Bugger!

No call came on Friday, so I failed to qualify for the 'So you think you're funny' comp. Well, my best hope now to further my career is the chance that we might get some attention from our appearances at the Newcastle/Gateshead festival. And just doing more gigs, but until this hideous dissertation is finished I can't concentrate on anything else.

The LLC is weekly now, and I still have no idea what to do - a week is no time at all, especially when you have other things on. I had thought of a little story about my hair. I sometimes tie it back out of my face when I'm working. It's big but not long enough to be in a pony tail, so it ends up being a top knot, sticking straight up, the bit with the band round sticks straight up, and the ends stick out like branches - my head looks like a desert island in a cartoon, complete with palm tree.

You know how if you wear a paper hat, after a while you can't tell if it's on anymore. Well it's the same when you use hairbands, on occasion I've forgotten and gone out like that. Once I didn't notice until I bent down to get something from a lower shelf in the supermarket. My pen, which I'd put sticking straight up from my top knot for safekeeping and general convenience, fell out.

Anyway - I had my hair trimmed and I'm not sure if it's now long enough to justify this story.

NEXT GIG
-TUESDAY AT THE DOG AND PARROT - IT'S EVERY WEEK NOW, REMEMBER?

PS - The blogger spellchecker is weird, maybe 'hairbands' should be two words or hyphenated, but I'm going to leave it rather than change it to 'harpooned' as the computer suggested.
