Technology goes too far

I got an automatic text message from my hair salon yesterday evening asking me to text a confirmation for my appointment today. I'm sorry, but I walked in there in person to make the appointment. Does that mean I didn't want it? Not to mention the fact that I live a whopping three blocks from the place. This town is too small for that sort of crap.

I just made an appointment to get mine cut in the morning. I'm going to take him a picture of Sienna Miller and he's going to look at me like, "I do hair, lady, not miracles."

Oh well. We're going to see what the haircut of Sienna Miller looks like on the face of Ichabod Crane.

Never give anyone your email address, Groover. And never have s stupid mobile phone.
Sage advice from a cranky old guy.

Terroni, hope it goes well.

Kate I almost didn't answer it on principle but then the urge to retain my hair appointment took over.

Dive I couldn't survive without my phone. I'm not attatched to it night and day, but it's an extremely useful tool. It also happens to be my alarm clock.

Well...it went. I'm not really sure how I feel about it yet. I think it's going to take some getting used to.

So, I'm not the only one using the cell as an alarm, huh? I couldn't survive without it either. Although, I'm not really a fan of text messaging. I want to say, "You're holding the damn phone...just call me!"

So...when do you post more pics? Has mafia night already happened?

You need to go to my beauty salon. It is the most relaxing place on the planet. The beauticians sing. I am not kidding. They sing spirituals like angels. It is bizarrely zen in a ridiculously wonderful way.

And the prices won't break you. It always amazes me when people will spend what I spend on groceries for a week for a haircut....

Maria it sounds like a cool idea, but not really my thing. Do they have to audition to get the job?
