Alone... In the Dark...

[kybearfuzz]

My area finally had a good dose of rain last night, but the coming storm knocked out power twice last night. I broke out my lantern that I bought after the big wind storm a couple of years ago. It lights up the room pretty well, but left me little to do.

So I wrote a bit of the last installment for the comic book. I know my ancestors wrote by candle light (well, those that could write that is), but the historical feel of doing it this way is not fun. Still, I got a lot done I think. After an hour or so, the power came back on. Then as I was getting ready for bed and watching the new "South Park," the power shut off again! So I went to sleep, only to have everything kick back on at 1 AM (it was hard to tell what I'd turn on and off after the power went).

I had another odd dream. I dreamt my hair was growing long. Not just longish, as in needed-a-haircut-long, but we're talking trashy-romance-novel-coverman-long. I was looking in my mirror to see this thick mane growing longer by the second and my beard disappearing to the chin-fur only. Very odd to me as I felt I looked ridiculous. In real life, my hair would never grow that straight, but boy it could really move in the dream.

L'Oreal ... cause I'm worth it...

kybearfuzz starring in the biopic as Fabio.
For this, I'd get a television.

I had long hair in college. My hair is very curly, and I looked like Roseann Rosanna Danna's brother.

I'm not sure you're old enough to get that cultural reference.

If your ancestors were peasants, or country folk, they probably didn't stay up much past sundown. Candles and other artificial lights were too expensive to use lighting up sleeping time. In most European cultures, at least pre-Industrial Revolution, you'd get up with the sun and go to bed with the sun.

LOL... I'm sure there would be a YouTube video of it, so no TV would be needed.

And I loved Gilda Radner! Of course, I get the reference. My hair (though thinning now) used to be unbelievably thick. I got it cut short because as it got longer, it got thick. Think, Chia-Pet. Or White-Boy Fro.

It also has a lot of curl and wave. In the right hairdresser's hands, my hair could probably rival old Fabio's!

I'm sure my ancestors were not party-animals who stayed up half the night (you know, 8 or 9 PM). My grandparents weren't either surprisingly. I think my mom was the first who dared stay up half the night.

My hair is pretty thick, and not thinning. I don't understand how or why, but I'm not complaining. I keep it short, because I hate fussing with it.

I loved Emily Litella.
Gilda Radner was a genius. When Bill Murray was writing for SNL, in the first few seasons, if he got stuck on a skit, he'd write, "And then Gilda does something" and she'd improv. Brilliance.

EDIT:
Oh, and isn't it "Take-off-Your-Green-Shirt-Thursday? Or something like that?

;-)

(http://www.flickr.com/photos/81961449@N00/5081351178/)Well, I am wearing the right color of shirt if that is indeed the day!

Gilda was such an amazing performer, I bet when it came to improv she was brilliant. I can see Murray trusting her to fill in the gaps. I love Emily Litella, but I love Rosannadanna the best, though Candy Spice was a good one too, but not used as much as she could have been.

I read her book, "It's Always Something." I can only imagine where she'd have gone had she not passed away.

*imagines you with Fabio hair*
*shudders*

short hair and bearded works quite nicely on you

I tried to grow the mullet back in the 1980's when it was fashionable and found my hair grew outward and would never lay down, so I stopped all attempts at longer hair since. I thank heavens that it didn't work out. At least I don't ahve the embarrassing mullet photos like the twin. And I like being bearded.

This is probably the longest my hair ever got. I was about four or five in this pic I think. My dad took the twin and I to get "burrs" soon afterward and the curles were gone.

my hair is really curly and stuck out a lot at a certain length, once it got longer (fine, mullet length) it was still really curly but didn't stick out at much. There was always a short period of time at a certain length where it did sort of a weird Wolverine pointy hair thing LOL

I am very happy to keep it short and pre-curl length now LOL

[kybearfuzz.livejournal.com]

Oooh.. Wolverine-hair! Now that is definitely photo-worthy.

[dendren.livejournal.com]

I don't think I have any pics of me with Wolverine hair. It was always such a short period, like a week at most. I think I was in Jr High when someone first noticed it.

And what happened the week after?

[dendren.livejournal.com]

it got long enough that it got a little heavier and didn't poke up the same way. I also have a Carol Brady phase where the back curls up like Carol Brady's and then moves on to being heavier and just wavy instead of curling up LOL

It's been so long since my hair was long enough for any of these though it may have all changed at this point. I have no intention of growing it long to see what it does now LOL

I have visions of your long hair waving in slow motion in the wind! LOL!
