People keep asking me…
Why am I wearing my hair up, all the time? Passengers buy
Uh, because my last hair cut sucked? That’s why. It’s so damned short, and because of that, outrageously curly. And, I really hate frizzy, curly hair on me. Like, really.
Oh, and I forgot to mention about my negative experience during the cut… When I visited the salon the last time, the hair stylist (or whatever the PC term for her would be) didn’t say a word to me, other than a quick “yes” or “no” when I tried to start a conversation. It was so bizarre, and so frustrating, that I won’t go back to Aveda after my latest experience a few weeks ago. I’m officially looking for a new stylist.
Onto a different topic!
Here’s what you can look forward to, coming up for entries on this blog:
– Finally, my Brother Laser Color Printer review. I’m dreadfully behind with this one, because I only actually started using it a few weeks ago because of the move. That extensive review is coming shortly!!
– A book review on a great book I just finished reading, and will probably pick up and read again soon to glean more goodness: Eckhart Tolle’s “A New Earth”.
– I received a protective shield for my iPhone from BodyGuards last week, and I’ll be installing it tonight with Monica’s video assistance. Look forward to a video blog review on that product!
– Another contest! (details to come)
And, a question for you, today: What’s the coolest thing you’ve purchased for yourself, lately?
So, stay tuned, kids! 
And, happy Tuesday!

I can recommend my stylist, if you’re interested. She’s fun to talk to and she really knows hair.
The coolest thing I’ve purchased for myself recently would be my percolator/”hot water dispenser”. Just a big kitchen appliance that heats up water and keeps it hot. For a chronic tea drinker like me it’s utter heaven: no more waiting for the kettle to boil.
(Yes, I’m not that cool)

Wow, I’m first??
Honored….
I bought myself a Jeep Wrangler. I don’t need it, and it’s totally a frivolous, selfish, just for me and Charlie kind of thing.
We drive around with the top down and the stereo cranked!!

Darn. Not first… Too slow on the click.
I can also recommend my stylist: Tanis at Lure Salon (http://www.luresalon.ca). Also, if you tell them I referred you I think we both get a discount.
The coolest thing I purchased for myself recently was on my recent trip to Barcelona. I got a really neat short-sleeved blazer at a store called Desigual.

I’m a boy, and as you can see, my hairstyle really sucks, so I am not the right person to recommend a salon.
As for the coolest thing I bought for myself? My videocamera. I am now able to talk to my Mom using Skype for ZILCH. ZERO. NADA.
Hugs!

Stylist? Try Patti Kool, at Red Ruby(Granville St). She’s talkative, gives a good cut and is excellent with her colours (she trained in Italy). She gives me highlights that don’t look “rooty” when they grow out. A few of my co-workers also go to her and they love her work.
Cool purchase? I think I’m going to get a copy of the movie “Paris J’taime”. I totally want to watch over & over again …
So how’s that iPhone working out for ya? Any problems with an unlocked iPhone on the Roger’s network?
I hi-jacked my iPod Touch and started downloading apps for it. There are some really good apps out there but I’ve got alot more surfing and installing to do.
Roger’s last blog post: Get Me Outta Here!
I have my own personal stylist.
But sadly she’s not taking new clients anymore due to her 2 – 3 month wait list.
Cool purchase? Heh, well that would be my new motorbike, a 2007 Triumph Sprint ST.
Sorry to hear about the hair fiasco. I have my own personal barber and he does an awesome job and charges me nothing
I have a couple of recent purchases that I’m happy about. First is my Canon EFS 60 mm Ultrasonic Lens. I’ve been wanting a macro lens and this baby is great. I’m not a great photographer and I do need lessons, but hey you can find some on my Flickr page
Secondly it’s my new Sony Ericson W580i phone. Granted it’s not an iPhone that I really want, but it’s a good standin for now.

Cool purchase? I just got myself a Canon XSi. Now I just need to get myself a case so I can take it out to my outdoor trips.

Sometimes I cut my hair….sometimes other people cut it…it depends how I’m feeling
It has been a couple of months but my macbook is tops on my list for new stuff.

You’re reading Tolle too. (Too meaning, lots of people are. I haven’t myself.) A poor fit of a hairdresser is so frustrating. The worst ones say ooops, ooops, huh?, ooops. and we’re not allowed to run out screaming, why?
coolest thing purchased? no gadgets lately. a couple dozen books….a dress. I got a really cool dress lately, hard to describe, no vocab, no photos…

I have naturally super curly hair. (I work HARD to get it straight in the AM) I have an AMAZING stylist/colourist team.
Go to Chemically Addicted on Davie at Seymour and see Trevor. He LISTENS to what you want, knows how to cut curly hair and doesn’t ever give you a labour intensive style if that’s not your thing.
Tell him I sent you. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
colleen’s last blog post: EPIC 08: Plastic, BAD!
Hey there, T – this isn’t an answer to your question, but yet another recommendation – a little but very sexy salon called “Satellite” in gastown. Near Victory Square Park. Amazing stylists, good prices and in addition, very progressive – the owner really nurtures the young stylists who simply don’t leave because they’re so respected by the owner (= treated well as a result) plus, as a team, they regularly go to women’s shelters and give free, top-quality cuts.

Delayed comment replies… Sorry! Thanks for all the stylist tips, guys! I’ll look into them, once I get over the trauma ‘wink’
Rog — No probs at all. I’ve even messed with the uh, phone’s other settings so that it’s uh, cheaper for data. Deets in an email if you are interested.

Q is impossible to get in to see. She’s really great, though! Yer lucky. I want a new bike, too. But, I really should get a new(er) car before a bike. I’d love an Audi TT, or Pontiac Solstice. *sigh*
Isabella — scrying mirror? What’s that?
Sounds like fun toys! I want an XSi, too. I guess I’d need to sell my XTi, first.
