Day 96: Butchered, Again!

So last night before going to bed I had to have one last hot shower before the water was turned off. I made sure it was a really long shower, and tried to savour the sensation of the hot luscious water pouring over my firm and supple naked body, slowly lathering myself with rich creamy foam, moaning over the pleasure of the beating heat of the powerful water on my tired muscles.....oh wait...this is a blog, not a porno....

WHOOPS!!! SORRY!!! HAHA!!! ;-)

Anyways it was a great shower, and it could be the last one I have until Friday night. (Although I am in the process of developing plans to invade the showers of friends of mine who live in the city!) I woke up today and it was just weird to not go automatically into my morning routine of shower-dress-breakfast-computer. My hair is looking pretty flat and limp, but I figured that since the whole city is without water I won't be the only one looking 'less-than-best' at work today.

After work today I decided that I really REALLY needed a haircut. Since my last haircut disaster I've been putting the next one off as long as I could, since I really didn't know where to go. I didn't want to go back to the same place, but don't know where else to go. I mean, to find a hair stylist that can speak English *and* won't butcher my hair seems like Mission:Impossible here in Korea. Michael has since found his old hair stylist - the one who cuts amazing hair and he's been going to her for over a year - so maybe I should give her a shot? Well the thing is she's located in some shop really far away (even farther than COEX which is the site of The Great Bad Haircut of 2004 that took place 6 weeks ago) and he couldn't remember the address and she doesn't really speak English and I wouldn't even know where to look.... It was just too difficult - I really would need Michael to BRING me there and help me, and I know that he's too busy during the week and stuff.

So I decided to give the lady at COEX another chance. I mean everyone in life deserves a second chance, right? Maybe she was just having an 'off day' when I saw her last?

This turned out to be a big mistake!!!

Once again, the same lady has given me another shitty haircut!! God - that makes two horrific hair disasters in a row!!! This sort of calamity is unprecedented in the history of my hair! I mean I've had bad hair cuts here and there, but TWO BACK TO BACK??? This is just unheard of! The Hair Gods must truly be punishing me for my many years of hair vanity that I'll quickly confess to.

I'm not quite as distressed about it as I was last time. Maybe cause this time I was almost sorta expecting it again... Either way I'm not going to ever go back to her, and I'm not going to wait another 6 weeks for my next hair cut! I've got a plan of action, and it starts tomorrow! I'm gonna steal some scissors from school, and do a little snippety-snip-snip myself after work. Now I'm certainly no trained hair stylist, and definitely no fool, so I'm going to be *very cautious* about this and just do a little trim here and there. I mean the lady left HUGE CHUNKS left uncut so it shouldn't be that hard for me to spot where to cut. And secondly, I'm going to phone up Michael and BEG HIM to take me to this other stylist of his sometime soon - probably next weekend (he's got a guest coming in town from Taiwan this weekend so no go for me!) Maybe she can do some serious damage control and help out a brother with his hair. I'm even willing to go SHORTER if it means a better style. Anything is better than what I have now!

*sigh*
