it's simple coincidence this looks like a mane.

The quote of the day:
If the tie was worn, he did suborn!
This rhyming scheme, it is a meme!
Enough dumb rhyme! We're wasting time!

-- A weird discussion on the Well, re: The Tie.

Running news:
3.5 miles. And relatively quickly, too. Kind of weird.


I would like to make so much money that I could fly my hairdresser from Northern California to LA, because he's simply the best thing I've ever found. As this is not quite practical (yet), I asked a friend of mine--one who knows from hair--for a recommendation for her hairdresser.

Today, I went to said hairdresser.

What I discovered was, it would be cheaper for me to fly to Northern California--provided I got tickets two weeks in advance--and visit my hairdresser there--provided that I wouldn't have to rent a car--than to see this hairdresser. And all I got was a hair cut, folks.

Turns out that the Art Luna Salon is very exclusive and very chi-chi. In fact, you have to get specific directions to the place--there are no signs marking the place. You evidently only find out about the place through referrals. It's the haircutter to Hollywood stars and executives.

I like my haircut. But I'm not in love with it, and when I'm signing that kind of Visa bill I expect to walk out of the place looking like Nicole Kidman. Well, more than I already do, at any rate.

(And I got a parking ticket, making this the most expensive hair related day I've ever had. I could have rented the car, too.)

My Dad sent me a letter today--isn't that cute? like, with a stamp and everything--in which he included an article talking about how great the city of Baltimore is and a review of a B&B in Banff, Canada. He also mentioned quite out of the blue how he had been channel-surfing one night and found the very interesting Actor's Studio program on Bravo, which that night had special guest (you see this coming) Anthony Hopkins.

Good Lord. Get Unsolved Mysteries in here.

And yes: I did catch that particular episode.
