will I ever learn? c'mon, c'mon.

Today I saw my scalp for the first time in about five or six years. Not intentionally, mind you. I was trimming my hair with a razor because that's what I do and my mind started drifting. Apparently new razor + lack of proper attention = bad fucking move on my part. I felt pain and then felt scalp. Jumped out of the shower (where I was doing this, I should mention) and saw in the mirror. A chunk of hair to the right (left if you're looking at me) of my forehead, gone with a little scalp missing too. Not a lot of blood, but certainly enough that if I was squeamish I would've panicked. I'm not, so I didn't. I'm lucky enough in the sense that I'll be able to somewhat cover it up with the rest of my hair. I'll be unlucky enough in the sense that anyone who pays enough attention to the top of my head will notice it and I'll have to explain the event a million fucking times. Fortunately I grow hair like a motherfucker and so it shouldn't be completely bare more than a day or two. Still, I'm supposed to hang with my usual gang of friends tomorrow, so ridicule awaits.

What else is new? I've started watching Rescue Me from the beginning all over again. For the very out of the loop it's Dennis Leary's show on FX. Tuesdays at 10. Season Five is about four episodes in and great so far, so I decided to go back to the start. I should've done that before the new season started, but whatever. It's great stuff.

I'm going to see Star Trek tonight. The movie has a lot going against it, no matter how great it looks. Being an odd numbered entry in the series, it's bound to be terrible or at the very least only "okay". Plus anyone who is a fan of the Original Series is going to be judging the new actors either subconsciously or consciously. This very well could be a disaster. Personally I'm trying to go in with as low expectations as possible but the trailer's have been so great that it's hard to keep my hopes down for this thing. I'll try and put up a post or an edit after I see it.

Later.
