learn how to do makeup
This wasn't a goal

but I was talking with the makeup artist on a photoshoot about what she was doing to achieve a 1940s look, and she taught me some techniques, and had me do the model’s look for one session. Got smokey eyes down.

arrived in the mail, full of pages and pages of possibilities.

They did not send my expired passport back this time – maybe they held on to it for the Smithsonian.

44. "You will excuse me, I am sure. It is my business

I nearly fell into the error of supposing that you were typewriting. Of course, it is obvious that it is music. You observe the spatulate finger-ends, Watson, which is common to both professions? There is a spirituality about the face which the typewriter does not generate. The lady is a musician.”

Failure so far

I have had perfectly good reasons to not ask: (1) works at the same company, so want to avoid the awkwardness of why I ask certain people but not others. (2) woman on a BART train – captive audience problem; she had no good way to get away from me if she wanted to escape. (3) possible minor. And (4) looked like a younger Mila Kunis, so, umm, too pretty.

Getting pretty good a rationalization here.

Passport is in the mail

I cannot travel to other countries until my new passport arrives – I feel so constrained.

I had four pages left on my current book, and that feels pretty good.
