'s going to be interviewed tomorrow. (The Richard of the Linda-Richard combo jumped on a car and rolled into trash. However the 3:00-Ashley bloke went a step further and held down a near-shoot-out drama.) All in a day's yelling. (Ref: (e:joshua,44317))
I still don't understand why it took 3 hours (or as one guy said, 2 hours and 60 minutes) to resolve. I have zero patience/sympathy for the guy. They should have shot/tranqed/smoke-bombed him about 5 seconds after they got the chick out of the car, if you ask me.
fwis, wivb has live (7 second delay) streaming video of this since about 6:30 edt. As of right now, the live coverage is still streaming. :::link:::
I just went to their site and they have this story streaming. At one point a reporter was narrating what was going on while the camera caught it all. Then they cut back to the news roam where both anchors were staring off into space until someone told them to furrow their brow and look concerned.
Hilarious.
Drama. I'm so interested. You have to promise to give a update!
