1. I got new glasses.
2. I got a haircut.
Pictured below:
Also, I painted my bedroom. Perfect plum! Pictures to follow sometime soon, when I finish the second coat and have it all decorated and such. Because right now, My room basically looks like a magenta murder scene.
Anyway, the other theme of this weekend, aside from unremarkable change, was Leonardo DiCaprio. I know, right? I watched both Shutter Island and Inception this weekend. I would rate them 3 and 4.5 stars out of 5, respectively. Now, Leonardo DiCaprio is an excellent actor, no denying that. But the thing that gets me, is whenever he's in some sort of emotional scene, he gets this LOOK on his face, and all of a sudden he becomes Romeo Montague, Arnie Grape, and Jack Dawson, all wrapped into one. He has such a man face now, but when he cries or smiles, he totally has that little boy face again, and it makes my heart swell. Not that I was ever a huge Leo fan, but some of his early roles are very near and dear to my heart.
Anywho, Inception was a real thinker! Not on the level of Mulholland Drive, (Don't. Just...don't.) but I found myself thinking about it last night as I went to bed, dreaming about it last night, and then thinking about it again today. It had some really cool parts, some questionable casting choices (Ellen Page? Okay...), and some weird plot elements, but the visuals were incredible, and some of the special effects were really outstanding. No spoilers, because you all should see it if you haven't already, but the scenes with Joseph Gordon Levitt in the hotel were INCREDIBLE. I love JGL, and while his part in itself wasn't the best role ever, it must have been absolutely amazing to film, especially since he did all his own stunts.
All this Leo talk really makes me want to watch Romeo + Juliet. Which is a definite 5 out of 5 stars.
That is more than just a haircut, that is a hair color, my friend. It looks good and I really want to see it in person!! But it makes me sad that in person could be so far away. Although, maybe not, because I've been contemplating coming home to spend part of my February break with my mom. (and of course you!)
ReplyDeleteHave you ever colored your hair before? I think I have only ever known you as a blonde.
A. Your hair looks brown in this picture
ReplyDeleteB. Your brown hair makes you look like me in this picture
C. Adorable bangs
D. Shutter Island (I accidentally wrote Shitter Island and that made me giggle immaturely... is it possible to giggle maturely?) sucked. They did the one thing that pisses me off more than being forced to watch a Russell Crowe movie- at the very end, instead of being inventive or witty or clever, they fall back on the "oh it was all a dream!" or "just kidding! it was all in hie/her/their head!" Pisses me off. SO dumb.
E. Love inception! Love JGL.
F. Watch R & J. Masterpiece. Lets get together and watch Romeo & Juliet and Cruel Intentions. Lauren doesn't like movies that are depressing, even though they are tragically beautiful along the road to slit-your-wrists-sad.
Did you really dye your hair?!?!?! I've been trying to get you to do that for years, and you finally do it without me!
ReplyDeleteMeggo, I will be home for the February break! I have to house sit while my parents go on vacation
MEGGO. SHE DID NOT COLOR HER HAIR.
ReplyDeleteCOLLEEN, YOU DIDN'T COLOR YOUR HAIR RIGHT?
DON'T ANSWER THAT, I AM CONFIDENT IN MY BELIEFS THAT YOU DID NOT COLOR YOUR HAIR. I KNOW THAT IT GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING THAT YOU STAND FOR AS MY BEST FRIEND.
I just got panic-y at the idea of it, but I stand strong in my convictions that you are and forever will be a blonde.
I am okay now.
Wow.
ReplyDeleteCaused quite a stir! Didn't realize so many people were still reading this, and so soon after posting! Anywho:
No, I did not dye my hair. It's just really dark in the winter, and also, the computer camera made it look darker. I don't think I will ever actually muster up the nerve to dye my hair for realz.
Leah, I am giving you a major black woman head swivel for you getting all up in arms about me dying my hair. SEE?! NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS!
Next time, I'm going to post a boobie picture that looks like I got my nipples pierced, just to draw a reaction. I'll try to make it a regular thing.
I also thought I looked like Leah in this picture, with the dark-looking hair and dark glasses, but I am always hesitant to say I look like other people in pictures, because I don't know if that will make them uncomfortable.
I'm going to need to see another picture, because that is straight up chestnut brown. I don't see how a camera angle could do such a thing. Anywho, it looks good regardless, so I support a big change of dying it.
ReplyDeletePlease do not head swivel at me! You are the REASON I am up in arms. You made such a ruckus over me dying my hair that you solidified my perception of you and your appearance and personal stance on altering your hair color.
ReplyDeleteI am so confident in your hair color never changing that when I saw Meggo and Jhole assuming something different than what I know to be true it gave me anxiety! Your hair changing or not changing obviously has an effect on my psychological functioning. Your hair has inspired cognitive dissonance in my little pea brain. All this over a (cute) haircut.
