Since all my hair is expected to fall out, as with a ficus, any day now, I figured I would do something unlikely with it.
So now, with Ali’s help, I have cool blue hair. This was the night of the coloring and my hair was seriously blue then.
The next day, being saturday, I went into town to get a gyro, some bubble tea, and my comic books. Yes, I read comic books. I read lots of things. Vick was along as usual, as were Denise, Ali, Amy, and Dave. Anyway, you can see my blue hair was a big hit. Denise seems to like it. One thing you’ll notice about Denise when you see her in many photos: she’s very photogenic. I, on the other hand, am looking a bit flabby. I think not exercising for a month hasn’t done me any wonders. I still weigh exactly the same (actually a few pounds less) as I did a month ago, but I’m sure I’ve lost some muscle. I’ve resolved to head back into the club tomorrow, even though my ankle still pains me. It needs to be done!
Here we are on the way to the gyro place. You can see that even 2 weeks post chemo my hair is thick and luxurious.
At the end of our time in the U District, Heather joined up with us. She had been promised a movie, but Denise and the lovely day conspired to trick us into going to the zoo instead. It was pretty fun for the first hour or so, but then my ankle started to hurt. By the end of the day, my left foot was in complete disrepair. We had thought to go to the zoo just to kill a couple hours before seeing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the IMAX theater, but that didn’t work out at all. It took a while to get there and we couldn’t have seen much and gone to the movie. We spent a good deal of time searching for baby tigers, only to find they had retired at 2pm. At least we saw some lions and komodo dragons.
By the time 5 rolled around, a few of us were ready to join the penguins and break out of the zoo. We continued the day at Pacific Place where we ate at Gordon Biersch (sp?). I had a tasty blackened mahi mahi on a bun with cajun remoulade sauce. After eating, we stopped by the bookstore and I bought a few items, one of which is titled How to Read a Book. Obviously, I’ll need to read this one first. At some point in Barnes & Noble, Heather got a phone call and had to bizounce.
Sad for the rest of us and for her, for after leaving the bookseller’s, we went to see The Aristocrats at the Cineplex Odeon. It was probably the raunchiest movie I have seen. Ever. But it was also wicked funny. I advise anyone who is not offended and enjoys a good laugh to see this film. However, if you are easily (or even reluctantly) offended, this movie may not be for you. I think everyone I saw it wth other than Dave was at least a bit offended at parts. Of course, I wasn’t, since I am impossible to offend.
After the movie, Dave and I got a ride to my house where we watched Stargate: Atlantis. Then Dave left and it was bedtime for Johnzo.
