A sad, constant bid for attention

Ok, fine. I am just trying to get past that. All I am saying is that if you were not so judgmental, I would have no reason not to like you. I don't know if you care or not. What I do know is that it would make Not Bob happy if people liked you more.

I used to sort of look up to Not Bob. I thought of him as a friendly old-timer. A gracious fellow back from the days when lawyers were civil and cordial to each other, even though they were locked in mortal combat on behalf of their clients. You know, like a Matlock, quaint, grandfatherly-type, who also had an eye, albeit a respectful eye, for the young ladies. Before the world got hard. But now, I really just have to question his manhood and judgment. I mean really. Grow a pair (or just one) and get angry. Quit being so fucking nicey-nice. I know you have it in you, because you release it in your socks. Tell me to fuck off, something. Jesus.

At my last hair appointment, my stylist told me that she had installed a water filter in her shower and that it had made her hair look much better. Although it reminds me of Jonathan from Blow Out, and therefore seems like BS, I am somewhat intrigued. Has anyone tried this? How would this work? (In lieu of shower head attachement, or behind it?)

My mother installed one in her shower in Colorado because the water was turning her hair green (she is a bleached blonde).

It's the Jonathan one and it screws on in lieu of a showerhead I believe.

I don't know if it changed the texture of her hair but it did stop it turning green.

(It is apparently my day to tell stories about my parents.)

I got thrown out of the Union League Club today for wearing jeans. Not faded, frayed, wrinkled, cut the lawn or paint the house jeans. Brand new jeans. Clean, pressed, fitting jeans. With a Prince of Wales plaid shirt and a black cashmere blazer.

What the fuck? I was surrounded by a bunch of drones wearing their Dockers or their widewale cords, many of them looking as though they had slept in their trousers. Most of these men were not wearing jackets, or tailored shirts.

But I got thrown out for wearing jeans. Tight-assed club assholes.

Translation: I am really pissed at myself for not reading the dress code on the website.

I say go back tomorrow it wrinkled jeans and tell them to suck it because it's saturday.

My previous hairdresser recommended this regime and I tried it for about 6 months. Not only did my hair smell dirty (at least to me) but it actually got drier. It was oily on my scalp and drier on the ends.

Then I changed hairdressers. Now I use a shampoo for dry hair and a heavy duty conditioner. I use Kerastase products, which is a L'Oreal line. I only get my hair cut about twice a year but when I do, I also get a "gloss." It's some kind of salon-only deep conditioner. There is an option to get a tint, if one is so inclined.

I think the factor not being considered in this conversation is water. My place seems to have extremely hard water which is in turn hard on my hair.

PPNYC, another thing to try is using Neutrogena for 2 weeks and then go back to the tired products. Or use the Neutrogena once a week on a regular basis.

I usually work out on both Weds and Thurs, so next Thurs I will try rinsing but not washing.

I took a friend to the Harvard Club once, and they wouldn't even let us sit in the GRILL ROOM!!! because she was wearing jeans. They did deign to let us sit in the lobby, though.

ETA: And we showed them by getting good and liquored up, and making spectacles of ourselves.

OK, not really -- but we should have.

I'm not a member. I was invited by a friend to celebrate my getting a new job. He told me that casual was fine because we were going to be eating in the grill room.

I don't blame him. But I respect him a little less for not resigning on the spot in protest.

I could understand the Dining Room, but the grill room? Honestly!

Why didn't she just take the jeans off? I would have. ETA: This is also known as "whipping out your pussy" or "whipping out precious."

[TRUE STORY] When I lived in Spain I was training for a marathon and would run perhaps 8 or 9 miles away from where I lived and then back. From time to time, I would have to go pee while on my run. One day I was DYING and about to pee my pants so I went into a little restaurant (not a fancy one, just a hole in the wall, really) and asked to use the bathroom. They said not unless I bought something. I explained that I was out running and had no money and really had to go. They said no. I said, "Fine. Then I'll just go right outside your doorway," and I proceeded to position myself as though I was about to drop trou and just go, you know, how we do it in the States. They let me use the bathroom. (And I changed my route after that too.)[TRUE STORY]
