The American Hair Academy and sushi!




Today seemed a little warmer than normal (ie.  your face didn't sting when you went outside).  THis afternoon we went out and ran a few errands at costco and sport authority (to get Neil's poker chips) and then to the AHA for Neil to get a haircut.  The place was worthy of its own movie.  Neil's haircut took over half an hour, but I didn't mind waiting because i could just stair at everyone the whole time.  It was so funny.  First, there was the Rosie, who when Lady Marmolad came on the radio she announced to the entire salon that the song made her want to dance dirty.  She then proceeded to dance dirty with the chair that they client was sitting in.  Perhaps she was on to something, because she got a $5 tip.  (Not bad for an $11 haircut.)  Then there was the transvestite student.  She was entertaining to watch.  And the woman who would cut about a quarter of an inch each time she cut the girls hair.  FInally the instructor (who had no neck, because of his hunchback) came over and re-did the entire cut.

Neil's hair cut turned out pretty good.  He got a fauhawk.  The guy also did a good job on his beard.  In the pictures it has a healthy handful of gel in it, but I think it will look okay too without the helmet-like appearance.

For dinner tonight we made sushi and has some salmon that Jared caught this summer.  It was really tasty.  We made sushi rolls with cucumber, egg, and cucumber and egg.  We were practicing for his superbowl when we're going to make sushi--in tradition with JCC.

That hair salon sounds like quite the place!

I was glad that you called tonight, and that the snow pants arrived and fit you!

Wow, they did a pretty good job on Neil. I don't remember his hair being that short ever since I have known him. The dinner looks good. Are you going to a party on Superbowl Sunday? Remember that the inside needs to be an odd number and not 3 (bad luck) best for 5. I see your puzzle in the background. I am working on a 1000 piecer. mom

Those pictures are almost as good as my Neil pictures from my Neil website freshmen year. Hmmm...maybe I need to rekindle that.
