Today I bought hair dye and a Green Day CD. Did you know it's hard to find permanent hair dye in black that isn't a blue-black? I'm positive that blue-black would look quite hideous on me, so I was hunting for something that looked like it could conceivably grow out of my own head. Feria's looked good, but that was the one I tried last time, that turned my hair purple, and then settled into a lighter, redder shade. Grrr. I don't remember what brand I actually bought, but it was called "soft black" or some BS like that.

And then I bought Green Day's American Idiot, an action which surprises even myself. Especially once I realized it was currently Fred Meyer's best-selling CD. It was a toss-up between that and Christopher O'Riley's album of Radiohead albums arranged for solo piano. Literally a toss-up: I pulled out a penny and flipped it. I listened to some samples of the piano album. It's very cool but strange. Some of it sounds overdone, and some are unrecognizable (although to his credit I only got the first thirty seconds of any song). But it's really freaky to be hearing jazz-style piano and suddenly realize it's Karma Police. o_O It would be a fun one to play during a low-key party or dinner thing, and see how many people suddenly get this look like, "Don't I know this song?" *giggle*

But, yeah: Green Day. I haven't truly liked Green Day since Dookie, which was all the rage and then some my freshman year. I think most of my friends owned it. But, I like this one. It's grown on me--although one of the songs on it is so overplayed on the more pop stations. *shrug*

Comcast still being an asshole.

I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it myself, but the state of Idaho has a bill basically telling the people who made Napoleon Dynamite that they are the shiznit and that the state of Idaho is madly in love with them. Contains the line: WHEREAS, tater tots figure prominently in this film thus promoting Idaho's most famous export along with many much goofier ones.

It's over here. And thank you to zoe_trope for pointing it out.

Post happy!!

Copied from a friend who shall remain nameless, bwah ha ha, but safe to say: none of you know her.

I've turned on anonymous posting (well, it was always on, but wtf-ever). IP logging is turned off (actually, it was never turned on, as I have no idea what to do with IP addresses anyway). Now tell me something. Tell me a secret. Tell me anything. Something you've never told anyone, or just something you think I might like. Be brazen, be anonymous, be anything.

I have a severe posting addiction

Things I Am Not Allowed to Do at Hogwarts:

8. I will not use Umbridge's quill to write "I told you I was hardcore".

9. I will stop referring to showering as "giving Moaning Myrtle an eyeful".

....

28. I am allowed to have a toad, rat, cat, or owl. I am not allowed to have a reticulated python, snow leopard, Tasmanian devil, or pirahna.

29. I do not weight the same as a duck.

Thanks to telynor for the list. A few of them I don't get, and at least one of them references The Very Secret Diaries--which if you've seen at least the first Lord of the Rings movie, and haven't read: you are truly missing out, and I promise it won't take you long either, and just google it already!!
