Gnarly Hand

As has been the cycle after several years of growth, it was time to depart from the hoard of strands that were on my grape. This time I was inspired by a friend of a friend' s blog to donate the tresses.

Why I haven't done this before? I don't know, but it's really a waste to throw something away that someone else could benefit from. So with eleven inches of hair missing for almost a week now, I think I am finally used to it. I'm digging the low maintenance, lightness, and time savings.

On another note, the past birthday brought much loved movie gift cards so I've been busy. Borat managed to exploit some American cultural atrocities while providing days of recollection hilarity. Most comedies don't generate laughter or revelation on as many levels as this movie does. The second flick was Stranger Than Fiction. It had funny portions but mostly dealt with issues of existence and death. I thought it was well done and acted. Good stuff.

And finally. We've had a well intentioned art fund sub-account for many years now but have failed to delve into it. We've both been wanting to collect art for quite some time but indecisiveness, affordability and desirability has hindered us. Last night at an art opening, we purchased Josh Taylor's Icarus.

It's an interesting piece and I'll be glad to have it as a promising start to our collection.
