2x2



Ok well Valentine's day officially sucks. Nothing but a late shift from 5-9..
Who ever thought I could get two bad haircuts in two days either?
Not me.. In fact one in two days would have been more than enough, but, in an attempt to salvage what was left of my hair after the crazy japanese stylist had at it yesterday (see Fig. A), I went to a local salon and had them try to fix it. It must have been some Valentine's day voodoo or something, because I'm sure I hadn't asked her for a mohawk and rats tails..

Anyway, me being a very descriptive being, I made sure that today when I visited the new salon, that I had a picture of exactly what I wanted. I also made it very clear vocally. Now I believe that when you express your needs vocally, and present visual guides, that your request will be done according to your ideas.. Alas, I walked out of there looking like James Dean.. And James Dean after a night on the town and waking up in some hooker's bathroom..

Never mind though! Now it's short enough to do anything with. So I'll just wear a cap until it grows out a bit I suppose.
...
Problem is I have my first shift at work tonight. Sucks to be me eh? So if they hired me based on my shaggy mop (which I now miss..) then they're out of luck.
I'll tell you how it all goes, but that'll be tomorrow..
So cheers for now, and just stay out of any salons for a day or two until the Valentine's day air clears.. Just to be safe..

Well, was the photo you showed them, a picture of James Dean waking up in some hookers bathroom? Because if that was the case, you got no one to blame but yourself. If not, bad luck! Good to hear you're having fun and making friends with people who are licensed to kill. Look forward to more adventures, and remember, stay away from people who can shoot lasers from their eyes (if it's from their mouth, that's fine). And Happy Post-Valentine's Day (I'm sure there's a Hallmark card for it somewhere).

Cheers,
Luke.

I agree, ..it's only fair that we are able to visualize accurately.

I got into a massive 100+ person pillow fight in the middle of san francisco.

Luke: The card is in the mail! (Most likely.. I mean, how do I know I'm not the postman..) But happy post-post Valentine's day to you also! I hope the VM nights are still going. I haven't been able to watch a single episode since I left, we don't get UPN here!!

Mum: Hey mum! I'm sure you got Lissy to write that message because she's the only one in our family who types the same on the computer as she does on the phone. :D
Anyway, love you heaps, and everyone else there, and glad to see you found the blog!

Dave: Never!

Rob: 100+! Nice! I think I can see a cloud of discarded feathers hurtling towards the Vancouver skyline as we speak.. AAAH!

Cheers all!

Don't bag MSPaint! I made my rocking Valentines day card using it... and no, you don't get one.
Secondly, don't bag James Dean, he's a legend.
Lastly, how was work? The interest factor on this topic is sky high!!
SKY HIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luke said...

Ha! Take that Dave! Words for Luke = 74. Words for Dave = 1. You suck! (Not that it's a competition or anything.) :)

Oh and James, have no fear, my trusty laptop will keep the VM episodes safe and sound until your return. The last two episodes have been good too...

Anyway, as they say in Canada, 'Ciao'. (The little Italy parts of Canada.)

Luke.

Dave says said...

lol
luke: well! not what i expected,when you sms'd me to check james's blog for a msg. It is clear to all, that James had spent far longer conditioning his response to my msg by replying with a seemingly simple answer -'Dave: Never!'.

The words clearly echo a strong,deep awareness that he was infact anwering many potential attemps of getting him to send a picture of his new fashionable hairstyle. 76 attemps to be exact, which tallies to Dave=76 and luke trailing on a mere 74.

James and I are just on the same wavelength, what can I say? :P

this message.. just feels so right...
.yum.. nachos
