made a quiche last night. have made soufflé(s...?) before, but never quiche. turned out really pretty and quite tasty, although the time it spent in the oven was more like an hour than 30-40 minutes. i know things vary based on your oven, but my oven is still pretty on-the-mark, as it's still pretty new. but. it had bacon, sauteed onions, and cheese (one of those mixed bags of cheddar, asadero, and i forget what else). will add mushrooms next time, which will make it even better. did a cornmeal & garlic crust for it, and it turned out quite tasty. i <3 what you can do with pie crusts. XD

have also been painting! while it's historically been Spaz' Big Project to paint things around the house when the mood strikes him, i'm doing some as well this time. he's really good at it though; i haven't quite reached that level of mastery yet. hopefully i'll get there. the house is going to look really great, though; i'll take pictures once it's done. can't guarantee how great the quality of the pictures will be, but i'll try to make sure they're at least lit decently. XD

other goings on have been afoot as well. have been organising and putting things away like mad, as well as compilating like mad...amongst other things. several Big Bad projects are underway even as we speak; most of these are things which i cannot speak about here, under penalty of death by severe sporkage. so i shan't. XD

got a (much-needed) haircut yesterday; as a result, my hair now looks approximately 10,000.00935% better than it had been lately. have been asked if it was recoloured as well, which it wasn't---hasn't been for a few weeks or so (i've lost track already of when last i did it). it's kind of nice now, having dye that doesn't come out so easily---but i really do miss the colours from before. the purple was nicest of all. too bad there isn't permanent dye like that; i'd snap it up in an instant.

am using a leave-in conditioner now too, on advice of the lady who cut my hair yesterday. and truthfully, i had known i probably needed one; so far, it's helping nicely. this is the stuff i got, although it's in a slightly different bottle and has the words "hair healer" before "intensive leave-in conditioner." it's nice; most leave-ins i've ever used thoroughly gunked up my hair, but this doesn't. it just makes it soft and silky and nice. it smells like some sort of cologne, but you don't end up using enough of it for it to be obnoxious and/or overwhelming. also, the bottle isn't kidding when it says you only need to use it sparingly, which is also really nice.

(and i think i may end up sniffing my hair in a most unseemly massion fashion all day. ^^;;;)
