My Love and I got together with Rand and met up with Kali and a married couple she had met just recently to see a late afternoon showing of Austin Powers: Goldmember. I don’t care what haughty-taughty critics don’t like it, I found it hysterical. We all did. The whole theater was cracking up so loud it was hard to hear some of the lines. Mike Myers is so funny and the spoofs within the movie and the way they make fun of even themselves was the best. Very funny, I’d recommend it for anyone liking the Austin Powers series and/or that sense of humor. (though the movie is best when you are familiar with the other two; I could see someone getting rather confused if they didn’t have them as reference)
After the movies, Kali and her friends went back to their place while Rand, my Love and I went back to my apartment. Kali and her friends came over a couple hours later and we all went out to do some Cosmic Bowling. (This is bowling late at night where they have black lights, strobe lights, and loud [mostly annoying] music playing. It’s silly but fun.) I, of course, came in dead last with a whopping final score of 61 (lol I suck) and my Love came in second with 88. (The wife didn’t play, but the husband came in first at 105 and Kali came in third at 83) My poor shoulder is still killing me from bowling though since my right shoulder has been just wrong for months and I had gone and gotten x-rays and everything but my insurance ran out before we could narrow down the problem. (the short of it is that it pops every time I move it and you can hear bone grinding on bone whenever it moves so flinging bowling balls with it are not the best idea)
After bowling we all went back to the apartment again and my Love made a late night breakfast for everyone and we played DDR for an hour or so. By this point, it was like 3:15am and everyone packed it up and called it a night.
I proceeded to get on the computer and chat and surf mindlessly until I made the post at like 5am realizing it was 5am and that I was freezing and in need of sleep. So endth Saturday.

Rand, my Love and I went over to Best Buy – Rand wanted to shop ‘cause he had a 20% off computer software coupon and then over to Target. I needed a couple things like conditioner and such and I decided to try to return the box of hair color I got free online for one I could use. Problem was, when Herbal Essences was giving away their new shades online and I picked the reddish one, I didn’t know it was for the blackest hair only. Or that it said in big, bold letters not to use on anything but black hair. It wasn’t so much red as it was just a reddish tinting for black hair. Not what I was looking for at all. So I’ve had this box sitting around until I decided yesterday to try to exchange it. I’ve never opened the box or anything and that’s just what I did. Target let me switch it out for another one. This is the one I got…
It’s pretty damned red. My Love picked that one out over another one that I was looking at. (The other one was Ferria or something but it was a darker red) He said that since every time I dye my hair it comes out only half as red as it’s pictured on the box, I should try for a REALLY red and see what happens. Eep. He thought the other one I picked was too brown-tinted-red where as this one is like just RED. I’m just worried because it’s definitely not one of the “gentle on hair” or “no/low ammonia” ones that I’ve been using so I’m panicked it will eat my hair. It would be cool to be a red, redhead so I’m going to try it this week and see what happens. (eep) Anyone with experience with this brand or anything is welcomed to let me know your thoughts.
My Love and I watched a DVD movie later on last night (Three to Tango, funny movie) and that was about it for Sunday.

Just hanging out so far. Writing up my entry offline to save on dial-up minutes. Tomorrow is Rand’s birthday and we may end up going out to eat with him and his mom but I don’t know where. Last year it was this fancy, rich-people kinda restaurant (his parents have money) which was nice enough except every item on the menu contained far too many ingredients for my taste. LOL. Who needs to put that many vegetables on food anyway? Anyway, Rand said he was going to try to figure out what restaurant would satisfy everyone and get back to us. My plans for something I wanted to get Rand for his birthday probably are not going to work now – which stinks ‘cause I tried a lot – but I won’t go into details just yet since he’s been known to read this. (*waves* hi Rand LOL)
Beyond that….not much else going on. Still jonesing to make more jewelry, still not having any supplies to do it. Though Joolo has his daughter this week (my adorable goddaughter), he said we might hang out one day and go in search of beads. Cool.
So, that’s about it. Ta for now.
