The Hair that I Didn't Love

[dotinthesky]

My boyfriend just said I talk like Yoda, that everything backwards I say. What a little shit!

I'm gonna write a quick update, take a shower, shave, put on clothes and go walking through Portobello's Market. There's a tiny second-hand bookshop near Notting Hill Tube that sells very old sci-fi novels. Check it out I want. I'm also going to drop off a film to develop. Kew garden photos it has from almost a year ago. Kevin wants to find some props and old keyboards for the little movie he is making. I think Kevin's fantasy would be to cast Johnny Depp in a futuristic movie about planets covered with garbage. Just guessing.

I haven't shaved for three days. I went to the bathroom and noticed a few brass-coloured hairs on my face, growing side by side with the usual brunette ones. The poor fellas don't realize that soon I'll be soaking my face with hot water, spreading shaving cream and slicing them away with my gilette (Mac 3). They'll float in the water for a bit, then get washed away. They'll travel through the pipes and reach the sewers. Will they keep going until they reach the sea, or get stuck on some old brick that holds London up? How long does it take for hair to disintegrate?

Oh I will. I just got some photos developed today and this feeling came rushing back, this feeling of wanting to take tons of photos of my life, of London, of trips and people.

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

I understand that feeling. I want to have photos of the little things that you forget about when you leave a place.

The only that sucks is that I have a regular camera, so I have to go through the whole "having the film developed" rather than just sticking it into the computer. But I'm still not going to let it deter me.

Yeah, but that's fun, too! I want a film camera sometime soon. When I can afford it.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they are quite affordable now because of everyone wanting a digital camera.

[desayuno-ingles.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but then you have to buy a good lens and pay for film and developing and student budgets don't really allow stuff like that.

Soon, though!
