I woke up this morning utterly depressed, and I think it is because I have roots.
I’m usually pretty good about scheduling a date with henna the instant my hair starts to glitter under fluorescent lights, but lately I’ve been too busy/tired/lazy to do it. It also doesn’t help that my hair has been more or less fabulous lately. In addition to colouring my hair a healthy orange, henna will make it thick and shiny and smelling like dirt. Usually when I’m feeling drab and rooty, I just have a henna evening and lo my hair is once again large and unmanageable, just the way I like it. Lately though, my hair has been large and unmanageable on its own – and if not for the Hulk-smash anger I feel when I see how much white there is on my head, I probably would just skip the henna altogether. I don’t really feel like it, but I am officially declaring tonight Girl Maintenance night. I will henna, shave, pluck, exfoliate, moisten, trim, buff and oil. I may even polish. There is a possibility of cucumber sandwiches.
Being a girl is a pain in the ass.
It is very, very dark outside. My corner of the Lab doesn’t have overhead lights, which is fantastic – but without a great deal of natural light, it is damn spooky over here. It goes very well with my overall gothiness today. While I didn’t start out intending to look like I was dipped in Hot Topic on my way over, if the black lace fingerless gloves fit ..
Ali is visiting this weekend, and I am looking forward to it. The weather doesn’t want to cooperate, but I’m sure we can find some fun that may or may not include alcohol. It’s been far too long since we’ve seen Ali, and we need her vowel in our gang. It will be good. Hooray for fun and vowels!
Perhaps I should document things now.
Oh, snap – I was chastised! From the desktop support ticket I entered to request more RAM:
Intern with Nice Bottom resolved DT-10: I can has more ram?

Resolution: Task Completed
Ken gave me 1 memory module of 2GB.
I installed in Kimli’s computer.
I also updated the operational System to XP SP3.
I runned the disk desfragmentation as well.
Her hard disk was VERY messy.
She has many programs installed in her computer.
With the steps above I hope to improve her computer’s performance.
If it is not enough for her I can do the backup and reinstall everything.
I feel like I was given an Unsatisfactory in Social Development because I didn’t colour within the lines :(
