your opinions matter

there are two very important issues at hand: hair color and parties. please, don't be stingy with your recommendations; no one can improve if they don't get positive feedback.

issue the first
i'm not sure what to do about my hair color. should i:
a) return to the sultry red of yore
b) try a dark, smoking hot brunette look
c) continue down this path to blondom
d) keep it the same
e) pull a britney

issue the second
the original plans for a going away party have been scraped, as i'm not actually going anywhere, just yet. however, i do have this gigantic apartment that is begging for a party. we'll call it a "house-cooling" party, and thankee to the person who provided the name. it'll be just like a house-warming party except i'll give you the presents and i won't care how much you spill on the rugs. i'm just throwing them out anyway. but, because i'm incapable of throwing a party for less than 1,000 people (and i've done the math - they won't fit) i need your help. please tell me:
a) your favorite drink - otherwise i'm going to resort to martinis and beer, with margaritas for good measure
b) 5 songs you want to hear - and no, i will not play elliot smith
c) where i can find ping pong balls so i can skool all of you in beer pong
d) if june 16 or 23 is prefered

thanks for your help, and have a great day
