¡Tengo pelo corto!

Today, I got my hair cut short! I've been wanting to do this for a while, and I feel so good now that I have. My head is liberated! Seriously, though, this was long overdue. I've had my hair more or less shoulder-length for the entirety of my life, and the most drastic hair decision until just recently was to grow out my bangs in the fourth grade. I can't stop running my hands through it to feel the shortness; it'll be so weird to shampoo it. Anyway, I'm extremely pleased with the way it turned out, and it's exciting to see someone new in the mirror.

A new season of Project Runway premiers tomorrow! Needless to say, I'm shamelessly stoked. Yes, it airs on Lifetime, thrives on ad hominem drama, and is basically a vessel for product placement, but I thoroughly enjoy it. I love me a dose of trashy pop culture every once in a while. Speaking of television and film and whatnot, I saw Inception last week. I thought it was a good film, especially compared to the endless stream of awful movies that seem to dominate the cinemas. Although I don't feel it was quite as smart as it purported to be, it was definitely of the thoughtful, mind-bending sort. Trying to keep track of what was a dream and what was reality-- and then seeing how reality became increasingly relative-- was one of the most engaging aspects of the film. While some movies with an all-star cast don't rock it, Inception definitely did. While I'm not in the mood to do a full review, I do recommend that you see it if you get the chance.
