"No photos"

This man got pretty upset with me taking his photo. He stopped playing and jumped off his table to tell me I could only take photos with a donation. I gave him a buck. Then he kept talking. He said that in Arizona, it's legal to shoot someone if they point something at you that you think could be a gun. Uh, come on, man. It's just a camera. He also indicated that he had a gun in his waistband behind his back. Sheesh. I shouldn't have given him a dollar.

I was downtown putting the finishing touches on getting an apartment. Exciting. I move in mid-January. It's a studio and is about 150 square feet smaller than my current one bedroom, but I'll be saving about $140 a month. It's also walking distance to work, so I'll save on gas. It's right next to the light rail, which means an easier trip to the airport and a few other places. I think I'll like it. Expect a lot of photos from the vicinity after I move in.

Also, that job service didn't interview me today. I don't know what happened. I downloaded the Skype app and signed in around when we set up the interview. I had two missed calls from her that were a minute before I logged in, then nothing. I tried calling and emailing and haven't heard anything from them. Why is this happening? I am so frustrated. Good thing I've got this apartment coming together. At least there's some good news somewhere.

More photos from First Friday (a local arts crawl) in extras.
