There are few things as amusing as telling the Jehovah's Witnesses that have come to the door that your adorable and friendly puppy's name is "Darwin," and then watch as they blink at you and laugh in nervous, but polite surprise.

(I then went into detail about how "Darwin" is also one of the capital cities in Australia, AND how some breeders will put a pup down for a mismark, and given those two things, it seemed a very apropos name. I think we talked more about Aussies than we did about religion.)

I sent in his AKC paperwork yesterday.  His official "pedigree name" is "Lazy L's Darwinian Selection."  (And he's totally getting a little AKC tag with his registration number on it, because I'm a dork and signed him up for their "lifetime lost and found" program.)

And in crate-training news, we had a piddle accident in the crate this morning.  :(  He had room enough to go to one corner and piddle, which may mean I need to adjust the crate again.  I did that, and I'm also thinking about setting an alarm for 4 hours into the night, so he can get a little potty break.  This will also allow me to get a little more sleep, though broken into segments.  I know he can do a five hour stretch in there with no problems.  It's that sixth hour that's tripping him up, poor little guy.

Okay, so...

Bunneh went to get a haircut today.

*taps fingers nervously*

My hair was short to begin with.  Quite a few people on my f-list can attest to this.  It was a short, asymmetric bob that was longer in the front than the back, and longer on the right side than the left.  I also had a single chunky blond streak on the right side.

Anyway, I was getting a little tired of it.  Thought about evening off the left and right sides, but keeping the back-to-front asymmetric cut.

So... I'm standing there, in the salon, and Wynne (my hairdresser for at least ten years) was in the back, and I picked up a book and started thumbing through it, and... I found a cut that I fell in love with.  Except it was a LOT shorter than I'd ever gone before.  A lot.

I have almost no hair now.  The asymmetric bob?  Gone.  It's... the style is kind of hard to describe, actually.  It's got kind of long bangs (the bangs reach my nose), and it was cut mostly with a razor, and...  clearly I'm going to have to take a picture, because I can't describe it at all.  Except?  It's... seriously hawt.  (I actually think, unless my memory fails me, it looks quite a bit like [livejournal.com profile] miyun's haircut, which I've seen in some of the pics she's posted.)

Also, the blond streak?  Kind of also gone.  (We cut that much off.)  And with the new cut, blond didn't really look like it'd suit the style.  So... we went red.  Red-red.  Not Manic Panic red, but.... definitely red.  I think I'm going to color the rest of my hair a darker brown to better complement it. 

I love it, but... part of me is missing my asymmetric bob.  But, wow.  It's been a while since I've felt this sexy walking out of my salon.  It's all short and messy and... yes, I do like it quite a bit.  But it's going to take some getting used to.  (And product.  Lots of product.)

Let's not talk about the part where I had told Tora-kun I was thinking about growing my hair out long again...
