Hair, ears, dreams, other stupid babble

la_belle_laideSo I decided to splurge and get my hair cut and professionally colored. The lady who did it was really nice, but completely unwilling to take any risks because of the many tones of my hair. So basically it looks darker that it was in the shade. It's really red in the sun and all, but I think I like it better when I do it at home. Oh well, it was cheap, the whole cut and color only $60. Then, on a whim, I got my left ear pierced. I already have my ears pierced but I thought, what the hell, let's make it uneven.
Last night Kim came over, and we watched A Chinese Ghost Story, which Kim felt was a cheesy in a 70's way and and too bizarre, but which I really enjoyed. The subtitles were completely off the wall. "Men can be more scareful than ghosts!" But how cute was Leslie Cheung, and how freaking sad is it that he killed himself a few years ago. WTF? He was hot.
So last night, while we were waiting to pick up our food, we stopped at Blockbuster to get some ice cream (so much for me cutting back on that.) We passed by new releases and there was ADVENT CHILDREN staring me in the face. Dude, I pre-ordered that crap months ago, why is it not at my house right now? Sometimes when you pre-order from Amazon.com, you get it the day it comes out, once in a rare while you get it the day before. I damn near took the remaining copy of AC off the shelf. Amazon.com bastards. I'd rather have paid more and had it earlier. I have to wait until May 1st to get it now. MAY FIRST. Yeah, I mean, I've seen it a thousand times already, but I want all the extras. >_>
A few night ago, Sunday I think, I had a dream that I was watching TV and someone had recorded a guy kidnapping a little girl and beating her with a stick. When I saw it, I went into a blind rage. I started crying, and repeating the words, "I"M GOING TO SMASH HIM!" Then I went to the shed, got a baseball bat (??!) and started walking. I don't know how I was going to find the guy or anything, but I just kept repeating that I was going to smash him, and I knew I was going to. It was so weird.
Then last night I had a dream about Star Wars. In it, Luke and Leia were twins, you know, like they are supposed to be, only Leia was in her fifties and Luke was still in his twenties. She was all Jedi-like and the leader of the rebellion, and he was sort of jealous of her. They were marching aganst the Empire or something, and I was trying to help Luke deal with his issues. I decided the best way to do this was to tease him about them and tell him things like, "Yes, she may be more powerful than you, but look at it this way ... you're also really short." Then somehow in my dream I realized that I was "writing" him out of character, and decided to make him tougher. Then he found some people beating up on Han Solo and he wasted them all. And I was like, "My hero!" Every few years I have a dream about Luke Skywalker. I think it's because he was my first movie hero, my first movie crush, maybe. Weird.
Spencer called my Mom yesterday just to chat about what he's been up to. He told her he's been thinking about one particular college, and he's pretty sure he's decided what he wants to study, and maybe what he wants to do with his carreer. He thinks maybe he'll study both music and psychology, and maybe he wants to be a music therapist. Mom said he told her, "They say you have to love music and love helping people and, well, that's me." When she told me that I almost cried. He's such a good boy. Well, young man, anyway. Also, he's trying out for some kind of state singing program. When he was a kid, we all thought he wat tone deaf--he couldn't hold a note if it was in a bag. But he did a solo in chorus, "Amarilli Mia Bella", and he got a standing ovation and made the girls cry.
I'd realy like to get Spence and Meg over here for another weekend before summer comes around and they both start working, but it doesn't look likely. As long as I get Meg for the week the POTC2 comes out, I guess I'll have to just take what I can get. :)
Uhh, OW, my ear hurts all of a sudden!
