Well...to be honest...everything I've been up to lately is work-related. Not very exciting. I did manage to break free from my chains and take the bus to Pristina last week to have my hair cut by an honest-to-goodness-trained-in-Australia-scissor-whiz-of-a-guy Armend at Vogue Hair. I've been waiting to find trained scissor love (after the hair debacle I had in Istanbul in April and the unsatisfactory attempts I had here in Kosovo to fix it, my reticence to go anywhere and have anyone snip away at my locks is understandable). The guy did a good job with my hair. The real treat, though, was his cousin who blew it dry for me. It barely felt like he was touching me, he was so gentle. The whole shebang was pricey for Kosovo, but at 13 Euros (a little less than $17...man the Euro has fallen), it was a steal for leaving with good hair once again.
The other plus to my Pristina trip: Furra Lumi. Furra Lumi is a little Kosovar bakery near the University of Pristina that has to-die-for pumpkin burek (think croissanty thing with pumpkin inside). It looked like they had decent cinnamon rolls, too (unheard of in Kosovo so far). I might take a trip up there this weekend just for the cinnamon rolls. If they disappoint, I'll delve into a nice fat piece of pumpkin burek (for less than $1 for a huge portion, I don't dare complain about that, either).
Pristina is starting to look up. A city I once hated going to and avoided at all costs (usually opting to go to Skopje instead) suddenly has options. Now if only they'd bring in a Lush. I'd be set.

I was wonderin' what the K had been doing. Wow, pumpkin burek sounds good...
