I spent the day shopping for a birthday gift for C. I have an idea of what she wants but I think it's a better idea that I wait to let her come and pick it out. It's something that is very specific and I need to make sure she gets what she wants. I also got some stuff from Merz Apothecary in Lincoln Square. She shops there a lot on her own.

Meanwhile I ended up getting a ton of dvds to replace the ones I lost. I'll never get a library of them like I had before but I want to get back my favorite ones and some that I watch a lot. Of my favorites, today I picked up Spinal Tap, the Warriors and Shaun of the Dead. I also got Big Fish, the Big Lebowski, Three Kings, Firefox, Ali and the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I've been on a Tim Burton binge so I had to get Big Fish. I just finished watching Sleepy Hollow, another new dvd. It's good to have a job.

The last part of me that I'm trying to change that I haven't done anything with is my hair. I've never liked it. When it's well kept it's boring and it gets messed up too easily. When it's long, which it usually is, it's unmanageable so I went and got a haircut to get it cut real short and the barber fucked it up. He made it real short on the sides with long bangs and thick on top. Frustrated, I talked to my roommate and he offered to cut it real short. Now it's real short. The last time I had hair this short was when I was born. My scar is visible though it doesn't look that bad. Really, I'm almost bald. I'm considering taking off what little hair I have left.

Two things I noticed because of this haircut;

-I have a really nicely shaped head. If I shaved it all off it wouldn't look that bad.
-I have more hair than I thought. I actually lost very little over the years. I just need to find a better way to style it.

Not the most exciting entry but what can you do? It's better than milling around pining for someone I shouldn't or feeling depressed.
