Photoshop Class "Notes"

Actually that class is worthwhile, since even w/ my extensive PS use, I haven't really explored CS3 and all the cool goodies. But, you know, can't. stop. drawing. Tho frankly, at least for me, if there are copious doodles on the sidebar of my notes that means that my synapses were firing, and I end up absorbing more than you'd think. However, if my notes are just writing, in all likelyhood the info went straight from ear to pen, like sieve, catching very little lasting info in me noggin.

Hair Warrior

As seen walking down the street near school. Like a black Marge Simpson. Fantastic.

Now, if they are training the next wave of "Hair Warriors"
at school, then I take back what I said earlier. Okay, they're still kinda scary, but I respect a talent for the audacious.

There was an episode of "The Pursuit of Excellence" on PBS about an international hairstyling comp. that *wasn't* hair wars, but entertaining anyway.(A team of born-again Christian hairstylists? Unexpected!). Did anyone watch this series? Basically one hour documentaries about competitions-- the synchronized swim team at Santa Clara U., Midwestern ferret shows, the aforementioned hairstylists. I tend to love this particular doc genre (and comedies in the same vein), mostly because the good ones move you beyond obvious humor to a place of respect... whatever weird thing they do, they love it, they want to be the best at it, or at the least better than they are now, bless 'em. Good stuff.

Afrobellas...

One good thing about trekking through campus is people watching. Saw this lovely lady getting a ride home from school. In the sea of jeans and t-shirts, she definitely stood out. That's the way to rock an end of summer look.

Another take. Full disclosure: there was no mp3 player. I'm just on a "drawing people with headphones" kick.

On a side note, I visit afrobella.com on the regular. Nevermind I'm not black. She's a good read, she features positive female role models, she's a Jill Scott stan (hello!), and in-between the make-up & music reviews she'll bring up news stories that haven't gotten mainstream coverage. You know how sometimes you pick up a beauty mag and you feel guilty about it afterwards? Afrobella's the antidote.

Is there an AsianBella out there?

Ima bout to cut a bitch...'s hair.

Actually, I'm not sure what cosmetologists do (Is is hair, right? Make up, too?), but I do know that the cosmo students at my school scare the beeejeeebus out of me.

At least I hope they are cosmetology. Could they be nurses? "You'd better heal up or I WILL HURT YOU."

1,2, OMG

It really is.

I'm finding IT to be like a damn addiction I can't quit. Doesn't help that I've found another enabler. At this moment I'm looking at a ream of pre-punched animation paper and wondering if I want to "bounce that damn ball again". The f-ing horror. God help me.
