Tuesday, November 14, 2006On completely unrelated topics, I got my haircut today and talked about Greece the entire time with my hairdresser. It turns out that she lived there for four years (in the north somewhere) and I enjoyed listening to her travel tales. It made me think about Chloe and what fun I will have when I go to visit her one day. I chose this hairdresser for her ability to entertain me while getting my hair cut. While she is good with scissors and shampoo, her story-telling abilities are way more important. As I walked out of the salon, a man begging walked right into me and asked for change. I have been in the mood to give money to street people lately (usually I try to buy them some food). I instructed him to get a warm lunch for himself today. Nope; I'm gonna buy cigarettes he replied. At least he was honest. I guess...
Before I went in to work, I stopped by my favourite magazine shop and bought a variety of crafty/artsy/fashion/educational magazines. The clerk looked at my eclectic selection and then at me. Who needs to explain? So I am multi-faceted...

I look forward to reading about your reading.
My hairdresser takes about 45 minutes - about 5 seconds/hair. He also gets easily distracted which is not a cheery thought.
