- TITLE: A Haircur for Tanais
-
- Well, it's happened. I managed to sell my old double bass to one of
- the ex members of a local(ish) band called the Wurzels (most famous
- for a 70's "Hit" Song called "I am a Zyder Drinker" (to the tune of
- "_____ paloma blanca". To celebrate I bought myself a pair of hair
- clippers and Merrytail was let free to have a go at my hair -- I'm a
- trusting fox like that! She did a marvellous job.
-
- Mmmmm, Skritchy bits to order now! Now I have a nice mop on top with
- a very short back and sides -- oh and the boring bit around the ears
- and above -- next to the temples? All shaved short into a straight
- line -- sort of like a cross between Terry Hall from "The Specials"
- and "Fun Boy Three" and Robert Smith from "The Cure".
-
- We're thinking of "carving" a rune into the back of my head as well
- (let's see how well that goes down with immigration when I get into
- the USA), and my new role as freelance journalist (I got sacked/we
- parted on amicable terms) after being off from work ill for four
- months is already delving deep into the San Fran and Chicago computer
- community for good candidates to interview and sell to UK magazines.
-
- I may even see about seeing a few US magazines about being a UK
- columist/analyst for US computer magazines...
-
- The beard has gone -- I'm back to my clean shaven self (it was far to
- prickly even for vulpine self) so when I wear my glasses (invariably
- to write these postings or for when I've been playing the fiddle so
- long that I'm cross-eyed), I look like a weird cross between some
- preppy-gone-wrong in patchwork trousers and a chaotic marriage
- between a dead-head and a mad scientist (especially when Ignatz and I
- were discussing using the internet as a replacement for "memory" last
- night)...
-
- Cool! Now, my friends you can scritch me anywhere you like -- from
- behind, in front, from the sides, you can even doff my mop on top...
