I can't stop listening to this song once again. A couple of months Pretty Scary Silver Fairy was the only album I wanted to listen to, now it's all I wanna listen to again. Enjoy!

Robyn is, without a shadow of a doubt, my favorite artist in the whole world. Everything I listen to now, I compare it to her. She has achieved a level of excellence that I just can't imagine anyone else reaching. Listen.

 

My favorite song of the moment.

So if you go for sweets you are counteracting your depression?.

God I love sweets.

hmmm.. literally food for thought.

Anyway. I'm watching The View. That's where a lot of some of this stuff comes from that I write. It always makes me think. I don't care what anyone says; I love this show.

I'm finally getting around to doing the stuff that I was supposed to do for months ago. I finally got the label to return my clothes. I've ordered my vitamins. I ordered my book for school and I'm finally starting to write these papers. God I'm lazy. Some of this stuff should've been done weeks ago. I've got to order my facial cleanser and face stuff, and some lotion for my face. I want to try some new hair products too.

Speaking of. Months ago I decided that my hair was crap and it's been crap for a while. I had a really good hairdresser who left after the storm. She took care of my hair and it was straight and healthy. THEN the storm came and everything went pear-shaped as they say. So, I had no hairdresser and really bad hair. I got some scissors and trimmed my ends, I went on a no-heat "diet", and I started to wash it and condition it more often. Now, I'm black and I've always been told that black people don't wash their hair often. It's not necessary. So I never washed it more than 3 times a month. Now I wash it about 2 - 3 times a week. I do what is known as a co-wash.

I really got a lot of these ideas from researching. I wanted to grow my hair and make it healthier and what I was doing wasn't working. My hair had been the same length for years. It's growing now and it's free. I'm doing everything myself. If I'd never started working on it, I would've never learn to do my own relaxer and cut my own ends. If I had a camera I'd take a picture, but i lost it and I've gotta buy a new one. lol  Anyway, the story goes that I'm always looking for a new leave - in conditioner or product. Right now I'm using Garnier Fructis mainly because it's cheap and they make that fantastic smoothing milk that I love. Mane n'Tail is my standard. I'll never give it up. It's unbelievable. I use olive oil, olive oil, olive oil everything. And that Carol's Daughter Shea Butter which is way too expensive for what it does.

Enough about hair. Here's some Mika!!

You'll be happy to know that I've begun to write my paper. It actually has facts in it. I read up on the poem last night and on Sylvia Plath. She was a very complex individual. Anyways, here's what I got so far.

[...The speaker is a woman named Lady Lazarus; the name is a direct reference to Lazarus of the bible, who rises from the dead. The name alone implies power and strength. A person who possesses the ability to overcome the ultimate demise can overcome anything.
    Lady Lazarus possesses the ability to not simply overcome death once, but multiple times. She says, “I have done it again./ One year in every ten/ I manage it --” (Plath ).  She taunts her oppressors by showing them how many times she can manage to cheat death. She shows them how powerful she is, by her ability to repeatedly come back from the dead...]

I always feel redundant when I do these papers. The information seems so ...bleah. Anyway, Zicam leaves stuff in your nose when it dries. It's so annoying. Oh and yes I'm sick now. It sucks.

MUSIC!!!

I have written a total of 3 paragraphs. HOW wonderful.

Wait. Elliott Yamin has an album out?? He's on Regis and Kelly right now. It's ok.  Was he on the Carrie Underwood season???? I don't remember where half of these people come from anymore.

HIS TEETH!!! That's it. I was wondering what happened. He used to have a jacked up smile, he was still cute but those were the facts. He's got that fixed now and he's still cute. SO good stuff. It didn't sound bad, which is the important part.

WTF Josh Gracin is on tomorrow. He was one of those "Country" singers. EWWW. I hate country music. I really do.

I can tell that today is gonna be one of those days. I just feel crappy. I need tea.

 That would be a good place to start. I took a year off of school. Nothing to bad happened. I just didn't have transportation. The storm (Katrina) didn't help matters either. My mom lost 1 of her jobs, which means she lost her disposable income, which meant she couldn't get a new car, which meant I couldn't get her old one.

No matters at the moment. I actually feel good and stable. I may not have my license but I don't stress over it like I used to. It was pretty touch and go there for a minute. It sounds stupid, but if you had went through this last year feeling like I felt, you'd understand. I felt trapped. Still kinda do, but having work to do and something to do in general helps.

I don't wanna dwell on something that I feel that I'm over.

UFC. Matt Hughes - B.J. Penn main event. The other matches are nothing to scoff at either. Anyway, I'm more concerned about after this particular match up since the one I really wanna see is Georges St. Pierre vs. Matt Hughes...assuming Hughes wins of course, which I believe he will.

And....for the finale...I'm still trying to figure out exactly how everything works. lol sooo...here comes the testing portion of this entry.

So a few of my favs...white teeth by Zadie Smith (fav. book)  Georges St. Pierre (MMA fighter...Vitor Belfort is my fav...but that's a whole other story) and...Cansei de Ser Sexy (My fav. music of the moment)
