Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
There was a lunar eclipse this morning.
Saturn, Venus, and Mercury lined up, it’s called a “three-object alignment“.
Full moon tonight (smallest full moon of 2012, because the moon is at its farthest away)
And throughout November, you can clearly see Jupiter.

Ever since I learned hearing doesn’t grow back.
I got proper headphones, so I stop jamming earbuds into my ears.
I rarely crank it to 10, I’ve never been into music, so that’s a lot of hours of wear I missed, and 90% of everyday life is silence.

The only time I listen to music is when I’m writing / blogging / editing. Happy and bassy stuff.
Something I listen to a lot, is ‘Feed the Animals’ by Girl Talk – 300+ samples seamlessly stitched together, for 54 minutes. I hit play, and try to finish [a task] by the end. Discovered him when I guarded his show in November ’08.
Here’s a favourite section. When it breaks at 1:44, come ON.
Here I am, showing you that.
Or maybe, this post is just an excuse to communicate the number 52, hmm. Or, show off my new shirt, that was $25 (which is silk, I’m good at deal finding).
Nooo this is just a reminder, of the face behind the blog.

– It’s a good idea to monitor incoming connections
I asked Niki for a lesson. Everytime I try, I look like, “ye ‘ole pioneer here, gonna churn some butter in these curls”.
A good (bad) example is here.
– don’t put hairspray on first, only after
– always curl away from the face
– make all curls go the same way, not alternating directions. This way, if one curl falls out, it can blend into the rest of the hair
– don’t clamp the ends of the hair between the iron, leave the ends out 1 inch or so; it will blend better
– twist the hair as it goes around the barrel
– whatever the diameter of your iron, your curl section should not be bigger than that. Otherwise, only the middle is curling
– put your finger on the thickest part of the curl. When your finger gets hot, release
– once released, pull on the curl by its end, so it’s not too tight
– run your fingers through, but only when it’s cool; otherwise you’re pulling the hair straight
– not the whole bang though, just a bend is enough. Leaving them straight is, aerobics instructor circa 1983.

It’s been 36 hours, this blog should have been updated, sorry guys, have a newspaper deadline.
Last night was top-notch, laughed my guts out. Changed the furniture behind me (used to be a white desk).
Got some great car pics coming up; a how to curl your hair lesson – so you don’t keep looking like you’re in olden times on your blog; thought-controlled computing; a stab-proof phone; and wait till you see who we get to hear speak on Tuesday.
Blog’ll be updated by tomorrow night, have a great evening! XO
