Today I got my hair cut, and since I thought it looked good, I took a picture of it:
I took this picture right before I got on my bike for the ride home. I also decided to take the opportunity to get pictures of my bike before I rode home. I got some interesting looks from people as I walked across the parking lot, put my bag down next to my bike, pulled out a camera, and proceeded to take pictures of myself and my bike, which was parked right in front of the Carl’s Jr.. Note that at the time of the pictures, the bike was still locked up, so nobody necessarily knew that it was mine. I glanced over in the middle of taking these shots to see a look of curiosity from one of the workers on break who poked her head around the corner. I wonder if she thought my K-Mart Huffy was some sort of rare collector’s item that strangers would stop next to it and start taking pictures of it. After I went, I bet all she thought was, “Weirdo.”
See my reflection in those shiny chrome fenders? STYLING!
Notice the coaster brake on the back wheel – I thought I was done with those when I got my first 10 speed!
Classic Huffy style ;-)

(which is good)
Maybe you’ll start a trend and everyone in LA will be riding around on Huffy bikes (huffies?) taking pictures of their reflections.

[Subject: proprietor] Nate,
hair cut looks great.
loved the photos of the bike. gives huffy a good name to be photographed in such a way.
i’m enjoying the blog and hope to learn something of the LA acting scene from your work.
when i was in california, i noticed that people spoke the same language but the words had different meanings, or perhaps the meanings didn’t connect the same way they did back east, or simply california was a foreign country, the land of casual and surface though not to be trifled with. a strange space between the words. could be the light out there or maybe it was just me.
hope you decipher the language and enjoy the experience.

[Subject: Oh Hollywood….] Hollywood is such a strange place. I think you got lucky when it comes to street performers though. The times I was there I had a man in a pimp suit selling fliers about the end of the world, some idiots trying to rap, (and this takes the cake on disturbing) a man wearing nothing but lots of bling and a banana hammock…no joke, sadly. So I really hope you manage to have a good time and not run into any of those people.
