"Ooh, pretty...," she said as she touched my hair.
And I don't think she was drunk yet; everyone was going into CityWalk. But my hair is just so irresistable to touch.
It's interesting working downtown. Friday afternoon my classmates and I went to happy hour at a bar called Vintage and wound up getting VIP passes to Hair-Star.com's launch party at the Red Coconut Club at Universal CityWalk. Unfortunately it was on Sunday night starting at 10pm, so many of our classmates didn't come out, and my friends all had work in the morning. Being "slacker Producers who don't actually do work" (+ our Lead Programmer), we went out to party anyway.
Interestingly, on the moving sidewalk coming into CityWalk, there were these grey-haired women in front of us. Except I use the term "grey-haired" figuratively--they had pink and violet hair. We were almost certain they were going to the same party that we were, but we never saw them there. And ultimately the Carl-hair-appreciating girl and her group that we walked past didn't come in either.
There was a wide range of people at the party and surprisingly little avant garde hair styles. We met the president of the company (a really young guy) and realized schmoozing would be so much greater if we already had business cards for our upcoming business venture. Many photos were taken, and I hope they get put up on a site somewhere I can find because my Facebook photo is in need of updating.
I got an influx of money from the stimulus check and student loans. It's incredibly tempting to spend some of that money on a new non-brick-sized camera, but I've earmarked all the leftover loan money to zero out my credit cards. (For what it's worth, I have my eye on a Canon Elph SD870IS. It's about 50%-100% thicker than many other compact cameras these days, but it's 1. a Canon and 2. has a wide-angle lense.)
I think I may have said it before, but this grad school program has been a totally awesome experience. Not only do I not get stressed about the workload and commitment requirements because it's something I'm truly passionate about, but I've met a great group of friends who I enjoy being around in school and out. And our fun times happen both in school and out; we're partners in crime, through and through.
