Dye

Realized that my favorite hoodie was covered in paint stains....decided to dye it black.

Meh, it was already half-way there.

It's sort of hard to type with these sticky rubber gloves. You know how in the boxes of hair dye they come with these latex gloves or something, and they're coated with powder?

Well, an hour ago, after I dyed my hair and decided, "I should keep these gloves and dye my jacket, too. It'll be a regular Day of the Dyed." I didn't realize that rinsing away the powder would turn the gloves into a sticky mess.

I mean, they're clean, but I have to peel my fingers away from each other every five seconds. I have to type with all of my fingers distinctly spread apart from each other. Can't take them off until I'm finished, or I can assure you I'll never be able to get them back on.

Anyway, I'm stuck sitting here on my toilet for another half-hour, "regularly stirring" and waiting for my jacket to absorb the dye.

And some of the dye splashed little drops around my arm...I look like a fucking dalmatian. And now that it's being absorbed by my skin, they're starting to look like fresh bruises.

Then there's a huge fucking smear on my other arm, looks like a giant bruise. I think if anyone asks I'll tell them I wrestled a bear to the ground or something equally stupid.

Still another twenty-five minutes....Hm.

Well to end the "Sisters" story, my sister went to tell my mother that I wanted to borrow $10...but sound carries around the house. So she laughed hysterically and told us she heard us. So she brought me the ten dollars, and my sister and I met each other half-way, exchanging the goods all at once.

Mami laughed.

And I don't really use iTunes that much, but a lot of the time I run out of luck when I'm trying to find really indie music...and you search and you search....nowhere. It's even worse when it's Japanese indie music or Vietnamese or Finnish or something equally obscure. *facepalm* Then it's not even on iTunes. Sure, it's in the Japanese iTunes Store. But you need a valid address, a name and a Japanese credit card for that to work. American iTunes gift cards do not apply. *seethes* Other available options? Pay $40 for a seven track CD on Amazon that will take fucking forever and a goddamn fortune to ship.

Psh. With that money I can pay to get front row seats to see one of my favorite American Indie bands live.

Still about another fifteen minutes.

I guess I'll just post this. Maybe try adding to the sketch I've been working on.
