avoidance, or genius?

having a boy haircut is working for me. it's cute and even though i didn't have time to wash it today, it's still cute! mostly. the nastiness is only slightly visible and then only if you're looking for it, which i totally advise against.

yesterday in a moment of bad judgment that couldn't truly be considered bad judgment because i didn't have time to register what was about to happen, i ran into a pole while leaving the parking garage and knocked my sideview mirror off my car. it's dangling by a thread, or, more specifically, the wires that connect it to the car. i implored the mirror not to fall off and so far it has obeyed, unlike my laptop in all its insolent and annoyingly noncompliant glory. i haven't installed ms office yet, partly because the laptop won't let me and the rest because the bureaucracy i have to deal with to get new cds that maybe work is more than i want to deal with right now.

so: duct tape for the car, and notepad for the laptop. this is how i fix problems.
