booksarelifeI forgot how much I don't like blow drying my hair!! I don't do it at school because there aren't any convenient outlets and I usually end up showering at night and towel drying it a bit and then going to sleep and it's also just extra effort and time that I don't need to put in but today I had to be ready to go out at a certain time and my hair hadn't dried all the way so I had to blow dry it.
On the up side, my parents just finished having the bathroom next to my sister's room and my room redone, so now there are two sinks so I wasn't taking up all the space, which was good.
I also have something stuck in my head that I don't think I've heard in about a month, it's the version of Tzadeek katamar that the Jewish Student Union at my college does when this song is part of the Shabbat service. (I'm not Jewish, but I have a bunch of Jewish friends and since their services are open to everyone, I had been meaning to go for a while, and only got around to it last year, when they did a Shabbat directed at/focused on LGBTQIA Jews and the intersection of those identities, and I've been going basically every week I'm at school and not literally doing something during that time, and it's been really nice. At the last Shabbat of the semester, I figured out that I'd, without intentionally trying, memorized the candle blessing enough to cover my eyes during it.) And I don't have the whole of Tzadeek katamar running through my head, I have bits of it running through my head, usually just one or two lines. It's one of those things where I don't mind it being stuck in my head, I like the song (is it called a song?), but brain, why this? I think something about the way most of the things sung during Shabbat have a really easy to learn and remember rhythm, combined with the fact that in many cases lines are repeated more than once, that makes them really susceptible to being snatched up by my brain and repeated over and over. (Also the JSU at school often repeats Tzadeek katamar several times, each time faster and faster to see how fast we can go within reason, so it's probably extra ingrained in my brain.)
I saw Bohemian Rhapsody last night with my family and it was amazing!! I don't know much about Queen or Freddie Mercury, so I can't comment on the accuracy of anything, but I really liked the movie, even when it was sad, and the LiveAid concert part was really spectacular! In another case of my brain being weird, the part that stuck in my brain the most was the about 10 seconds of Under Pressure that played, because it reminded me that when I was in high school, I spent about a couple months on the drill team at the barn I rode at (basically we rode horses in unison in fancy patterns, with a couple people holding flags and banners, and the one performance I rode in we picked Under Pressure and something else I can't remember for our music and half of the 8 of us, I think, dressed up as Freddie Mercury. So somewhere there are pictures or videos of me riding a horse dressed in a white tank top, white jeans (that were on the edge of being too small because they were from Walmart or something), a leather jacket and fake mustache.
