32C at 9:50am..........

 .........and upon walking this morning, I can attest:  it's gonna be too fucking hot outside today! Of course I planned a photoshoot today......forget about it - it's too damned hot!  I will play piano this morning.....and possibly, this afternoon, start upon lessons again.......and who knows - just perhaps I will take out my keytar and try my hand at that again as it is strictly treble/right hand music and that I can play - two hands simultaneously is my problem - will I ever overcome that problem?  With hours of practice, likely....without that input of time, no fucking way....such is life. I'm going to finish Taipei Story (hopefully) today.  I'll review the unread or still to be finished books on both Kindle and Kobo before re-starting to read Something Happened on my Kobo.  While I did not enjoy Closing Time as much as I had hoped, it was still 'worthwhile' enough that I will now do Something Happened.  I was told that this book was a better read ...

Short pants day!

 Theoretically, today will be a hot one, leading to the beginning of next week, with Monday projected to be the hottest day of the year.   In anticipation, I put on shorts this morning after shedding all clothing from yesterday, having had my half-year haircut and then doing Sweet Dreams at St John's last night....whew - a couple of long days and today, nothing really scheduled - I should re-load my Rollei and start more photoshoot days...... Vargas Mason screwed up - his email said 33 minutes....his driver said 1 hr, 15 minutes.   She was right...... Stillzy us still the cheapest although their delivery still does leave something to be desired......ah well, it is 9:35am and I am ready to go to Trader Joe's.....

Make a 9am reservation, first!

 Use a #3 and #4 guard and shave s half year off....that was my haircut.  Katherine had a shampoo first, no blow dry....and a straight cut......we'll go back to Supercuts, again, in 6 months.  Her hair cut and shampoo:  $44.  Mine:  $36....plus she left a tip...... I ordered Stillzy today for the next month......Even cheaper than before....they are getting rid of their old stuff....next month, 31 Oct - festivities.....and higher prices??? We had the mediocre tasting turkey meatloaf from Whole Food soaked in a can of pizza sauce...and added mozerella cheese....not bad at all!
