Had the opportunity for free photos today, so got dressed up to go, because I really need a head shot. I've liked my hair every day for the past couple of weeks, but today I parted it weird (I don't know why) and it looked odd, and then I walked into a bathroom and looked in a mirror and I had developed welts around my left eye. I thought about not going through with it, but then decided I would go anyway, and turn my head to the side so as to not really show the welts. I don't have the money for head shots, good ones are expensive. It's not just vanity, I need one to get work. Anyway, I won't know for a couple of weeks. There were 600 people signed up, but I went early and the waits were short. I think there were 11-12 photographers, you got 3-4 shots at a spot. I know some of them were goofy, I knew what my face was doing and heard the shutter click, but I'm hoping for one good one. They are free because you had to sign a waiver that they could be used for promotional/advertising. I don't care as long as it's a decent picture.
On my way home, I stopped at this police/fireman event and had a long conversation about crime statistics and another one about police horses. Mostly, I wanted an excuse to pet the horse. There was free food, and a pretty good jazz band playing.
I'm gonna see the show again (third time) tonight because I'm working Front-of-House. I'll write what I like about it later, for fairness' sake.
(Our internet connection always says it's good, but never seems to work all that well. Drops all the time without any explanation.)
U-District, earlier today.
