I’ve been letting my hair grow for about three months now. I normally get it cropped to a grade one every eight weeks or so, but I couldn’t be bothered over Christmas. It was really cold the first few weeks afterwards as well, so I decided to stick with it.
Getting your hair shaved to a grade one or two is kind of an anti-hair statement, showing you don’t want to deal with hair, have to comb it, style it, maintain it. You just want to wash it and rub a towel over it, and be done. I’m sort of getting used to having hair for a change now. The warmth for one.
Anyway, I raised the idea of keeping on growing it with mrsfb. The conversation went pretty much like this:
“I was thinking of letting it grow. What do you think?”
“You’ll look like a cunt”
I’m getting it shaved soon.

I had my first session of reflexology last night. A friend is doing a course on it, and needed some volunteers to practice on. So we both stepped forwards to help out. Now, I’m not particularly a believer in any forms of alternative therapies, but if it achieved anything, I am massively relaxed now. Slept rather well for one. And also achieved an ultra state of relaxation afterwards, almost a chilled euphoria. We have five more sessions, and I’m looking forwards to them now, interested to see if they have any effect beyond relaxation, whether they work on the particular areas that the session focused on (particularly my back). Still not sold yet, but from the relaxation point of view, I’d recommend it highly.

Grinding day learning about and playing with my search engine at work. Starting to come together now. Also been trying out some new games and things on my mobile phone. Keeps me busy. Will play a bit of Phantasy Star Universe in a bit, seem to be getting the hang of the retail outlet I’m running there at the moment, each time I come back I have a little more money, which is nice.

A little oddity this, flotsville. You don’t even sign up for it, you just enter where you want your city, and the name of it. Then as people visit it, it expands. A little like the Sims, obviously, except the only thing that promotes growth is vistors. Every visitor each day adds inhabitants and makes it grown. Have a look, have a go, and if you start your own city, let me know in the comments so I can come visit too.

Nice lazy day today, we did have every intent of a long walk down by the river, and indeed did set off on it, but rain and an evil cold breeze beat us. So we accepted defeat and headed for a nearby pub instead. Not quite as bracing and healthy as we intended, but still, got us out of the house.
Other than that we’ve chilled out, I’ve done some behind the scenes work on a couple of my blogs, and I’ll probably do a bit more. Also watched the third episode of the Sopranos, which is just fantastic. So glad I’ve bought the first series, I think we’re going to steadily work our way through the whole show this year. Fantastic thing to have in stock to watch when there isn’t anything on telly (such as tonight, which is utterly dreadful).

Cold. So cold waiting for the first bus of the year today. Good day at work once I was in and warm, got started on my project for the month, search enginey things. Nice to get back, and see that everything was where it should be, and nothing had gone wrong over the break. Always the worry when you go away for a bit. Bonus this evening is that my hearing has started to kick in again. Rather nice being able to hear people.
I saw a trailer tonight for Marc Wootton Exposed. Wootton is a former member of Cyderdelic, and possibly best known as Shirley Ghostman. He does seem to inspire a wide range of opinions, as it goes, I quite like him, and if this clip is anything to go by, it could be well worth watching.

I took an extra day’s holiday, just to make sure I had enough time to get over New Year’s Eve. As it happened, I didn’t get that drunk, but as I’m still a bit ill (have been full of snot and cold since about the 23rd), I did need the extra time just to relax that bit more. Played games, listened to podcasts, and generally accomplished nothing of consequence. Just what I hoped to achieve.

A happy new year to everyone who bothers to read this! I’m sat with a cuppa, watching what David Vine used to refer to on Ski Sunday as “The traditional hangover cure”, the second leg of the Four Hills ski-jumping tournament. Garmisch-Partenkirchen looks lovely and snow-bound, and I’m glad to be indoors.
We had a good fun New Year, went to a party at the Victoria Arms in Marston, invited by one of Mrsfb’s friends. Lots of good food and drink, not too busy, and a good group of people. Everything you need really.
So what does the new year bring for me? Well, we’ve got to move house fairly soon, so the search for that is the first priority. Hopefully after that, we’ll manage to get across to France to visit flotskysister, which will probably be our main holiday for the year. Other than that, I think all I’m after is to be fit and healthy (well slightly fitter, slightly healthier) and enjoy the year. Write a bit more, ideally a lot more. That should do for me.
