Hear: "Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen
See: tinyurl.com/8n5kox (Cory Doctorow: Writing in the Age of Distraction)
Idea: We need a hand signal: "Dah! Dah! DAH!"
Fact: I dream about hotels

    I have a beautiful relationship with my hairdresser. He gives out free beer.

    So the story unfolds as so:
    1) I walk in.
    2) He calmly hands me a beer.
    3) I drink the beer while he quietly cuts my hair.
    4) I solemnly pay him.
    5) I leave.

    Our relationship is like a precious, precious jewel.

    Woww...... I only dream of an arrangement like that!!
    I still haven't found a non-talking hairdresser, but I remain forever hopeful.
    I like getting my haircut. Talking distracts from the enjoyment.

    Quick Fact: My studio is in LB so if you are looking to buy an expensive painting or have some high end furniture made don't go anywhere else. Those other places in LB are a rip off!

    When the room service guy walked in and you guys talked, I thought, "Wow this Merlin Mann is great, he is keeping the conversation between humans alive". Because not enough people talk.

    And then you crushed my hopes and dreams with the "Dah! Dah! DAH!"

    Perhaps if they have been doing their job for 7+ years they are allowed to overrule your "Dah! Dah! DAH!" Just long enough to tell you how long they have had that job, then you can go back to your silence.

    You're absolutely right about "Born To Run". Its a very, very special piece of music. So special, in fact, that I don't allow myself to listen to it but once a month. I don't want it to lose its shine.

    Did I just post that on the internet? Crap.

    The hand signals caused me to produce a sound that is foreign to my home and alarming to my animals.

    We're living the same life. It just seems funnier when you do it. You probably get that a lot.
