Bad!
Bad bad bad bad bad bad! Slashdot observes the Times reporting: it's being proposed that the completely insane and Orwellian USA PATRIOT act be made permanent. Anyone voting for this loses the right---does anyone really have one?---to call anyone else un-American. This is really, really bad! Argh!!

Back to this space's previous apolitical stint.

Hair
In one of those moments of apathy and submissiveness that we all experience from time to time, I was sitting in the chair last night getting my hair cut when Jen (the hair cutter) said, "So why don't we frost your tips or something?" to which I replied, strangely, "Oh, what the hell." Strange pieces of hair coloring equipment and hair separating apparatus were produced, and unfamiliar hair pulling instruments were applied to my head. Paste was slathered on, then a plastic bag, and then I was told to sit underneath the old lady hair driers and read Boston magazine.

Upon arriving home (half an hour late; boy haircuts are supposed to be fast) K kind of gasped while saying, "Oh my god!" at the same time, which always scares me because she simultaneously inhales (to gasp) and exhales (to exclaim) in a way that human lungs aren't really meant to do. Neither of us is sure what to think of my new Vanilla Ice style head.

I mention this to all dozen of you so that you aren't unpleasantly surprised when next we meet. Word to your mother.
