I did a very dumb thing today.

I wandered into the stacks at the university library. By the time I came back to myself, I had checked out:

Blossom of Bone by Randy P. Conner, off a rec from

little_details (my original excuse for going in);
Sustainability and Spirituality by John E Carroll, which actually might end up being research for a class! yay!
Neoplatonism of the Italian Renaissance, by N. Robb, because I wish I were an Italian Renaissance Neoplatonist, that is what I really want to be;
A History of Playing Cards and a Bibliography of Cards and Gaming, for the Pictorial Lantean Tarot guide that I am definitely not writing, not at all; and
Flesh of the Gods, by Peter T. Furst, because aliens totally made them do it.

I also had another one that I wanted to check out, but realized just in time that the GN call number put it right smack in the middle of the general Anthropology/Archeology books, and once I go in *there*, I don't come out for hours, so I barely managed to turn around and make it out with only five books.

When will I find the time to read all of these? I will *never* find the time to read all of these. That doesn't mean I could have prevented myself from checking them out. It's a *disease*, people!

Oh, and I got my hair cut yesterday

Also in the past two days I've broken *both* the pairs of glasses I've been wearing, thus the lack of glasses in the picture.

Wow, that's only about the *fifteenth* time I've heard that in the past few days! XD

(At least the hairdresser, after asking if we were twins, kept mentioning how much nicer my hair was than hers!)

If it makes you feel any better, my mom and I look like twins. I'm not sure if that means I look old or she looks young. ;)

(yeah it was ;.;)

Awww.

It'll grow back in six months or so. And meanwhile I've got rid of all the split ends, shut up everybody who keeps nagging me to get it cut already, and made my grandfather very happy.

You do realize that if you're going to continue to claim that a higher authority says your hair is nicer, you'll have to actually take good care of it, right? Because to do otherwise would be just cruel and ... so not fair. d-:

Also, thank you, I shall now have The Hat I Got For Christmas Eez Too Beeg stuck in my head for the next week.

(Is it raining? Is it snowing?? I can't see where I am going!)

But she said that when it was all frizzy and full of split ends and hadn't been washed or combed for like, three days!

Also, that's fair, since I've had that song stuck in my head constantly since Sunday, and the only thing that will get rid of it is playing "Mandelbrot Set (http://www.jonathancoulton.com/lyrics/mandelbrot-set)" on repeat.

"You’re a day-glo pterodactyl
You’re a heart-shaped box of springs and wire
You’re one badass fucking fractal!"
