love, milla, non-functioning black hair dye

early this afternoon i applied a semi-permanent blue black mousse dye to my hair, according to wax's slightly mis-translated instructions.  she left out the part where you should use the whole container, or possibly two containers, if you have long, thick, or otherwise stubborn/plentiful hair. 

the result is that if you know what you're looking for and squint, you might say my hair was a shade darker brown than it was this morning.  but it's still got those warm golden sun-kissed bits all through, particularly at the hairline, as though i spent too many hours pushing grocery carts around a parking lot in texas this summer. 

conclusion:  fuck.  next time, use permanent dye, in double quantities. 

p.s.:  saw resident evil in prep. to view the sequel this wednesday with the mece among others.  amusing and ass-kicky.  giant milla/michelle poster over headboard is so (or as wax's mom would say, 'såååååå') justified.

p.p.s.:  wax injured her shoulders yesterday carrying our new microwave, but she won't let me massage them because she doesn't like massages--her skin is too delicate for the pressure.  it pops up in itchy painful red blotches at the slightest hint.

what celebrity will YOU kill?

( i'll kill viggo in 18 years with a... fishing pole, or a station wagon?� or both? )

more on that inv-only harry/snape idea

the problem with me doing an invitation-only harry/snape thing would be that i haven't ever actually written any.  maybe i could solve that by also inviting trusted recommenders.  that might be the best solution, in fact.  there seems to be a startlingly quick outpouring of support for the idea, which in itself wasn't unexpected.  i suppose i could start by inviting authors, anyway, if i could find all their livejournals.

livejournals i know:
auctasinistra
resonant: resonant8
dementordelta
thisveryinstant
telanu: somniesperus
cybele: cybele_san
minx: miraminx
kai, author of 'contemporary magical innovations': kaiz
lexin
femme slash: hp_femme
tiranog
predatrix
kass: kass_rachel
isolde: cursive
alchemia and bugland

livejournals i would like to be directed to, if anybody knows them: tara tory; dolores crane; JiM. well, bummer.

eta: please note this list is preliminary only, based on the stories that leapt immediately to mind and a cursory glance at my recs page.

thanks to goebtimo, pearl_o, isiscolo, switchknife and glitterdemon for links.

uh-oh...

wax and i both need swimsuits. 

bugger.
