art museum; my hair; mental casting

shiroi_chi, anglepoiselamp, were we talking about going to the mucha exhibit a week from this coming sunday, once sugar is back in town? is that the deal? wax fell before my convincing argument about sundays and her response to the whole plan is "yeah, okay", assuming everyone else is still good with it. also, sugar, here are your pictures: 1 2 3 4.

i've been thinking on and off about chopping all my hair off.  it will never behave the way it should - that is, curling the way i want it to and the way it does in a better climate - as long as i live here. instead, when it is long, it is unmanageable - unpredictably wavy, overly dry, and prone to static. even going to pains to moisturise it just makes it kind of limp.

so, i'd probably've done that already today, except i'm... rereading the final arc of hikaru no go instead, and making icons. i desperately need want some sai icons for moi, yet i'm making hikaru icons instead, mostly. well, and akira. that's because almost every image of akira is beautiful, so i end up with a preponderance of him. in my head, hikaru is played by nino of the japanese boyband arashi. (aeslis, who actually follows this boyband - i don't - has been feeding me video clips and picspam and trivia for a couple of months and i have gradually and unwittingly become a tinhat about shipper of ohno/nino.) i can't really be satisfied with manga or anime until i have a pretty firm mental image of the important characters as actual human beings. if, as in the case of hikaru, they don't really look very much like human beings in the artwork, it bugs me more and i have to think harder about it.

eta: here is the manga page with akira in jeans.
