sharplittleteethFriday:
Got sick of orange hair, and re-dyed it. Mixed left over red, with left over purple. Hair now a pleasing burgundy.
Saturday
Pancakes and Xena DVDs. Then![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
andricongirl and I went to buy the bed I looked at last weekend- an extra-supportive mattress, and a base with drawers.
The price tag quoted $899 for the ensemble. We were all set to buy it, when the salesman admitted that the listed price was for a plain base. Despite said price tag sitting on a display model with drawers in the base. The fancy base cost an extra $500.
Since reading Syrup during the week, I've seeing moronic sales tricks like these everywhere. They're like spam -- easy to spot, but it's annoying that you have to expend the effort.
We left, slightly grumpy, to look in other stores.
Didn't find a bed, but Angelica bought a digital camera, and I got some rather funky strap-on ankle/wrist weights. Came home, cooked pasta. Lenthorngirl some of our boxes so she can move. Stayed up late and watched some Rage.
Finally got to see the Johnny Cash cover of "Hurt". It's a beautiful song. The Reznor original is a beautiful lament. But Cash's cover struck me as a prayer, l compassionate and despairing and struggling for hope for this fucked-up little world.
Or maybe that was just the video.
Sunday
Woke up dreaming about Beauty and Pseudo-Beauty, evolution and death.
More bed shopping. Trapped in Ikea with all the other damned and wandering ghosts. But we found a decent bed base. Also bought a tv stand and yet another bookcase.
They have some very odd soft toys there- rabbit pelts and amorphous blobs that look like mutated foetuses.
