DIY haircut

i cut my hair last night, with extra trimming this morning. i cut a bunch off in the back, and angled it a little more steeply toward my jaw. it looks pretty good for a self-trim performed with a razor blade. :-D i think i have the "technique" down for this bobbed cut: hack here, hack there, until the shape and swing please.

glaucon asked me the other day if i think i'll ever dye my hair again. i said "no," and i probably won't dye or bleach it in its entirety again (that was a pain in the ass to maintain), but i don't want to give a definitive answer. i might put a streak here or there someday. i was a tarty bleach blonde (most foul and unnatural) when he met me, with hair just above my shoulders. before that i had dark red hair. then i cut it off boy-short. now it's like this, its natural dishwater color, and the same basic style i have been returning to again and again since high school, with some shape modifications of course. who knows what i'll do?

this raises another interesting question. for me, anyway. maybe for you this will seem from left field. the editor's spell checker function raised it, though, not me:

how do you spell blonde/blond?

(i won't post the song again...)
