After four months, my feet finally look pretty once again.

Now I've got to work on the gray roots problem. I posted a plea for help on one of the baby boards. One kind person recommended I scout out an Aveda salon, since they use plant-derived dyes. I looked at the Aveda web site and found a nearby Aveda salon. I think I'll call today and make an appointment for sometime soon, preferably before Thanksgiving.

I forgot to mention that M and I went to see Matrix Revolutions last week. I really liked it. I liked it a lot better than Matrix 2 but, of course, not as well as the first Matrix. We were pleasantly surprised to see a little of the Sydney skyline at the very end of the movie, when the Oracle and the little girl were in the park. Most of the scene was computer generated but I did recognize one of the high-rise buildings! It's so easily recognizable because it looks like there's a sailboat on the very top. Many of Sydney's skyscrapers look like sailboats. And then I realized that the scene was filmed in Sydney's Royal Botanical Garden. There were some "real" parts of the scene (i.e. the skyline to the left), but the rest was digitally altered (i.e. the skyline to the right and the missing Sydney Harbour Bridge).

Even before seeing Matrix Revolutions, I've been thinking a lot about our trip Down Under. It was exactly one year ago yesterday that we returned from our 3-week long honeymoon. On Halloween, I was really missing Auckland. In early November, I started missing Sydney. Maybe this is an indication that I need a vacation. (?)

Well, I'd better get going so I can do a Grading & Drainage problem before my lunch break is over.

The fun never ends.... :(
