Cool...

The girl who sits next to me at work turned up this morning with fluorescent pink spiked hair. I guess I'm okay to dye mine purple when I next get bored then :)

I might get my nose pierced again too... I quite liked the way it looked with a small stud in it when I had it pierced a few years back. I didn't much enjoy getting it pierced (yes, I am a wuss), but it wasn't so bad that I wouldn't do it again. Unlike my navel piercing. Which seems to be growing out, damn it.

In other news, I was sucked in by the excessive gravitional field of a comic shop yesterday... I was just walking past, and suddenly my I found myself at the till and my wallet was much lighter. I've acquired the first couple of graphic novels in the Transmetropolitan series, and the first one has made me laugh out loud a few times already. I can see me accumulating the rest of those at a higher speed than is fiscally sensible.

I have a guest from the US staying at my place this week. I'm pleased to say that she voted before she left the country, for Kerry of course :) A few mailing lists I'm on have been discussing the US election recently, and several people have observed that although they have no interest in UK politics, they're actually quite concerned about who wins in the states. Personally I can never quite understand people who aren't interested in politics, but it is interesting that they realise how important the US election could be to their lives, even when they fail to realise how important our own elections might be.

on the subject of tourists, i seem to recall you saying that you didn't know what to show people in london, can i recommend london walks? (http://london.walks.com/)...

basically you just turn up at the location at the walks time pay some dosh and then follow round the tour guide who are sort of charismatic history geeks.

It's a much better standard of tour than open top bus things, most of london is history and these people are very good at conveying that. ( ghosts of the old city is a good one for setting up a saturday evening)

How long have you had your navel piercing for? Mine seem to be bahaving very well and not growing out unlike my nipple piercing.

I had mine done about 7 or 8 years ago I think. It took nearly a year to heal, but since then it's been absolutely fine. It's only in the last year that it's started to seem like it's growing out, which has taken me by surprise. I like the way it looks, but I really don't think I want to sit through getting it redone if it does grow out :-\

I understand. I don't know what I'd do if the middle one grew out. I think the outer two would look wierd on their own. I've had the middle one done about 5 years now I think.

Sometime go get a facial and let them go nuts on your nose extracting blackheads (if you have any). Suddenly the nose piercing process will be nice by comparison. I went to bootie school (er, beauty school) for a short time and got to experience the pain, when I finally got my nose stud it was mild.
