Hair
I'm getting my hair cut this weekend! Right now my hair is just long and straight. Nice. But easier to wear in a bun than down. So I'm getting long layers done. Of course, there will be pictures...

Reading
I'm reading A Million Little Pieces in a million little pieces. It's taking me forever to finish reading James Frey's novel. Great story, but not good reading. I can only read a few minutes before putting it down. I don't think I like his style of writing very much. The story stays with me; I want to know what happens next, but it's so tedious. I bet the book on tape version is pretty awesome.

Work
I'll be training my replacement at work next week. He'll actually be my coworker for a good minute or two. My bosses asked me to stay as long as I can, though...which may be longer than a minute or two...which is cool with me. Strange conducting a job search with my boss's full knowledge, but it's working out. Leaving this job will be bittersweet. That's life, right?

Sopranos
Back on Sunday night! Oh. Yeah. I hope it doesn't come on the same time as Grey's Anatomy this season. That would suck.

Rap
Note to self: Probl'y best to turn the radio and the bass down when driving into my very "suburban" neighborhood. 'Specially when Kanye and Game are barking, "CRACK music niggahhhhh! That real BLACK music niggahhhhh!" 

Art
I got my print of Black Girl With Wings (my blog image) in the mail today! I emailed the artist through her website and bought one. She also sent me a print of another piece too, which was totally unexpected, and very cool. I'm framing them both, but the Black Girl is going in my main entrance. I'll post a pic when it's up. From now on, when art speaks to me, I'm buying it. I think I'd rather like to have art in my life. I won't be laying down a mortgage payment for originals like my sister does, though. I couldn't anyway if I wanted to. A very affordable reproduction suits me just fine.

i feel like we should run the lines from love jones when darius talks about his last day at his job before deciding to devote full time to his novel. and i've bought my mom a few beautiful prints in the last 2 or 3 years and she has yet to frame them so i said from now on, i'm art buying for me. oh, and can i be you when i grow up...

hair - Can't wait to see it!!
reading - Never really had an interest in reading it, neither before or after the "scandal".
work - That's a pretty cool situation to be in, job-hunting but still working. Wonder if it'll be hard to stay motivated. It would for me.
sopranos - Have never seen one episode.
rap - Represent, Quel, YEAH. Let 'em know what's up! "I might live in the burbs, but I keeps it real!" hahahaha
art - Very cool thing to collect. especially based on your own tastes and not just to impress folks. Looking forward to watching the collection grow.

Can't wait to see the before and after pictures. Good luck on looking for a new job.

No worries the Sopranos and Grey's Anatomy don't come on at the same time this season phewww otherwise there would be an issue and I'd have to have a talk with both HBO and ABC.

My haircut is just what I wanted. I'm not ready to reveal it though, 'cause as Summer can attest to, I slept on it the night I got it done and woke up with it all crunchy. I gotta pretty it up before I show it.
