dithering

Having had this haircut for almost a month now, I've decided I like it. It's about as low-maintenance as a haircut that involves mousse can get. So the question is, do I get it cut shorter, since putting it up only works when it needs washing, or do I leave it alone? And if I do get it cut shorter, do I wait and find out whether I get any refund on my taxes and do it with that money, or do I just go ahead and damn the torpedoes and do it?

Traditionally, I spend tax refund money (if I get any) on things I want but don't normally budget for. When I had income, that was splurge money. Nowadays, it's little indulgences money. I'm not sure where haircuts fall on that scale.

Besides, I don't have my W2 form yet, so I can't do my taxes, so I don't know whether I'm getting any money back, so this whole discussion is theoretical anyway.

If it would stop snowing for half an hour, I'd go grocery shopping.

little computer-related things amuse little minds...

It's absolutely ridiculous how much fun I'm having adding songs to the Fruit & Bait list. That's the list of all of my favorite songs off various CDs. I think part of it is the novelty of having a CD drive that's completely enclosed; instead of a drawer, all it has is a slot you stick the CD in. (Which means, of course, that I'm screwed if I ever get a CD stuck in there, but I'm not thinking about that.)

Anyway, the list is creeping up on six hours long and contains stuff that would never go together in anyone's brain but mine. Whee!

I also had some minor fun with icons. I discovered a set of Oxford gargoyle icons and promptly put one of those in as my hard drive icon. I think I'll have to plug in Mango Karma and give it one too. That seems to be another one of my rules for my computers; they have to have silly names and drive icons other than the ones they come with.

I don't know why I do that. Just because, I guess. The same reason that my cell phone display says Merp.
