The Hair is Gone...

Well, a good chunk of it, anyway. I went to my local stylist, who also works at my comic shop, and she carefully cut off between 10 1/2 and 11 inch ponytails for me to send to Locks of Love. She left about three inches which she then neatly styled into a haircut I can enjoy. But my neck definitely feels odd.

After the haircut, I went up to my hubby's new school and walked on the picket lines with the teachers for a bit. Hubby-Eric wasn't kidding when he told me that the faculty there is a great bunch. They were some of the nicest folks I've met in a long time. They were visited once by the Principal, who I got to meet, who is technically on the Administration's side but like everyone else she just wants her teachers back and school started.

A lot of local parents and students visited while I was there, and many brought food for the teachers. One lady dropped off three dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and a former teacher dropped off a box of cold, fresh apples. While I walked there were lots of shouts of encouragement and cheers from passing cars, and very few sourpusses. The district may be paying tons of money into PR, but it seems that most people in Marysville are not impressed by it. In any case, the teachers are pretty laid-back on the surface, with an angry tension about the strike underneath.

Finishing up some comic reviews from last week, I promise I'll post them soon. I'm sure you are all just dying to hear what I thought of JLA/Avengers. Since I also got the first Scary Godmother hardcover, I'll also be reviewing that. Amazon.ca indicates that the Scary Godmother DVD isn't shipping until the 23rd now, but as hubby-Eric said, as long as we get it before Halloween.
