Face Up

I’m bored. And when I am bored I am driven to do stupid, pointless things. Here’s the latest; taking pictures of things that look like faces. (I’m not including the front of cars because they all look a bit like a face and I’d just end up with pages and pages of cars – if you want that head to Max Power or something).

Right, here goes:

Face 1 – Courier pool car dashboard

This is superb. It looks so much like a face I nearly swerved off the road when I saw it. It’s the CD player for the mouth and two air con things for the eyes. There’s even a hazard light button nose and two CD buttons for rosy cheeks. Brilliant.

Face 2 – Refuse bin at Tuffnell Park tube station

I saw this beauty while visiting Jacko in north London. I like the rubbish poking out at different angles, it gives Mr Bin a lazy eye.
What a chirpy face, it’s as if he’s saying “Good day sir, how be you today?”. What a nice bin.

Face 3 – Couier pool car again

Again, this one comes from one of our work pool cars (which are Ford Fiestas if anyone’s interested. This one looks like a dog’s face to me – big wet nose in the middle, a dopy big grin and two sad eyes. Anyone else? No?

Face 4 – my keyboard at work

This is a chirpy little face, like a Disney bird’s face. Or a really gay computer from a futuristic sci-fi movie.

Hair

My body is ironic.

I am starting to get a receding hairline, which I guess isn’t that abnormal for a man of 24. But what is frustrating is that the rest of my body is inundated with hair.

Why can’t some of that take a journey north where it is needed?

Things to do for free in your flat

If, like me, you find money is a bit tight – fear not. You don’t need cash to have a good time. You don’t even need to leave your bedroom. Here are Trilby’s patented ideas for having fun, on a showstring budget:

1) Stand up. Now stand on your chair. (NB: actually, I probably should have stated this first, but you need one of those office swivel chair things. If you haven’t, sorry, move on to option 2). Now,  position yourself in a corner of your room (probably should have told you that bit too before you mounted the chair). Now, put one hand on one wall, one of the other. Now spin! Extra points for a dismount at speed.

2) If you live in a shared house hours of fun can be obtained from winding up your flatmates. My personal favourites include, knocking stuff off their desk they are using (paper pads, pens, Ipod), and closing their laptop lids while they are busy on them. This takes a certain skill to get close enough to the laptop, while distracting them before the quick flick of the lid.

3) Windows are under-rated. And sitting on a windowsil is cool. I sometimes try and position myself with the window open so that my head is sticking out and my legs are in the house. It feels like you’re flying. Unless you’re a ground floor flat. Then it just feels liks your’re a bit tall.
