jools . 39 years old  /  denver . colorado

it is official - i am in a funk.

i went out late this afternoon to find a stranger, but was feeling seriously unmotivated. i don't know why. i made my way through the streets, surveying the masses, but no one was standing out to me. it was quite a bit later than the time i usually go out and there were people everywhere. i guess that may have been part of the problem - too many people.

as i made my way down the 16th street mall, i was distracted by the aveda training school. i've been wanting a haircut for some time now, so i figured i would scope out the scene in there. they took walk-ins and the price was right, so i decided to get a trim.

well... that turned into a tremendous ordeal. it took an eternity and the girl who cut my hair might as well have just given me the scissors. she had questions for everything. in her defense, i did go to a training school, so i should have been prepared for this, but i just wasn't. i am pretty sure it took more than an hour and a half and i absolutely hate my haircut. i pretty much always hate my haircuts, but this one takes the cake.

ok.. so i am sitting in the chair, having a difficult time even enjoying the head massages and aroma therapy because i am watching the clock tick away much faster than my hair was being cut and worrying about getting outside in enough time to shoot.

i finally just gave up and told her it looked fine and did my best to scramble out of there. i was in the middle of a busy street lined with tall buildings and the sun was low, so it looked pretty dark.

i was looking around both for a setting and a person and was kicking myself for waiting so long. i spotted a wall i could use and then i saw jools leaning against a sign or something and decided to go for it.

he agreed to it right away and he was super friendly, but i was out of it. all the way out of it. i don't feel like i worked any magic today.

jools is over here from england on a ski/snowboard holiday. he went to aspen and vail and was feeling great about his vacation so far. he did ask me to make a note about how his face is sunburned, though - so consider that noted.

anyway, i am not sure what is going on with me right now, but i am going to make sure that tomorrow is a good day for the project.
