RED HOT HAIR

Mum hasn't noticed that my hair is dyed red from last night. Bevan took Theo and I to the Warehouse to get the hair dye, and I also asked Richard to get a shampoo suitable for dyed hair.
Before dying his hair, Richard had to sort out the internet connection problem in Taranaki with his dad. His sisters are living in rural Taranaki without broadband internet. Sounds like the connection fee is high, with normal monthly fee afterward. Mum said that Mrs. Phong has a dial-up connection because she doesn't really use internet that often. I guess Stacey and Natalie have just had enough of the excruciating snail-speed dial-up and broadband will be much better. Just wondering why they have to ask for such a high connection fee. Yes, I know it's rural area, but it's no excuse.
Let the adventure begin: I mixed the two chemicals together by shaking, and applied the mixture to Richard's hair. It was difficult not to get the mixture on his forehead and neck so we resorted to wiping them off with a cloth. I used an old toothbrush to apply the mixture to Richard's hair evenly, then he used the plastic gloves to rub the colour in. He also dyed my hair red using the remaining mixture.
You can see a red tinge under the light on my head, but Richard's hair is really red. I think it will look redder if we peroxide it.
Ken's gel had finally worked today, and he was using the method on the paper that I found. That's fantastic! He had ran the gel for so many times that he deserves to have good results. My experiments didn't work well so I am repeating them. I will have to come in on Sunday to set up some Minipreps for Monday.
I can't believe that nobody has discovered that I dyed my hair. It's frustrating. Hopefully, Fuzzy will notice.

V8 weekend

Hester invited us to pick chestnut on a farm in Gordonton. There were so many of them on the ground. Fuzzy and Theo had lots of fun in the forest. We went to Pak'n Save to get ice cream, and watched the V8 cars outside the circuit for a while. We stood on the edge of the wall and looked in, the cars came really fast and they were loud. Our friend Hamish complained that he couldn't see much on the grandstand because the stand wasn't steep enough. Other people complained and it got on the six o'clock news. The tickets were quite expensive so the spectators should be able to enjoy their view.
I watched several movies on DVD this weekend. Dad found Jurassic Park 3 among Mr. Phong's discarded things and he said he's never watched this movie before. Fuzzy and I watched Nacho Libre together. It was a funny movie about a friar who dreamt to become a wrestler since he was child. He had lost all the wrestling matches and only won the last one. He spent the prize money to buy a bus for the orphans he's taking care of. Theo and I watched the first season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It's very interesting, and makes you think about the future and humanity. We also watched Good Luck Chuck, a guy who was hexed when he was young to be the guy who girls go out and will find the love of their life next. He met Cam, a nice woman who works in the sea world and loves penguins. His over the top wooing tactics scared Cam off, and eventually realises he has to let her go and have some space. It's not a very good movie, and I found out that Nanny McPhee was on and I didn't watch it.
Just wondering how Theo's Chinese learning is going. I will help him along the way.
