Unfortunately, the point of this trial is not to find out if my client is a scum bag, but if he killed Gene Warner. And, your honor, my client the scumbag did not kill Gene Warner. And I'm going to tell you why."

Day 34: My Hands

My Grandma Zimmerman had severe arthritis and could not use her hands for as long as I could remember and could barely move when she died. It makes me appreciate my hands, but also scares the hell out of me whenever my hands hurt . . .

365 Project day 35: My Feet

I spend most of the day on them every day at work. I can't bring myself to sit for very long while I'm teaching . . . I'd rather run around the room like a crazy person. I've learned to take a little better care of them over the years.

Here's a photo I did for the newest blog post I done did about writing:

Bridesmaid dress selected. The pink is going to be way paler (which I'm nervous about with my skin tone, but I get to choose the cut and not the color, so the color is mandated), and the sample size I tried on was a size too big and this was before the guy clipped me all up so that I could see how it would ACTUALLY fit. And I'm making a derpy face because I'm trying like hell to take a self portrait with a borrowed iPhone and the balancing act is difficult.

So I'm in week three of trying to figure out the mystery of Computer Vision Syndrome.
I got my eyes tested, confirmed I'm still 20/20, and the opto-guy said to pick up some +1 reading glasses and see if they made the light-sensitive headaches go away. So I did.
I was going to take some pictures of myself in them, but that was boring, so I took some pictures of you in them, looking at me. Sort of.

Anyways, so far so good. No headache today, anyways, even though I could feel it, like a threat, lurking at the edges. Might invest in the special computer-vision-goggles they say they can make.

@Argos, I hate asymmetrical cuts. I love your hair. So. There's that.

@Alan, I tried on the dress in the accurate color. I have to adjust. It is NOT as cute. At all. (But thanks!)

Argos — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:45:56 -0800

Hooray! I'm glad, cos with a grown-out mohawk there aren't many symmetrical options you have other than a very plain pixie cut, which I actually kind of want now because i am LOVING the short side of my hair. I didn't think I could pull off a boy cut, but now I think I can....

Doing a test run for some wedding makeup stuff. Specifically: new blush color (coral - LOVE IT), finishing powder, and how a new crease brush applies eyeshadow (perfectly, huzzah!). Also finally learned how to fill in my eyebrows with eyeshadow to fill in gaps and define my arches without making my brows look too thick and heavy; took me a while to figure out what eyeshadow colors to use (medium-dark brown mixed with a tad of black). My eyebrows are pretty good without any filling in but the hair in the arch area is a bit sparse so sometimes my brows can look arch-less, and I just really like the look of defined arches.

This isn't the full makeup look. I only have a sheer powder foundation on, no concealer, no mascara or false eyelashes.
