this that and photos of people taking photos

i guess
 i 
am
 will
 be spreading
 my beautification™
 over two days
 vs
 the long standing one

 the stylist
 who works saturdays
 is far better
 than
 the one who works sundays
 at the new hair salon
 new to me
 but not new to the hood

 even this saturday
 with the humidity soaring
 and 
me
 doing
 a trek down to lincoln center 
a stop at apple
 then back up to zabars
 before heading home 
the blow dry looked better 
than
 the 
to the salon then home
 i got last sunday
 which over all was a nicer day

did that track?

 after all that walking
 my shoe
 began to rub a toe
 as i got to the top of our block
by the time
 i got into the apartment 
took off the shoe
 i had
a huge
 open sore

a blister
i didnt feel
 til it burst

lovely

 good thing its warm enough for sandals 

after buying apples at the green market
which
 was 
located in lincoln square
 its moved 2 blocks south
 due to some construction
 i found myself
 across 
from
 lincoln center

outdoor art 
was on exhibit 
there was also a crafts fair i didnt check out
 'cause
i was on a mission
 i did
 take
 some fun photos
 of
 other people taking photos
 of 
aaron curry's 
melt to the earth 


that little girl
 was not happy
 that i took a photo
 of
her mom taking her photo 
the mom told her it was okay
 to say thank you
she didn't


  that guy
 was trying very hard
 to capture each piece
 without 
anyone in the frame
 i think he must have a lot of patience 

then i headed up to apple
i noticed this odd date
on the screen
 when 
i was closing the open apps the other day



i asked
 two apple helpers
 if they had ever seen it before

 no 
they hadnt
 one of them asked a female co-worker 
to take a look
 she was fascinated
 she checked
 all my settings
 we chatted
 about how never to use Gmail as the default for the calendar 
cause 
they add ads and spy
 then
 she decided
 an apple genius
 should look at it
 but
 she didnt want me to wait in/on line

 can i take this for a minute
 she asked

 i said
 sure

 she said
 my name's barb

i said
 mine's daryl

 be right back 
she said

 a few minutes later 
she's back
 smiling 

well 
she said
 two of the geniuses said its a known glitch
 that happened to the iOS 7 beta testers 

umm
 i said
 i wasn't a beta tester 

well 
she said
 thats weird
 but the fix is simple 
you just reset it back to original settings
 then
 restore from your latest icloud back up 

cool
 i said
thank you so much i really appreciate it


 did i
restore it?
 no 
i dont mind it being there
 and
 i am a wee bit leery
 of
 the restore from icloud
 i will likely do a back up to itunes 
 then
 do the restore

 i know
 silly
but
 i feel safer that way
