It is supposed to be spring next week. As in, warm weather, tulips, and little marshmallow chick peeps. According to the people at the Weather Channel, and what history has demonstrated over the past several year, Old Man Winter likes to extend his visit for as long as possible before the Springtime Sprites emerge. It's not even going to cross 50° in the next 10 days! And then, because OMW is a funny kinda guy, it's going to snow once, at least once in April and then, he departs until December. I'm asked if I like the seasonal changes compared to the all-time sunshine in Hawaii and my response will never change: no I don't like the seasonal change. The only seasonal changes I liked was summer to spring and then back to summer. Two wardrobes is nonsensical and so is Daylight Savings; get rid of them both. So this weekend, when Liane was visiting from sunny and smog-filled Los Angeles, we walked through downtown Manhattan where the temperatures felt well below freezing thanks to that wind tunnel effect the skyscrapers create. I was wearing what could be compared to a single layer of gauze under a winter coat sans gloves and scarf. Tuesday night, I made the same mistake by heading to the Canal Room to see
Teitur (pronounced like tighter) perform wearing two gossamer layers this time instead of one and with a scarf. It was still as cold as a witch's tit. Fro-zen.
I saw
Robots this weekend and Twentieth Century Fox and Blue Sky still aren't as good as Pixar. Too many nonsequitors, not enough plot.
Side note: When a boyfriend "jokes" that he was considering making reservations at Vitello's instead of where he ends up taking you, it is not funny ha-ha, it's a threat. For those who don't watch "A Current Affair" or any of the entertainment television news programs, that's where "Baretta" star, Robert Blake, had his last meal with Bonnie Lee Bakley, his wife whom he did not want to marry or have a child with, when she was shot to death outside the restaurant while he was retrieving his gun that he left at the table inside. He left the gun at the table, but he remembered his car keys and wallet--some responsible dad he is.

After two long years of growing my mane, I sped to Serenity Spa on Good Friday and had Enrico lop off 13 inches to donate to Locks of Love. I now sport a short, bob-like fuss of a 'do which looks great shaggy. It feels good to not have to pull my hair up everyday though it also means I have to use a shower cap to keep my ends dry. I feel like I'm going to surgery when I have to take a shower these days. Lots of people expressed their dismay when I said I was going to cut my hair. Apparently, some of my friends thought short hair would draw attention to how unattractive I am and only the long hair would be able to camouflage my hideous disfigured face. I was wondering why kids were hanging around me again. The overall consensus (if you can count 3 people's opinions as a large enough group to base popular opinion on) is that it looks great and my Quasimodo-like features are still deceptively hidden from frightful view.
