Sip Sip Sip, Snip Snip Snip

In an average healthy adult, the volume of blood is about one-eleventh of the body weight. Most sources state the volume of blood in an average human adult such as myself, who is between 140 to 150 pounds, as between 4.5 and 4.7 liters.

Math is not my strong point, but if three people spend two hours imbibing 3.5 litres of wine in a fairly even split, that means that I may well have replaced a fifth of my blood with red wine last night. This resulted in throbbing, spinning badness this morning.

On a day when you are very hungover, I recommend waking up in the home of thoughtful friends who will brew tea for you, make you toast and eggs, then let you watch Indiana Jones while you try to remain very, very still and not think about how many cheesies you ate the night before.

Then, I recommend going to a salon for about two hours to get your hair cut and coloured by masters of the art of coiffure.

All you are required to do is sit, let someone apply stinky goo and tin foil bits to your head, then allow them to shampoo it out, massage your scalp and dance about you with scissors and razor clipping and whirring and then voila! Despite your innards continuing to be in rotten shape, and your liver crying for its mommy in a corner, your hair will look like this:

  1. If the day-after results of drinking wine always turned out so spectacularly, vineyards would be the richest places in the world! (Translation: hot!)

  2. Cute! And you don’t look at all hung over. What the hell undereye concealer do you use anyway? 😉

    Also: I too have had my hair done the morning after and it is a great way to spend a glurgish day.

  3. How much do I love your new Monty icon???

    Almost as much as I love my Barney icon, that’s how much.

  4. Sexy, baby. I especially love how well coordinated your glasses and hair colour are. Not just anyone can pull off such a thing.
    *Loving* your Monty icon, too. I am surprised you let him get that close to your face.
