I'm Jacknifing – I'm Laughing Really Hard

Dec 2009 – original post

To Jacknife – when you burst out laughing, so hard and so suddenly, you involuntarily fold in half at the waist.
Usually accompanied by a large exhale of breath.

Got it into UrbanDictionary.com

(here’s the original post and video)

The origins of the word go back to the ’09 post, and further #BenefitOfBlogging

Another time I visualized my laugh, click here to see.

(I’d forgotten about this video until last night, went and watched it, which is why this post)

 

I Have the Messy Updo Down

This was done blindly in 60 seconds, 1 tiny clip and 4 bobby-pins.

Guess which hairstyle is about to come into vogue…
the messy updo BOOM
I’ll be accidentally in fashion

The blonde’s looking good these days eh (remember the urine-head times? Those were dark times)

Here’s Niki and I hard at work on ‘Illusion Head’ – a healthy, bright blonde approach Niki dreamed up.

Illusion Head – looks like bright blond hair,
but it’s actually a small amount of cleverly-placed highlights,
so the hair stays healthy

I’m oversimplyfying it, but look back on photos from the last couple months, when we really started to make progress.

Fish Manicure

They’re tiny, carnivorous fish that eat your dead skin.

The woman the feet belong to caught me staring at her, beckoned me over, then said I could stick my hand in to try.

Doesn’t hurt, feels neat.  The UV light keeps it sterile, and I heard the fish’s enzymes help soften your skin, too.

 

Back from 5 Days in Mexico

Arrived Thursday night, worked Friday, finished at 6:30pm, and then I didn’t open my laptop again till now.

I checked my phone a handful times for emergencies, but I was offline 99% offline. Barely even documented, for either folder.

Hola.

Now that’s a MegaCurtain.

Such graininess in the photo below. I’m still convinced that cel phone cameras come with built-in degradation.

Last time I blogged that, it spurned some good IRL debates with good sources, but still not sold.

This dress was in this gift bag xo S.

Like how I sit at the beach?

Hi hi from my towel-nest.

I’m always cold.  And inside, where the A/C is cranked to 11 omg; by the end of a dinner I can’t feel below my shins.

Only thing I bought while gone.

It was a great break, and nice to be back online.

Goodmorning, I missed you.
