A Chill Breeze

I feel cold.

Not just cold, but cold in a way I've never felt before.

Why?

For a while now I've been going to an old barber whose shop is near the animal shelter where Teri volunteers. He hasn't been doing a great job, to be honest; he leaves a lot of stray loose hairs. But the haircuts are generally tolerable, and I like going to an old-fashioned place.

Not any more. Look what he did to the back of my head!



If you don't know me, well, basically he took off the hair on the lower HALF of the back of my head. My hair used to go down to just below the bottoms of my ears, and now it's shaved in a line with the TOPS of my ears! I look like Rowan Atkinson in the first Black Adder series, except that he was funny and I just look ridiculous.

Sigh. I guess I'll just have to wait until it grows out. And wear a hat in the meantime, just to keep warm.

Damn. I'm cold.

Huh. So maybe I'm justified in looking at getting a haircut as almost as unpleasant as a trip to the dentist?

Why do Humans have this, well, mane anyway? It's kinda a weird thing; the other higher primates (meaing the Great Apea, where some would put us) don't have this as such. I vaguely recall that in one feminist view of human evolution the hair was for children to cling to when a semi-aquantic human ancestor went in the water, but from what I've gathered the only evidence for this is subcutanious fat and wishful thinking (a desire to have a non-patriarchial heritage).

Oh well, I tangent....
