I keep writing "sol invictus" on everything.

The rising of the sun, the running of the deer,
All merry people rise and greet the turning of the year.


Every year on the winter solstice, I worry that the sun won't actually rise the next day and we will live in darkness forever. So, I'll probably spam you with posts today, just in case.

Thing 1: I have stopped washing my hair. Now, you might think that this is the result of some sort of seasonal depression where I never change out of my pyjamas and forgo any attempts at basic personal hygiene. But you would be wrong. My pyjamas are just comfortable, that's all. And I finally realised that my hair looks like shit if I wash it every day. Even on day 2 it looks all fluffy and horrible. I wonder if I can just not wash it at all ever again. How often do you wash your hair?

Thing 2: I watched Part 1 of the new Garo special. I liked it a lot, very stylish, like the show always was. However, there was a big flaw. I mean, besides Kouga's leather pants. How do they get him into those things? There must be baby powder involved. No Kaoru! Well, except for a fake Kaoru in one scene. But she was the reason I kept watching the show in the first place. Who cares about all the hot boys fighting monsters and each other? Well, okay. But still. On the other hand, Zero's leather pants were quite pleasing and, god, Rei is looking fine. And Tsubasa, the new boy! Could he be any prettier? Could he and Zero please fight each other until they're exhausted and then rest up and then have sex until they're exhausted again? I hope Jabi has some serious asskicking in part two, because she's just too cool to be the damsel in distress. And I hope Kaoru shows up and says she wants to move to Canada and marry me. Cause I'm way cooler than that boring asshole Kouga.

Thing 3: I like cheese.

My hair looks like shit by default because of curly. I wash it every three days, and rub black-woman moisturizer on it the rest of the time so that it doesn't look like refried yuck.

Joins with you in curly-solidarity. Man, the people who just wash and comb it and then can wear it down no problem... I almost cannot conceive of life like that.

way more than anyone wanted to know about my hair

As a lover of cheese myself, I like that you frequently proclaim your love of cheese.

Hair: Isn't it common knowledge that hair always looks better the day after it's been washed? Anyhoo, I have long, very thick, frizzy/wavy (depending on weather) hair. I wash it when it feels overly oily or itchy, which is usually every 3 to 7 days. Whenever I use product on it to make it awesome or blow it out, it should be washed the next day or the one after that, though this does not always happen.

I'm curious about this whole "letting it go and your scalp will adjust" concept though. My mom does this and I'm not sure it's the better option, but maybe one needs to rinse it regularly? Did the entire human race just have nasty hair until shampoo and conditioner were created? (this seem possible, if unlikely) I have noticed huge differences in my own scalp health and hair softness depending on the shampoo/conditioner (if any) I use though.

Thanks for the link! I think I'll give it a try as I'm currently rotating through shampoos/conditioners looking for the best one.

Though I haven't tried every product, so far Jason is the best--reliable (and kind to animals etc etc), but nothing awe-inspiring. Garnier, Pantene, Giovanni, and Burt's Bees are all either not-too-hot right after or they make my scalp too sensitive with repeated use. Yes, all very exciting. The fact that I have wavy hair and you have straight probably makes this info of even less interest/use.

I wash my hair every three days. Otherwise it gets greasy and nasty. >:E

Don't wash your hair more than twice a week. It's not worth it on any account, unless you have reeeeally greasy hair. :D

Don't know what Garo is.

I. LOVE. CHEESE. OF ALL KINDS. AND YOU.

I have a lovely camembert that I'm saving for Christmas day.

I wash my hair every other day; it's long and tangly and if I wash it every day, it gets dry.
