There was hummus on my sandwich today. It was delicious. There was also this cute girl straight up STARING at me. That was creepy. She was just curious about my plugs, but that didn't really decreepify it much.

always fun to decipher if it's a stare because they like you or think you're a freak. I tend to get the latter more often if I have visible jewelry in.

that's when you start putting fingers/other objects through your plugs if you have tunnels. Nothing freaks out a starer than putting a straw or something through my septum tunnel.

I think that was its part in the film festival. Johnny Lee Miller (aka Graeme Obree, aka Sick Boy in Trainspotting, aka Zero Cool in Hackers) was even there for the screening and he did a Q&A session after the movie. Pretty awesome surprise. Btw, he mentioned it has been picked up to start playing in 10 US cities sometime in the near future. No idea if Philly is one of them.

I thought that was weird too. He even said that Graeme wrote a book with lots of that stuff in it... not like it's top secret information.
