Where the Hell is Matt? At Yahoo!

Matt Harding, of the website Where the Hell is Matt?, recently paid a visit to the Yahoo! campus. For those who haven't heard of him, Matt travels around the world and does a goofy dance in various locales. He often dances with the locals. This year's video is excellent, be sure and check it out.

I wanted to be in on the fun so I went down with Jack and had lunch with Chris, and then took part in the dancing on the green outside the cafeteria. They just posted the video on the Yahoo! blog. Matt danced all over campus and the part we were in is very brief, right at the end of the video. You can't really see us, but we're standing in the circle at the top left of the Y.

UPDATE: There's a photo of us on Flickr right before the dancing started. We're just to the right of the white light post. In fact that's Jack's diaper bag next to the post.. :) Thanks Mom for finding us!

I Fought the Curl, and the Curl Won

For 36 years, I've wished for straight hair. I've been going to the same hairdresser for nearly 10 years, and every time I have him blow-dry it straight. All day I say "I love my hair!" and the next time I take a shower, when the straightness gives way to the huge hair that's always been my nemesis, I shed silent tears.

Ok, I don't really cry, but I do wish it could be straight all the time.

My hairdresser's moving out of the state, so I decided to finally try going to someone new. She was all about the curl, so I let her loose. I have to say: I like it! The big question is, will I be able to make it look that way on my own? I think I'll have a good chance at it: she just put some product in and twirled the hair into ringlets and let it air-dry. Never too old to try something new, right?
