Speaking of hair chemical disasters...

Where can one buy peroxide/bleach powder for bleaching out your hair? I tried the beauty supply shop in the strip mall beside Chapters near Polo Park and was told I could only buy it if I were a licensed stylist.

I know you can get the one-use bleach kits at The Crypt but I'd like to not spend $15 every time I need to touch up my roots.

That's what we call a 'Chinese Tip'.

If you go to Manhattan from Long Island through the Midtown Tunnel at night, after getting out of the tunnel you will find yourself surrounded by lots of big, flashy, and expensive billboards on both your left and right.

...And if you've ever played the game 'EINHANDER' (1997/1998) for PlayStation One, it will probably remind you of the second part of Stage One.

hair

I NEED your help guys. I went to a hair salon to get my hair dyed and it came out horrible. I went to get it fixed and still - no bueno.

Anyone have any recommendations for a hairdresser that is good with blonde color and isn't too expensive?

:( thank you

Where can I buy a nice mens sized white chefs apron? It doesn't have to be completely white. I want to buy one as a gift for a relative and then embroider his name on the front. I checked at zellers, sears, etc, but they don't even have aprons period.

If you missed the original post, or simply haven't had the chance to make a donation, please consider doing so. It would mean a lot to her. And her dad.

Best Campaign Slogan Ever

Hat-tip Dan Carter...

Larry Sinclair, the man who claimed that he "took drugs and had homo sex with Obama" is now running for Congress in Florida’s 24th district as an "Independent."

His slogan?



"I served my time, now it's time I serve my Country."

Sinclair, author of Barack Obama & Larry Sinclair: Cocaine, Sex, Lies & Murder? and convicted felon, was reportedly offered $10,000 to verify his claims of illicit sex and drug use with then candidate Obama via a polygraph test, which he promptly failed.

But deceit is nothing new for Sinclair. Politico did a bit of digging into his background and found a pattern:
The record includes forgery charges in two states, one of which drew Sinclair a 16-year jail sentence. The Pueblo County, Colo., Sheriff's Office also has an outstanding warrant for Sinclair's arrest for forging an acquaintance's signature and stealing her tax refunds.

Sinclair has been convicted of larceny, theft, check forging and credit card fraud and has served over 16 years in prison in Florida and Colorado where he was disciplined 97 times for infractions including assault, threats, drug possession, intimidation, and verbal abuse. According to law enforcement records, he also has 13 aliases including "LA Rye Vizcarra Avila" and "Mohammed Gahanan."

“It is what it is,” said a Sinclair spokesman regarding his criminal past.

Help Larry get elected here.

MogileFS Maintenance

Hey LJers,

I just wanted to let you all know that we are going to be performing some mogilefs maintenance over the next few days. We will be upgrading our current version to latest stable as well as changing some db config information to better handle the amount of files we are currently hosting. This shouldn't cause a big impact on site stability, but you may see some minor delays with userpic / scrapbook images appearing or other requests associated with our mogilefs. We would love to not have that happen, but unfortunately with some of the steps we need to take we have to cause a delay with images. I figured this was a better solution than taking down all of LiveJournal because well lets face it, we all need our daily LJ fix ;)

Thanks,

I don't usually post cute cat stuff, but this sure is cute! Although the voice is a little annoying.



The weird thing is, check out the info box on the right. Vomit? Klezmer? Mailbox?? WTF.

House of Sweet Magic: The Animated Films of Helen Hill

The Animated Films of Helen Hill
Introduced by Leslie Supnet
Saturday, December 5, 2009 at 7:00PM
Winnipeg Cinematheque



In an essay for the Atlantic Filmmaker’s Co-operative, writer and filmmaker Amanda Dawn Christie cites several filmmakers who made a significant impact on the Halifax film community. The name that stands out strongest is the late animator Helen Hill. Nobody who worked with or encountered Hill in Halifax has ever forgotten her. Christie says Hill “disrupted the flow of linear filmmaking” through her projects and filmmaking. Recently profiled on CBC’s The Fifth Estate, Hill died tragically at a relatively young age in New Orleans in January of 2007, murdered by a stranger in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.



Hill won the Linda Joy Award twice and in 1996 she was voted Nova Scotia’s Best Director in Halifax’s weekly The Coast. In 1999 and 2000, she attended Phil Hoffman’s Independent Imaging Retreat, to develop her hand-processing technical skills. She utilized these handmade techniques in her filmmaking, including Mouseholes (1999) and Madame Winger Makes a Film (2001). She worked with many different styles including cell, hand drawn and stop motion animation. From her experiences, she also created a reference book of hand-crafted film techniques (Recipes for Disaster: a Handcrafted Film Cookbooklet 2001) for independent animators.

my Great Hairs

I think i saw daul kim in one of the video clips (on the Bruno blue-disc extra features) when I was watching it last night.

...Not totally sure it was her, but it probably was.

Street View.

http://maps.google.ca/?ie=UTF8&ll=49.892976,-97.135534&spn=0.018966,0.038409&t=h&z=15

You got it. Winnipeg's street view launched today. Go to where you want and then drag the little yellow guy to the street. Anyone find themselves? All I found was my old apartment with all of my things in the window, my mom's car parked at her place of employment, and a guy I work with.

I also enjoy the different seasons.

They Never Stop Trying...

...yet somehow, they always end up revealing themselves as walking, talking wind-up dolls:


Posting under the title "How The Government Rations Health Care," our old friend [info]reality_hammer writes:
"Don't say you weren't warned about this. This is how the government 'keeps costs down'. Always at your expense, of course."
To which his dimwitted friends reply:
"Why doesn't Barry just come out and say "Fuck you all! I'm in charge now, biatch!"
And...
"Every good liberal knows that children's lives don't matter as much as adults' lives do. Since they're only half-people it only makes sense that they deserve half-care."

To those of you that haven't undergone a full frontal lobotomy, the utter stupidity is obvious:

1) The Florida Department of Children and Families is not controlled by the federal government (much less "Barry" himself).

2) The Florida Department of Children and Families is not a health care provider. It is a social services agency.

3) The Florida Department of Children and Families is operated under the auspices of the governor's office. A Republican governor.

Yet somehow, it's all Obama's fault.

P.S. You've gotta give ol' Hammer a little credit. At least he hasn't resorted to posting in bold, red typeface like his insane doppelgänger...

Yet, anyway. Give it time.

babykillers

I've been to two different clinics recently where the doctors refused to prescribe me a birth control pill unless I made another appointment for a full physical first. I think this is pretty damned retarded. I understand how they work down to a molecular level. I've looked at a few different kinds and made sure there were no interactions with the other medication I'm on. I'm 23 goddamn years old. Monogamous relationship. No health issues. I should have a physical, yes, but it is my choice. I don't understand why the fuck I should have to have some fuckhead 5 days out of Zimbabwe feeling me up before I can start taking one of the most commonly prescribed fucking things in the world.

So yes. I would like to know where I can go to get a prescription for birth control without a physical.

Much appreciated. :)

Come Hungry, Leave Nauseous

An undercover investigation by the HSUS reveals sickening animal abuse at IHOP's egg supplier...


As you can see, the footage reveals filthy conditions, sick and injured hens, and birds forced to live in cages with the decomposing corpses of other hens.

Each hen laying eggs for IHOP is confined in a battery cage about the size of a file drawer that contains several birds — giving each animal less space than a sheet of paper on which to spend her entire life.

Hard to imagine a more miserable existence.

Major restaurant chains like Denny's, Burger King and Wendy's are already beginning to switch their eggs to cage-free, but IHOP is refusing to take this modest step.

Please call them at (866) 444-5144 and politely urge them to follow their competitors' lead and move away from battery cage eggs. You can also send them a message here.

Reposts on your LJ, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc. appreciated.

"For A Slightly Firmer Behind"

38-year-old former Miss Argentina Solange Magnano has died from complications after undergoing cosmetic surgery... on her buttocks.


Magnano, who won the crown in 1994, died of a pulmonary embolism Sunday after three days in critical condition following a gluteoplasty in Buenos Aires. Close friend Roberto Piazza said the procedure involved injections and the liquid "went to her lungs and brain."

"A woman who had everything lost her life to have a slightly firmer behind," he said.

Dr. Gonzalo Cortes y Tristan said she arrived at his hospital with an acute respiratory deficiency. Her condition deteriorated until she suffered the embolism.

Anyone here ever had cosmetic surgery? If not, would you?
