Today I unintentionally received the shortest haircut of my life. I walked deep out of tourist country in St. Maarten in search of a barber shop. I walked and walked until I saw a small sign with an arrow indicating that haircuts were just around the corner. I walked down a skinny alley and low and behold I found a small sliding glass door that opened up to a women with a pair of clippers. And boy did she like to use those clippers.
I tried to explain how I wanted my hair to be cut, but I wasn't really sure we understood each other. This became clear moments later. She began to use the clippers on the side of my head which was fine, but then all of a sudden bzzzzzz over the top of my head they went; mountains of hair being removed in one swipe. It happened so fast that it was honestly too late to do anything, so I just settled back and watched my hair come off row by row. The good news is I won't need another haircut for awhile. The bad news is I'm pretty sure my scalp is going to burn if I'm not careful, but I do feel much cooler now! I also look pretty goofy because you can see the tan line on my forehead from where my hair used to be to where it is now. I have a nice half inch white outline of my hair, but I'm sure 15 minutes outside on Deck 12 will take care of that.
My latest side project (because I love to make extra work for myself) is to update the video that plays in the beginning of the Welcome Aboard Show. It's projected onto the stage scrim before the singers and dancers come out to do their routine and is essentially a pump the crowd up video that shows all the cool things you can do with Royal Caribbean. The current video looks (is) pretty old, so I've decided to make some new animations, update it with HD footage and put in some better music beds. Hopefully it will be ready to go for this Sunday's show!
