I went to get a haircut today.

1st attempt: Supercuts on 21st. My usual haunt - but I wanted to avoid the guy who claimed to play guitar for Molly Hatchet. A quick glance inside confirmed my fears that he was, in fact, on duty.

2nd attempt: Great Clips on White Bridge Rd. A fun, exciting new place! Not really. The one lady looked halfway normal but the other one was clearly unbalanced and so I feared a little bit for my head's aesthetic future. There was only one person waiting so I decided to take my chances. Well, first a lady comes in with her son who was annoying as crap, and apparently since she called ahead, he gets to go first. Ok. Then this other lady gets called, and I've been waiting a long time ... and on top of this, my calculations indicated that I was probably going to get the crazy one.

3rd attempt: Supercuts on Charlotte Pike. No customers at all. I went in, the lady spent about 5 minutes chopping and such, and I was done. Not the best haircut I've ever gotten, but so quick that I didn't care.

I watched a debate tonight for governor of Iowa. The best part was when the Democratic candidate attacked the Republican candidate for being fiscally irresponsible and pledged to take better care of taxpayers' money. Oh, how the tables have turned.
