dear readers
I need your opinion. Ever since I first started growing hair in 1987, there's been a serious problem. The problem is that I look like this.
Short hair always seems like a good idea, because there's so much less of it. I can move my head freely, it takes less than a day to try, I can fit through doorways without turning sideways - endless benefits. But I always end up complaining that I want it to grow back.
And when it finally does, well it looks like the above photo.
It's time something was done again, and here are the options.
1) I could embrace the yak hair. These girls are rocking it. They don't have hair quite as thick as mine, but I can dream.
2) I could get a shorter haircut. Just short enough!
3) Or I could get a Really Awesome Haircut.
...but what if it goes terribly wrong and this happens?
What's a girl to do? Start wearing puff vests to balance things out? Shave it? Move to a yak farm? This haircut could be cooler than the last one! I won't complain as much, I promise! Please help me find the answer to life's persistent questions.

tell me your favorite box pun in the comments
If you thought no "apartment tour" could be more depressing than my last one, I hope you're sitting down. Because you're going to be proven wrong, and because I don't have any furniture for you to sit down on when that happens. Scoot you chair this way for a tour of Brooke's LA room.
TA-DAA the bed. I planned on buying a mattress this week but LA has been an exercise in lowered expectations. The higher the cost of a mattress, the more camping mattresses become surprisingly comfortable. Cardboard boxes work surprisingly well as nightstands.
And what do you know, they also work surprisingly well as desks.
If you love janky things as much as I do, you're probably thinking "What on earth is that nasty thing hanging from the ceiling in these pictures?" Actually everyone's probably thinking that.
The other day I got CRAF-TY (singing voice) and decided to try and make a chandelier out of a plastic bowl and a hawaiian lei, both from the dollar store. I failed, and instead came up with something that looks like a prop from a horror movie about a children's birthday party. Luckily that fits in seamlessly with the theme of the entire room.
More vanity photos. Fish lamp:
The only semi-age-appropriate wall:
And my mug that says "Emily's Bat Mitzvah" on the back:
That's my room in LA. Thanks for stopping by. And please leave you chair here on your way out.

the most important thing
As most of you know, I've always said the last thing I want this blog to become is a list of my favorite breakfast foods.
Well, apparently that's what it's come to. I realized today breakfast is not only the best meal of the day, but the best meal of the century. At the risk of not building this up enough, let's just dive right in:
Delicious breakfast foods (even ones I can't eat):
pancakes
bacon
eggs (all kinds but scrambled)
those little potatoes
omelets (eggs that deserve their own category)
french toast
yogurt
granola
fruit (except bananas)
cinnamon rolls
muffins
sausages
bisquits
English muffins
bagels
hash browns
cereal
Why don't people go out for breakfast more often? You go out for dinner you're just going to get pasta or a salad or some other garbage. That's the saddest thing I ever heard. After several revisions of this list I'm going to change the title of this blog to "Breakfast Foods" and most of my posts will be "It's the most important meal of the day!"
Stay tuned.
