I got a haircut today
I think I did not have the typical experience, especially since I went to a busy salon and Kanae called to make the appointment for me. I went to a place that gave out coupons by Akabane station but was actually located way the hell back in Lala Garden, called Miq.
Anyway, they shampooed my hair and then cut it and then spent a long time blowing it dry. (I have heard that supposedly they give you a scalp massage or something like that but apparently not at this place, or not for gaijin that don't know what the hell is going on.) The cut, well, I said I just wanted some shape and some layering but I didn't really know what exactly. She cut about 1-2 inches off my hair in back and a little more in front, and did some layering as requested. She said my forehead is too small for bangs, so she gave me these semi-bangs things that are actually kind of annoying and I'm not sure what's gonna happen with them tomorrow. The thing is, they blow-dried my hair and made it all straight and Japanese-like and it looked pretty good, but I think tomorrow it's all gonna turn back into my normal hair.
Oh yeah, and with the coupon it all cost 3000 yen. Normally I get the impression a haircut costs around $40-50 most places anyway.
I did go and buy a cheap hairdryer from Ito Yokado afterwards but...
(taken at home with my IXY)
taken with cellphone camera at work by my door
and by my Stitches
at home with cellphone again to show what happens when I pull my hair back and I get those annoying side wisps that aren't quite the right shape. hrm.
Tomorrow (er, today?) I'm taking a day off. I'm going to meet up with Lisa, the Chiba CIR who is moving back to Canada in 3 weeks, and we're going to watch the Fighters vs. Eagles game at the Tokyo Dome. So I'll meet her for the first time for the last time. Weird. She's friends with like half of the Marines players (and came up with the nickname Karaage-kun for Karakawa). It should be interesting.
Oh yeah, and today the Dragons killed the Giants in an afternoon game and Masa got the win and Morino was freaking awesome. <3 <3 <3. I have just realized, though, that my joke about Masa getting 200 wins on his birthday, August 11, is totally dumb because the Dragons don't PLAY on August 11. Oops.
