Apropos of Nothing: Folliculî, Folliculà

Hair.jpg
I can’t look at the right side of this picture without thinking of sound effects like “boing!”

I don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions generally, but this year, I have made one to face a certain reality:

That is not “mostly straight hair” up there. It does not “just need a little goo and it’ll lie down fine.” (It isn’t completely dry yet in that picture, either.) It is a mass of strangle-vines that laughs in the face of most flat-ironing and spits out Loma Pearatin like used chewing gum. However, it is my hair, and this year’s resolution is to arrive at a truce, possibly via a wide-toothed comb and a prayer.

Happy New Year, everybody!

J. A.

It reads. It writes. It watches. It researches. It overdoes many of those things!
