So I'm in the hair salon getting my second perm in four days. Yikes. Unfortunately, my original hairdresser is on vacation now, so someone else is doing it. Which means more won, baby, more won. One Benjamin's worth, actually. Argh. This is ending up costing much more than I thought it would. I can only hope that I like the result this time.

There's a bowl-full of white goop on my hair, which is in rollers now, setting into the shape it will be for the next year. A bit weird to think of it that way, but there it is.
