More tube antics

It has been quite a while since I posted, so I figured it was time for a new look. Blogger has completed its first big upgrade since the Google acquisition, so I decided to take advantage.

Also, I think i must have rested my arm enough so that I feel better now typing for fun. Back in October I thought I had seriously injured myself due to too much technology in my life, most specifically, typing on one of those tiny keyboards on my PDA. After switching to mousing on the left, changing my workout, three weeks of holiday, and probably most importantly - cutting way back on the use of my iPaq, I am ready again to face the world with new blogs.

Disappointingly, this post is going to be very similar to my last. Yesterday while riding the tube I watched a young girl making her eyelashes beautiful. She went through the entire process - first she curled her lashes with one of those torturous looking metal devices, not just once, but several times, holding it for 20 or 30 seconds at a time. Then she applied mascara very carefully to her lashes, darkening each one until they were all uniformly colored. Then she cleaned up any leftovers that got around her eye. The whole process took about three tube stops.

The funny bit is that then she got up and left the tube and because she had only finished one eye, she looked like Malcolm McDowell from Clockwork Orange. It seems silly to me to go through all that effort only to look freakier than when you started.

One can only hope she did the other eye on the next leg of her journey - without dislodging her eye with that curling contraption when the tube made a sudden lurch.
