Overheard on Canal Street

While waiting for the train the other day on Canal Street, I overheard to men having the following discussion about Satellite TV and HD channels:

Over-dressed and out-of-place guy #1: Dish Network has so many more HD channels than TimeWarner.

Over-dressed and out-of-place guy #2: (who is holding a golf club with a little cotton golf club head protector): Yeah, but Dish Network is just so unreliable, which is why I went with TimeWarner.

Me: I don't know why you guys are talking about TV when you have that sweet golf-club protector! You should be talking about that! Have you seen it, it's shaped like a horse's head and that's adorable! Hey, do you guys want to hang out, get a beer or something?! Do you guys watch "Gilmore Girls?" I love that show.

I didn't really say that.

Haircut

In the interest of full disclosure, Dear Reader, I must tell you that I spent $67 on a haircut last weekend.

Now wait for the initial shock to wear off...

It was most certainly and undoubtably the finest haircut I've ever received. She took her time to really understand how my hair works, and took in to consideration my absurd hairline and hair texture.

One of the great things about paying that much for a haircut is that it really makes you care about your hair, which can be good or bad. I think it's good because I'm a guy who cares about his appearance, but not to the point where I'll really go too far out of my way. Now I feel sort of obligated, and I guess that's actually kind of nice.... does that make sense?

Anyway, the place was called Shampoo, and if you're willing to spend the money I would recommend it to anyone.

Editorial Note: Every Friday at Shampoo is "Metal Friday," so if you love Metallica Friday's your day. Or if you love the novelty of getting your haircut while listening to angry metal in the background you should go on Friday.
