My hair is so bright, I gotta wear shades

I'm still thinking on this whole happy new year, decade, century, etc. topic. And as it's likely only this new year that I'll be able to think of all of those happy time units in parallel, I feel justified. It's somewhat sad that the week and month are considered too small to celebrate in their newness. That would certainly make for a more fun time, if perhaps far too much champagne consumption and noisemaker usage than any nation should endure.

For the new year, I decided I should have new hair. I call it my "hair of the future". I'm not sure that it really is so futuristic, being as I bought the hair dye last year and all. And I'm fairly certain bubble gum pink hair has a history that may be as old as I am. Ah, but why should that stop me? I still think silver round things are futuristic, much as did the people of the 1960's. And besides, only a small part of my hair is pink.
