Thursday Weather: Turned out sunny in the end, but so cold.

1. To my delight, my brain coped very well with the 3D film last night. It took about 15 minutes for things to sort themselves out, but after that, I sort of forgot what was going on. The only thing I did notice was that you're more aware of the blurry background than in 2D, which I found distracting. I was glad to have seen the film before, and won't rush to a 3D viewing of anything, I don't think, but if it's the best time for me, I won't be put off by it. Plus the glasses are reusable, and it would be a shame not to reuse them!

2. For some reason, on the days I wash my hair, I am very itchy and snuffly. On normal days, I wear my hair at least half up, but on wash days, I leave it down, and it definitely irritates my nose and eyes. I don't even use very perfumed shampoo! Trust me to be allergic to myself.

3. I am hoping to go home to a fixed washing machine this evening. J waited in for the engineer, and left a load running, but he had to go to work. Here's hoping!

I dislike the blurry background part of 3D movies. Was the movie enhanced by the 3D at all? Some that come out in 3D really don't need it at all.

Hopefully the washing machine works!

I got a stamp for habit tracker and a gorgeous ink pad I need to use but life has been chaotic as usual and I need to get back to bujoing again.

For Black Panther, I'd say it was. There are some long CGI-only scenes that felt much more alive in 3D than they had in 2D. I mean, they'd been impressive in 2D, but it was pretty clear watching in 3D, that this was what they'd been designed for. I wouldn't say the whole film had been designed for 3D (which I think is good!) but there seemed to be some directorial choices that meant 3D viewers got a little extra. Does that make sense?

Me too on the journalling! I worked out that my planner felt too special for me to use - it just wasn't workaday, and I'm bad at using things that aren't a bit battered. So I'm buying myself some stickers for it, to rough it up a little and make it feel more usable. I hope!

That's good to hear on all fronts. I really enjoyed the movie but I don't think I need to go see it again in theaters.

I need to get more comfortable opening it in front of the bf and not ignoring it in favor of vegging to Netflix and cross stitching. >.> I'm always so much more productive with to do lists and not having those has not been a good thing.

Fingers crossed for the washing machine!

It worked! No leaks and it got all the way through a cycle :D Woot!

My mom has issues with a lot of shampoos because apparently she's just sensitive to them? If it's not a scalp issue though, I'm not sure what to recommend. I wash my hair every day because I feel gross if I don't. But I get annoyed by hair in my face so I always put it up with a hairpin. (I have a side-ish part, so I leave that down and then use the hairpin on the other side.) It's all entirely psychological though

Fingers crossed for washing machine! (Or maybe it is fixed already?!)

I'm incredibly sensitive to shampoo - I wash my hair separately, because if I do it in the shower, it makes me itch. But I think there's something about the scent that sets off my allergies :/ My hair is very thin and fine, so I'm just lucky it doesn't need washing every day, or I'd be constantly sneezing!

It's fixed! hoorah!

Can you find something unscented? I have a friend who buys mostly unscented products (and like, pawned off a bottle of Cattier micellar lotion on me because it smelled too strong; I love it) so I would assume shampoo like that exists? My mom uses Sanex gel/shampoo convo and it works for her but IDK if it's unscented enough. It actually set off some weird sensory craving in me a while back.

I hate 3d. It gives me such a headache. And its hard to watch with my glasses and the 3D glasses.

I hope the machine was fixed!

I was worried about the glasses, but the ones at my cinema were pretty well designed, and fit over my glasses just fine. I'm not sure I'll rush to it again, but it's nice to to know it's an option if the times suit me better!

Thanks! It was! Hoorah for clean clothes :D

I don't shower every day, but I can't go more than two days without shampooing my hair or my scalp starts to itch. I use a tea tree oil shampoo that I like a lot. Maybe it's not the scent, but something else in the shampoo?

From comments I see your washer is fixed, so yay for that!
