Olde Timey Barber Shoppe
I think I'm going to start going to an actual "barber" to get my hair cut, instead of Supercuts, or some place equally as crappy.
I went to a local barber, and it really didn't cost any more than a crappy chain salon, and the friendly banter was much more pleasant (As it turns out, I have more to talk about with a 50 year old barber than I do with the average 24 year old "stylist" at whatever Chop Shops I've been going to). The real selling point for the local barber shop is the quality of the haircut. The guy who cut my hair today was older than my dad, looked like he'd been doing it since he was younger than me, and only cut men's hair. I think his experience shows. So, back to the barber shop for me. I think I may get a shave next time. They also had this really cool vacuum attachment that sucked all the hair off my head when he was done... which is pretty damn good idea... I don't know why more places don't have them. I hate getting a short haircut and itching all the way home because my neck shoulders and back are covered in pieces of hair so small it feels like fiberglass.
In what may be the happiest news all summer:
It finally cooled off today. This summer has been unforgiveably hot. Seriously. This global warming thing will be the end of me. I wilt when it's over 72 degrees. Today is a very comfortable 68, and I am loving it. 68 and cloudy... with a slight breeze running through my freshly mowed hair, it truly gets no better than this.
