so this is shaping up to be a hellacious week. nonstop action from here to next monday, i kid you not. today was my only day off (well, relatively speaking) until after the weekend. and, i'm getting a cold. joy oh fucking joy.

tuesday, tomorrow, i am going to get my hair done. this is a big step for me since i haven't seen a professional stylist since i was a senior in high school. isn't that weird? anyway i have decided that i am sick of being a brunette (stupid seattle, not bleaching out my hair the way it should be) and am going blonde. with a capital B. plus i am going to get layers put in. Expect pictures, unless i hate myself and want to die afterwards. But this probably means that I'm going to have to persuade Lance to take a new headshot, since my hair will be radically different than it is now, and a headshot should look like you look, surprises at interviews are bad. with any luck, though, i will be walking out of there looking something like this.

Wednesday is the season premiere of America's Next Top Model! which basically consists of me sitting on my ass, watching this show and thinking (and talking to anyone who will listen) about how I would be way better at it than anyone else on the show. For the record, I submitted my application for season 5 a few weeks ago, complete with bad-ass photos by Lance and an even badder-ass video by mike (my old roommate). Who will go on to become America's Next Top Model? Tune in to find out. (My money is on Naima, but that means that she will come in third, like my favorite each season so far (Elyse, Shandi, Amanda)).

So, after Top Model Wednesday comes Top Model Thursday, on which date I have an interview with a "couture design studio" in Pioneer Square for a fashion show in May. Talk about being on top of their game. The last fashion show I did was thrown together at the last minute... with a walk-through twice about an hour before the show started. This one has rehearsals - twice a week - for the month leading up to the show. Plus fittings and all that fun stuff. I hope I get paid for this one, that'd be fuckin' sweet. But I will be absolutely positive to get good pictures and maybe even video this time, so that I have it for my portfolio (still haven't tracked down any photos from the last one, dammit).

And then, after Thursday, comes Friday. Friday the outlaws (they're not my inlaws, so they must be outlaws) are coming... and staying the weekend (in a hotel, not our apartment, thank christ). I am refraining from commenting on this matter in this forum. Needless to say it will be an interesting weekend.

In other news... my transcripts arrived at the UW office of admissions on time, which makes me very happy - wouldn't it suck to not get in just because a transcript didn't get there? They also got my financial aid app, but I have to amend that due to a straggling W-2 that I had forgotten about... My favorite goldfish, Agent Scully, kicked the bucket this week due most likely to my own stupid neglect, and two of my other fish are sick and undergoing anti-fungal treatment... the cats went fucking crazy this morning around 5am waking us both up and causing us to talk about giving Maxwell away (not seriously, but almost) - and then we saw on the news that there were 3 4.5ish earthquakes off the southern tip of Vancouver Island this morning at 5am, so it makes perfect sense that the kitties were flipping...
