No Tears for Average Jane

Yesterday I told my hair stylist that the problem with my hair boiled down to people saying, "Wow, I’d never have guessed that!" when I told them I’m in a hard rock band.  Obviously, some of that might be attributable to my age and lack of a heroin-thin physique, but still…

So she ended up adding some caramel-hued highlights to my dark brown color.  The cut stayed more or less the same, but it always looks better when it’s fresh.  I figured I could have her cover the highlights next time if I didn’t like them, but so far I think it’s a good look.  Thus, I’m not crying about my hair after all.  (Really, I don’t think I’ve cried over my hair since the horrible perm I got in junior high school.)

I’m running a little late this morning, but I’ll finish out by sharing some links I like:

• The Saddest Thing I Own – A blog collection of reader-submitted stories and photos.  It reminds me a little of PostSecret.
• Here’s one I found quite a while ago, but still revisit from time to time:  Lost Films.  This guy develops old film from secondhand cameras and posts the results online.  There’s something rather haunting about looking at old snapshots that the photographers and subjects never got to see.
• And just to ease the melancholy of the previous link suggestions, here’s The Daily Kitten.  As the name suggests, they add a new photo of a kitten each day…at 3:07 p.m. GMT, to be precise.

Enjoy your Wednesday!
