I can't decide

I got a new hair cut and I'm trying to determine if my long bangs are Roy Mustang's or The Penguin's....going with the latter. head desk.

Went with the parentals to Bed Bath and Beyond so Dad could take back what I got him for the holidays. It was a cool gear clock BUT the hands blended into the clock so it wasn't worth it. He ended up using the money to buy some garage light at Costco's. God I wish we had a Costco's in my part of OH. I love them.

Ugh now my brother isn't coming tomorrow and I'm stuck with those two prejudiced twits with NO ONE between me and them. So thrilled.

I snagged this from dragonydreams. It sounds like fun. Comment 'hi' and I will put my playlist on shuffle, write down the first line of five songs and give it to you as a poem.

I caught a mini-marathon of Forever. I know this show is failing and certainly flawed but I kinda enjoyed it. Ioan Gruffydd does it for me so that helps.
