Purple!

Published by falconesse under self-image

I have a longer update in the works about this whole shopping-a-book-around process, but for now, you get a shot of my purple goddamned hair.

Woo purple hair!

Go ahead, WoW geeks, you can say it: my hair is epic.

I’ve been told that in this and the other shot I took, I look pissed off.  I swear, I’m not.  I must have taken about 50 pictures, and only kept two.  The ones where I actually smiled for the camera?  Eek.  I couldn’t hit the delete button fast enough.  I’m one of those people who can’t smile on demand, especially for pictures.  So, neutral-face it is.

GUYS MY HAIR IS PURPLE AND I LOVE IT OMG.

(Also, because I know she’s waiting for it: yes, Hill, you were right. I should’ve done this ages ago.)

All Right, You Dirty Hippies

In an effort to not only eat better to be more healthy, but to also be a bit more environmentally conscious and because holy crap meat’s getting expensive, I’m on the prowl for good meatless recipes.

No, we’re not going completely vegetarian by any means, but I realize that there are certainly ways we could cut back and improve our eating habits. I know if I go and stand in a bookstore and stare at the wall o’cookbooks, it’s going to intimidate and overwhelm me. Some of the dishes in there will seem way too fancy/complicated/involved and it’ll just languish on my bookshelf.

So, tell me what you eat. Are there brands/products I should always have on hand? Are there ones I should run screaming away from at the store? I am certainly open to suggestions from the carnivores here, too – my goal is to collect healthy recipes in general, so they don’t all have to be meatless.

And if your’e curious, this weekend I decided to kick my ass back into gear and get back on track with Weight Watchers. But, rather than filling up this blog with food-oriented posts, I started up a google doc and published it for anyone who cares to follow along. I’ll toss a link over there in the sidebar, but for now, you can find it here.

I’ve been wanting to do it for years. Finally sucked it up and went through with it.

Braaaains

Because I thought it would amuse him, and because cannibals share some similar dietary preferences with zombies, I sent Marty a quiz I spied over in John Scalzi’s Whateverettes section.

It turns out he could feed 12 zombies cannibals.

Sadly…

How many cannibals could your body feed?

Yeah. I can feed one more cannibal than Marty can.

This is not okay with me. Not ruined-my-day not okay, mind you. Just more of an “ugh.” And, coming on the heels of seeing a particularly horrible picture my coworker managed to sneak of me at conference, I have a new goal.

11 cannibals or less by July.

To hell with “I want to lose 20 pounds.” I want to starve two cannibals.
