the pretty things are going to hell

coming home from juan colorado today, i saw, in the back of someone’s car, what appeared to be a decapitated alien head wearing a yellow and blue swim diaper as a hat.

james brought me to get my hair cut yesterday, by rob at cutting crew (located on hawthorne). the bald, heavily tattooed man on the left there is rob, my new hairdresser. and he is awesome.

inside, the shop is very masculine. red walls, and red tool chests hold their supplies. rob’s business card reads, “scaring people while making them prettier since 1986.” the back of it shows him shaving a skull. the side of his mirror is also covered in chick tracts, which is kind of hilarious.

he ended up chopping a lot of my hair off, but reassured me that it needed to be done. it fixed the ends up a lot, and straightened out the back. i was getting sick of layers. he trimmed and thinned my bangs out, too, which desperately needed it. after, he straightened my hair to make sure everything was even. i love straight hair, but rarely do it.

we discussed hair color, too, as he was working on me. he recommended a red shade called “rocket fire.” james mentioned maybe adding black streaks to the “rocket fire” red… which could be a possibility.

made this for blayne (hopfully it turns out):

Key Lime Pie
1 pre-baked graham cracker crust (8 or 9-in.)
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (key lime, if possible)
1 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk
4 large egg yolks, at room temperature

In a large bowl, beat egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk with a large whisk until smooth. Whisking constantly, stream in lime juice and stir until smooth and well-combined. Pour into pie shell.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Serves 8.

i plan on making these cookies soon. noms!

i want to get my ears pierced again - just at 16g, i think.

james told me to wear this today. happy fireworks day!
