jebbypalThere will always be one thing (other than the noxious odor of perming solution and nail polish) that makes me LOATHE getting my hair cut and such. Back in OK, it was no big deal to forgo it, but when you pay 50 bucks for a haircut, you want to get everything included in the price!!
The hair washing. I know, everyone is looking at me odd because it's supposed to be this gloriously indulgent thing of getting your head massaged and all that. Except I can't enjoy it because the lip of the sink always always always hits every single nerve plexus in my neck which results at first in pain that shoots down my arms and then goes into numbness in my shoulders and I just find myself wanting whoever is doing it to hurry the FUCK up!! I don't think it's my height like I used to --- the new place my salon is in has adjustable sinks. Rather, it's the hard ceramic siding and the fact that my neck doesn't have much fat or muscle to protect it. At one point, I found out about these nifty bumpers they have for when you are too short and such, and they help alot in making it so the tingles don't start until they are almost done. Only problem, I think my salon threw them all away when they moved because I've asked every time since and they don't have them (I didn't ask yesterday)...or they won't get them out. I dunno which.
Yesterday was the worst ever since I also got the reverse involvement when I sat up. I tried to tell myself it was hypoglycemia but it wasn't quite like my normal shakiness etc when I get that. Rather my head got light, my stomach wanted to leave my body, and every muscle from the waist up wanted to go into revolt. If the stylist had come back to me in less than 10 minutes, I totally would have bitched about the lack of bumpers...but she didn't and at that point I was too hungry to care since we'd been delayed over half an hour since the salon was so busy.
But yes, I HATE having my hair washed. Gaaaaah.
The only bad thing about the rest of the day was missing all the hockey games. :( But we went to PF Changs for the first time in forever and I actually learned an interesting tidbit: I may not really be allergic to soy sauce after all. See, usually when I go to PF Chang's, I end up with a fun rash that lasts a couple of days...it takes a couple of hours to develop and is really small...just in the world's worst location. I attribute it to soy sauce since that's generally when it happens. However, I found out something very interesting --- despite not using MSG (which I loathe more than I can say ----- nothing gives me worse migraines in this world), they do apparently marinade ALL their meat in something that includes corn starch. *goggles* Now I know I've mentioned my allergy there before, but apparently no waiter has ever bothered to mention it to the cook till yesterday. I was lucky that it was at lunch because apparently they hadn't prepared all the meat for the day yet, so they were able to use some non-marinaded chicken for my dish (they claim they use the corn starch to prevent the meat from getting tough in the wok. This is a load of crap as I've cooked plenty of corn-less chicken via stir fry w/out the issue. Plus, they didn't seem to have it w/ mine yesterday). It was quite possibly the best ginger broccoli chicken I've had there and to boot, I really didn't have any problems all afternoon. I know normally, I do do the thing of where I get a little high off their food (corn) and then promptly get hungry w/in an hour and a half (corn again). That didn't happen this time. I do have a very very very very small rash, but I know that was from the appetizer of lettuce wraps that we didn't ask for anything special for because we were STARVING. But it's the smallest it's ever been and I'm betting that it will be gone by tomorrow instead of sticking around in various states of inflamed for the better part of a week.
We saw Thank You For Smoking ---- It was very very hilarious. And for a show that continuously exclaimed about how MAGNIFICENT Katie Holmes's character's tits were, you never saw a breast shot or even a sex scene in which she had her shirt unbuttoned...just ooodddd. But really, very funny movie - I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it. Not quite Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but better than any of the other dren out.

But that was a hilarious movie. I laughed out loud at least a dozen times. "I don't have to be right. I just have to prove that you're wrong." So, so true.
