Japanese Horror Movie

The other night I was out for drinks in a quiet hotel bar with a friend, and this woman shuffled in.

She sipped her wine, while staring straight ahead, clutching her backpack which held...what? Drugs? A human head?

All I know is that I immediately thought of "The Ring" and said to myself "Must not make eye contact, must not make eye contact..."

Because you know if I did, I would be driving home one night, and suddenly see her staring at me from my rear view mirror.

Mrs Seymour

When I was in junior high, I had a typing teacher named Mrs. Seymour. I always thought she looked at our class with utter disdain and contempt.

Years later, I was discussing this with an old friend, who informed me that Mrs. Seymour actually had had no eyebrows. So she drew them in, apparently a little too high on her forehead.

Oops.

Cafe sketching in Paris

The plan was to do a little sketch and then I just kept adding more detail.  And then I realized, I really should  plan for the time, because it always takes longer to do a simple sketch than I think it will.  

I take back an earlier statement I made about wearing leather

Apparently, you can wear leather when you're a senior,  if you have that grizzled, Parisian thing going for you.

There was a sketch here that I WISHED I had gotten, but I couldn't because the guy was  scoping out the cafe. You really can't make eye contact by accident with those guys.

French Teenagers

LOOK AT THE BOYS' HAIR!  Seriously anime style!   What was great was how every few minutes, one of the boys would feel compelled to fluff his 'do, to maintain maximum volume.

It was "
"chat chat chat"
[pause]
[fluff, fluff]
"chat"
[long drag on cigarette]
