fearlesstemp90% of the reason I spent twenty minutes digging my sorry car out of the mountain of snow my brother had so kindly buried it under (Never let a younger brother snowblow a driveway your car is parked in. It is just not a good idea) was so that I could wear my Truly Awesome Tights, which are black with little shamrocks on them and therefore only appropriate for today. I bought them last week for 75% off, and I'm wearing a green shirt that doesn't quite match the green of the shamrocks, but I don't care! I'm festive! I can't decide if the tights are cute or if they're a sign that I'm fast on my way to being a person who wears puff-paint sweatshirts with Christmas trees on them during the holidays.
In short: Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Century City, that show about lawyers in the future, premiered last night and watched part of it and taped the rest and I'm pretty sure it was everything I dreamed of (and more!). One of the storylines featured a boyband reuniting and being sued by a former bandmate they excluded from the reunion tour because he'd chosen to age naturally instead of unnaturally maintaining his youth. I am not making this up. You can read the TWoP recap if you don't believe me!
I just spent like three sentences talking about how the story doesn't make sense because of the timeframe of the show and then gave up. To look for logic in a show like this is a fool's errand, I'd guess.
Other show notes: My boyfriend Horatio chose to adopt an American accent on the show and I don't know if it's just me being confused because I expect his normal Welsh accent, but I couldn't understand a word he said. Oh, Horatio! Be yourself! It's okay! I bet he slips back into the Welsh by episode 12. If there is an episode 12.
A source of stress right now is the fact that I think I'm going gray. I've always had a few stray gray hairs, ever since I was sixteen or so, and there have always been three or four I could see in the part of my hair, and I thought they were kind of a quirky localized incident so I left them alone. Then I started noticing them more and pulling them out, and then yesterday in the car on my way back from lunch, I thought to check the rest of my head and OH MY GOD they're EVERYWHERE! I'm only 23! Isn't this young? Or isn't it? My mother says it's normal and I'm overreacting and she's probably right, but watch me still freak out. I mean, you can't really see them from a distance, and I have a lot of hair so you have to be looking for them, but I really don't want to go gray! My grandfather was completely gray by the age of 25. I'm nervous. My hair's super-dark (a coworker called it a "soft black" which is how I'm going to describe it from now on) and I've never dyed it and I don't WANT to and grrr.
I'm getting old! Wearing festive legwear, sprouting gray hairs, looking for logic in cheesy sci fi lawyer shows! What is happening to me?
To end on a less neurotic note, I leave you with an Irish Blessing:
May those that love us, love us.
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles
So we will know them by their limping.
In short: Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I kind of sense that it's not going to happen, though, which is a drag. My mom was kind of evenly salt and pepper all over, which means that's probably the way I'll go. You know, when I'm sixty, I could dye in the streak, I guess. that seems excessive, though, and I can't imagine how difficult it would be to dye hair grey. I once dyed my hair platinum blonde (my hair is also very very dark brown, although not, (hee) soft black) and it was a disaster in that it TORCHED my hair, so I had a LOT of seriously blonde hair for a few weeks, and then chopped it all off. so, yeah. the point of this is that grey hair is distinguished! you will look cool. Also, Boys go BALD. I mean, compared to the fact that either you basically go bald, or else you have to use weird rogaine-that's-so-powerful-it-apparently-makes-women-have-spontaneous-abortions-or-something, a few grey hairs is no big deal at all.
