The Fiscal Cliff, Some Advice

I built a fiscal cliff once and it hurt like hell. Fiscal rolling hills are much better. You think those things occur naturally?

No! I have fiscal groundskeepers (and I make them work in skin-tight body suits so they can’t smuggle out the money).

A fiscal cliff. Pft! What, are you going to fiscal hang glide? Get real!

But … I’ll be honest. I built a fiscal cliff at one point. It was a lack of responsibility and unwillingness t

o deal with a tough situation that caused it to happen. You see …

Actually. Fiscal hang gliding sounds pretty cool. I need to see if someone can build me a hang glider with gold coins. Imagine how that would shine in the sun!

Thanks for the chat!

Ellen DeGeneres bad week

The text of the postcard is

Dear Ellen,

I have a stressful week ahead of me – a doctor’s appointment where I’ll get my blood drawn (read: I will end up having to take a “needle-induced nap”) AND my final! Yipes!

Wish me luck!

Sincerely,

Adventures in Haircuts

For the past two years or so I have been going to the same place to get my hair cut. I go to the place for two reasons:

  • It’s cheap
  • It’s close by

Clearly, I’m not too concerned with how my haircuts go. But it wouldn’t hurt me if I was. Except for a handful of occasions, I have left my haircutters of choice disappointed. I go assuming that I will leave with a haircut I don’t like. Usually it’s an easy problem though – they cut it shorter than I want. I can get over this because a week or two after I get my hair cut it will look nice, and because they cut it shorter than I want, they’re saving me money. Winners all around!

Unfortunately for me, I once had two good haircuts in a ROW from a girl who worked there briefly. Craziness! I left and thought, “hey I look nice” instead of, “hey I look like Jim Carrey from Dumb & Dumber.”  Bad haircut

Last week I was on my way to my usual hair cut place while talking to my sister on the phone. She helped convince me to head to a new place – for a good haircut! What an adventure! My ‘cheap’ criteria still had to be met so I just went to a different cheapskate place …

Much to my surprise, the haircut at this place was even worse. I have a weird bump on the back of my head which should be treated like a speed hump … the girl cutting my hair disagreed. In her mind pushing hard against my head with the clippers would round out my head in no time and make her future work easier (except I won’t be going back there).

I wanted to ask her if, in her mind, she and I had recently suffered from a bad break-up … because she really seemed angry.

Check out the lovely pictures I sent to my sister when I got home.

For this one she told me my eyes made me look like a cartoon villain. I was going for a ‘shocked’ look.

I like to think it makes me look like I’m always at an angle. Head tilted questioningly.

Have no fear, dear reader, I fixed the ear problem with my razor. I’d say I’m looking pretty dapper.
