I drug sven out the other day to get him ready for his up and coming sprint to a new scene... and was struck with one thought, and one thought only.
"How is this pack so small?" and at the same time... "cooper, get yourself ready for the weight on your back of all the crap you'll deem neccessarry to be hauled around."
I've been thinking of things i need to bring, and have a semi-un-final list running through my head... and the second i slapped eyes on my buddy i realized how much crap needs to be scratched off my list! I absolutely refuse to heft around a 40 lb. pack again... it's almost technically more than i should carry, and i just big fat don't want to.
As always, I am trying to work myself into leaving my higher maintenance items at home... but somehow i just refuse to go anywhere without a giant can of mousse and an equally large and in charge can of hair spray. And i especially won't be caught dead in the tropics with this ethnic hair and nothing to tame it. (go ahead and call me vain, if you don't i will. let's just blame it on my childhood, and the name 'afro-child' being flung my way.)
I hear myself giving shawna the relevant advice of bringing a small container of shampoo, and then buying more down there... when all along i am thinking, how am i going to fit my vat of vegan shampoo and conditioner in my bag? i can't go without it!
Needless to say, i have somewhat of a whopping battle ahead of myself in terms of what i will allow myself to be talked out of. (and believe me... talking this stubborn idiot out of anything is a feat. even for myself...haha)
I definitely learned quite a bit by trial and error about what i actually did need, and what i only thought i'd need, and how many clothes i actually NEVER need... but somehow i'm fighting myself on this. haha.
maybe because it's 3 months this time instead of just 6 weeks??
who knows...
what i do know is that i need to stop myself before i pack the third bottle of mousse *cause what if i run out and then my hair looks permanently like i stuck my finger in a light socket as a means of blowdrying?* *shudder*

I'm sorry I asked about these potential 'back-up cans' last night.... haha
lol....
look at the monster you've created!!!!!!!
mousse plus hairspray equals a lifesaver no matter the hair type (thanks to you, I now have that obsession). I say pack less undies, bring more hairspray! :)
man-o-man.
what automatically came to mind when i read this was the picture of monica in Jamaica (?) with hair to the ceiling due to the humidity. :)
basically... just consider me monica. haha
