Killer Hair Cuts

Last Saturday, I headed downtown to get my haircut. I decided to go with a Jake Gyllenhaal kind of look (minus the scruff as I can't grow any). My dad drove me to Fairview mall where I took the subway down to Bloor. From there, it was only a little while before I arrived at House of Lords. The music blaring, flashing lights, and long line were indications of it's continued popularity amoung young Torontonians. I entered and asked for my usual hair dresser. He seemed a little busy with one customer, so I added my name to a list of drop ins. A pregnant Indian lady took me to her section when my name was called and asked what I wanted. I showed her my GQ magazine with Jake's face plastered over it. She asked if I really was okay with it because it was really short. I agreed as she didn't know that this was considered my norm and that my hair at it's present state was extremely long. She recommended a three on the sides and scissors on the top and I agreed as that's what I had been planning for. She buzzed away at my hair and commented on the dye job. She seemed impressed that it came from a do-it-yourself kit. Quickly, the dye faded away as more and more buzzing went on. Sadly, my hair was already short when I dyed it, so now the roots on the back and sides are what show. After twenty minutes or so, she was done and I was happy with the result. I tipped her a little more than my usual as I was glad she didn't butcher my hair. If she isn't still preggers, I may come back to her.

I texted my friends to see what the plan was for tonight and we agreed that we would keep our events local. I headed back onto the subway and after a bit of detour, arrived back at Fairview where they would pick me up. Seeing as I had time to kill, I scoured the mall. I didn't see many things I liked, besides jackets. One of my best friends always comments on how I have so many, but nothing to wear under them. I totally agree with her. Resisting the temptation, I sat down near the food court on those benches in the halls and awaited their arrival. When they arrived, we headed to get dinner at an AYCE sushi place called Yang's Kitchen. We hadn't been there in a while, so it was good to go back. The food was good, for an AYCE, but what really astounded us was the service. I swear, the severs were like ninjas, removing finished dishes and empty bowls faster than the eye could see from the surrounding tables; ours included. Our night ended off with us catching a movie, Killers, starring Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl. Despite it's extremely poor rating on IMBd, we all enjoyed it. Maybe it was just the mood we were in... And I'm a sucker for chick flicks.

We all decided it was time for bed as we all had plans the next day. They dropped me off and I hugged them each goodbye as I didn't know when I'd be home next.

Good food, good times, and great friends. Who could ask for more?
