As the above notes just reminded me, over this past week my hair has gotten me an abnormal amount of attention. First, I got free lunch at a TGI Friday's for letting the waitresses feel my hair. Second, while relaxing at a bar after a pretty long walk some guy said "That's some serious hair, let me get you a beer man". Third, an Applebee's waitress gave me free dessert and felt the need to tell me all sorts of stories about all her little nieces and nephews and how I remind her of them and asked if she'd seen me before... strange encounters like these happened all throughout the week. My question to you guys is.... is this just an upstate New York thing or do I really stand out that much? I spend most of my day hiding from random social encounters like these, so I was caught a little off guard...

you know, smith. if you're ever in vegas with a girl .. the two of you should dress up like you just got married and strangers in the street will give you portions of their winnings. just like that. hundred dollar bills tucked in her bosom and in your pockets.
maybe your hair inspires a similar call for generosity. i'll have to have a think on it.
- I'll have to put this under consideration. What girl would do this? I'd have a hard time pitching this to any random female.ismith
- female.ismith
- perhaps your hair changes form on your head to match the onlookers dream conversationalist._salisae_
- i think there is a good book in this._salisae_
- oh any old drunk will do._salisae_

The fucking seagulls here are nuts. Just looked out the window to see a massive one pick up my recycling bag of shredded paper and fly around with it for 10 minutes. Quite bizarre seeing a gull flying with a full plastic bag in it's beak!
- You should of seen the seagulls at school a few months ago.omgitsacamera

So I wanted the position as Historian (Basically the official thing for what I do at school), but my friend (more like a contact) got it, yet everyone knows that I am the guy for the job, and he and his partner (girl), will just delegate things to me. Now, I think I got the delegation thing down, I can just say no and let them suck it.
But what I'm concerned is that I saw the guy's Facebook and saw that he's in a relationship with his partner. Not wanting to be rude, but if things go under, what's gonna happen? Are these kinds of relationships (official and personal in parallel) good?
It's really none of my business, just another thing to think about...

ha ha, the the woman that lives in the flat across from me just picked up all my recycling in in the car park and sorted into her bin. Nicest thing she's ever done, she's usually a right cunt.

I am doing the world's most boring thing today. I am working on a children's horror fiction book cover. Previously I had drawn millions of spikey thorns coming out of the flower bed and clawing round the character like he was being attacked by spider's legs (sort of thing) they took ages to get right.
The client looked at them and said they were great but that they were too smooth and obviously just vector lines. He was quite right about that, so today I'm applying knuckles and kinks and thousands of tiny spines... one at a time, by hand.
Jeesh. Gawd Help me.

Today, when I woke up, my Macbook screen was dim. I nearly cried and also nearly cursed Apple for making me have problems after my warranty JUST ran out. I still have the credit card warranty, which can actually reimburse you for any issues you may have over the 2nd year.
Anyway, I restarted and it seems fine now.
- I backed up most of my stuff every now and then, so I will do that again tonight, just in case.Jaline
- I'm glad I never bought an over priced laptop. phew ;)canuck
- um it does have an energy saver feature where it dims the screen...Greedo
- Sometimes it takes awhile to warm up?********
- I realize that, Greedo, but it's supposed to automatically gets brighter when you move the mouse around or press a key.Jaline
