Don't Leave Me Hanging On The Telephone:
Okay, so I kinda look like a dork now, because I had the old switcheroo pulled on me. Today I phoned the place, where I usually get my hair cut and as it turns out they changed management this month and fired the women, who usually cuts my hair. My hair was a mess, so I just made an appointment anyway, because I figured it wouldn't really matter, who cut it (it's not like I'm David Beckham or someone else with complicated hair, you know). Well, I was wrong. It does matter! In retrospect I guess I should have figured out something was up, when I was able to get an appointment right away and perhaps also when I was greeted by a fifty-year-old bird in an otherwise empty salon. Turns out she was the one, who was going to cut my hair, which led to a session of ramblings about tabloids and the goddamn weather. So now my hair is in the weird no-man's-land between trendy-spiky-cool and crap-Nazi-scary, which means it'll take at least a week before it's grown back to what passes for normal. The only good thing was that it cost almost 30% less than normal, but seeing as it's also almost 30% more crap than usual I guess it's true that you usually get what you pay for. And speaking of paying, my cell phone service was shut off today, because I haven't paid my phone bill in a year. In my defense I'd like to say that I haven't received a bill in a year nor have I reiceved any complaints about late payments. So I phoned the company to get things straightened out and first spoke to a guy, who told me one thing and then after having been on hold for ages a girl, who told me something completely different. She was actually a bit pissy, because I hadn't called them and told them that their bills didn't arrive and she wasn't at all amused, when I told her that I really couldn't see how that was my problem. I think she thought I was some kind of loser, who never paid his bills and just tried to hustle his way to free phone service or something. Because when I said that I fully intended to pay right away, so we could get this problem sorted she lost the attitude. But that also meant I had to shell out a lot more money today than I had intended, so the planned night on the town has now been cancelled. But Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday, so we'll definitely have to do something that night. Sunday is also my brother's birthday, so we have to visit my parents for dinner first. But afterwards I think we might go downtown to the oddly named Gaz Station, where the local football team, Aarhus Tigers, has arranged for the game to be shown on two huge screens. I'll probably be wearing my Shannon Sharpe jersey down there and thinking back to when the Ravens beat the shit out of the Giants two years ago. But if you know me and you've got a better Super Bowl party planned for Sunday feel free to leave me a message, because I'm open to suggestions.
