Garrett Hedlund, the holographic universe, and my new hair cut!!

PART 1: Garrett Hedlund

So I was watching Georgia Rule today (I so hope that's not how Lindsay Lohan is in real life) - and I noticed a cute guy in the movie. A really, really, really cute guy. Okay so usually I'm not one to fall for the "boyish good looks" bit, but I definitely did for this movie. Even though he has a boyish face - it's very mature. He has probably the best eyes I've ever seen on a guy, and the best smile too. And the hair? Pheww.

So anyways I looked up his name on IMDB.com (the internet movie database for those of you who didn't know what IMDB stood for) and his name is Garrett Hedlund. This sounded vaguely familar. I then checked to see what other movies he played in: Troy, Eragon, Four Brothers.

Me: "...I DO know that guy! I thought he was hot in every one of those movies..."

Astonished by my memory failure, I checked the pictures to see why I didn't recognize him as the same person in any two of those movies. In every movie he has a very different haircut, and it REALLY changed what he looked like... but every time, I still thought he was hot. Light hair, dark hair, long hair, NO hair.

So in conclusion:
1) I am most definitely a Garrett Hedlund fangirl now, I just can't help myself.
2) I might actually be a sucker for 'boyish good looks' after all
3) and I thought I only really liked dark haired guys... Pffftt!


PART 2: The Holographic Universe

So I'm reading this book right now called, you guessed it - The holographic universe - by Michael Talbot. I checked it out from the library along with The Elegant Universe by someone whose name escapes me. Anyways, I found them on amazon.ca one day and thought they might be thought provoking... and by no means do i enjoy math nor am I passionate about science; but I am continually dumbfounded by the mystery of the universe. I like this book because it explains the holographic model: the only model or hint of a 'theory' (this term is used loosely) that can explain the many things that modern science falls short of with it's present array of theories and laws. It's simply said, and each idea mentioned is, in the book, supported by study or reason. Large scientific words are used only when needed, and always explained before incorporated. In fact, for the visual learners, Talbot has even included diagrams and other helpful images to guide the reader through unknown territory. I've only just started the book; but Talbot has already addressed the plausibility of truth in the holographic model by drawing parallels with human vision and memory. I scanned through the latter half of the book to notice topics brought up such as dreams, hypnotism and near death experiences (or NDE's) - three things I've been incredibly interested in since the day they were introduced to me. I've already added a few books about these select topics to my Amazon.ca wishlist for future reading!

Anyways, I just want to note that it's an awesome book so far, and I'm fighting the urge to pick it up right now and spend the rest of the night reading it because I'm swimming in outstanding history homework; the kind that has yet to be completed.

...which brings me to my last note.


PART 3: My new haircut!

I got my hair cut! W00tage, finally. Okay so I took my bangs off the left side of my face and crossed them over my forehead to the right, because my forehead cries for bangs and they make my eyes pop more this way :D
And then for the rest of my hair I just got the usual: an inch off, re layered, special stuff put in.

I felt great when I got there though, because Heather my hairdresser said to me "I don't know what you're doing here! Your hair looks great - and I like it long like that."

and I laughed and thanked her and made note that i probably had a least a few dead ends that could be laid to rest (yeah it's lame, but that's how I roll). So she strapped me in with that big black shiny cloak thing and we got started :D

After the cut she sprayed the natural flow out of my hair with just about a whole can of hairspray, and with heather not only do you have to close your eyes when she sprays hair spray at you; you have to stop breathing or you'll die.

So i got home and loosened it up a bit, but left most of it in because my hair has to be re-trained to stay the way it looked then. I'll probably pick up some bobby-pins and clips tomorrow and just leave them in my hair all day (and I'll do it after school this week) in order to make the transition as smooth and fast as possible!

Anyways its SUPER CUTE and I like it; it even looks good up which my hair never does. Plus I can still see, which is a bonus haha ;).


IN CONCLUSION

So that's about it. Pointless, I know.. but I just had to write something happy, right? after 4977 depressing words, you'd think I was the typing dead! Thing is, I'm normally happy - just not a happy writer. It's like Dallas Green with his music. He's normally a happy guy - but the majority of his music is sad or thoughtful. Why? Because music, art and literature are mediums of human expression - and often the bitter emotions are the hardest to get rid of without pouring out your soul.

Et puis, il faut que je continue avec ma travaille. Je déteste les devoirs, plus que normale pendant la weekend...

so bai!
