You're running after something that you'll never kill

- My Chemical Romance released a remastered version of Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. I managed to resist the lure of the various editions of the vinyl, and only bought the CD and digital download. DAMN. The difference in the songs! Predictably I've listened to nothing but this since Saturday. 

- I booked a haircut! With this stylist! I'm excited and a little nervous, because I haven't had any sort of haircut since early 2020, and even then it was just trimming the split ends. This time I'm going to have my hair cut to bottom bra band length, and ask what they can do to enhance the waviness/curl my hair has developed. 

- The Wegovy is slowly working. I'm losing a pound a week without really changing anything other than eating smaller meals. The "Ooooh, snack! Let's have just a bit more of this because it's so tasty" noise in my head has stopped, which means I'm not constantly thinking about food. Another really odd side-effect (that lots of folks have discussed over on Reddit) is that the urge to impulse shop has stopped. I still windowshop a lot, but I don't buy anything. Weird, but I'm not complaining.

Huh on the Wegovy side effects. Maybe it is all part of controlling the seratonin burst of snacks/shopping. Huh.

There's been preliminary research on this and the GLP-1 agonists appear to have similar effects on a lot of compulsive behaviors. Early days still but there's some excitement around what this might mean in treatment options for these issues.

That's amazing!

I'd be interested in hearing about anything they recommend for waves/curls. I'm reluctant to add products (and effort) without some solid recs but I would like to help mine develop a bit more consistently.

Do you have a favourite bit of the remasters?

Helena and Thank You For the Venom. Especially Helena, because the difference between the original and the remastered is staggering.
