I Must Get My Hair Cut!!!!

I dig my gal Juliette Binoche's hair cuts of the past several years so she is now my current hair muse. Question is, which should I choose?

So Glad it's NOT Me

Tis my first opportunity to exclaim my pure joy at not having to drive in the evil weather that is now South Dakota. Nope. Not me. Not it.

And a final HHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEE

Finally!

THis is the best photo of the Rockefeller Plaza goings-on last night (taken on my Crackberry), which I made an appearance after work. Last night was one of those glorious nights I was glad to live here, let's just put it that way.

I won't go on about the election results, naturally I'm ecstatic that Obama won. No kidding. I am certain that you, like most people I know, are glad it's over and that we can stop hearing all the campaign ads and whatnot (elections are not whatnot). And, I am certainly tired of hearing everyone's take on it (just this morning, on the subway a woman commented to her friend, "Pretty much all women voted for Obama" really, tell that to some of my friends, women friends, who I can assure you did not). But, I will say (with fingeeees crossed for Franken) there is a recount in my home state that will provide much-needed lingering drama.
